We shall figure the species as opportunity 

 offers. In this plate we give the transfor- 

 mations of four species, as follow :— 



L. Faginella. 



This species mines the underside of beech 

 leaves in July and October. The imagines 

 appear in May and August. 



It is distinguishable from Spinicolella by 

 having a broader basal streak and broad 

 dark margin to opposite spots. 



L Spinicolella. 



The larva feeds in mines on the under 

 side of plum and sloe leaves in July and 

 October. The imagines are on the wing in 

 May and August. It has been found abun- 

 dantly in most parts of England. 



From Carasicolella it may be distinguished 

 by the absence of the reddish tinge on the 

 anterior wings. From Faginella, see above. 



L vacciniella. 



The larva of this species mines the under 

 side of the leaves of the cowberry ( Vacci- 

 nium vitis-idcea ) in April and May and again 

 in July. The moths are on the wing at the 

 end of May and again in August. It has 

 been found where the food-plant grows in 

 many parts of England and as far north as 

 Perthshire. 



It may be distinguished by the rich tint 

 of the forewings, the markings being rather 

 silvery, and without the white scales on the 

 inner margin near the base. 



L hremiella. 



The larva feeds in a mine on the under 

 side of the leaves of the bush vetch (Vicia 

 sepium) and other vetches in July and Sep- 

 tember. The moths are on the wing in 

 April and again in August. It has been 

 found in Casle Eden, at Bexley, and some 

 other localities. 



The moth comes nearest to Lantella, but 

 may be distinguished by the duller appear- 

 ance of the fore wings, and the markings 

 being paler, and by the head being fuscous 

 — in Lantella it is black. 



Entomological Notes from Bradford. 

 — The mild weather of January made the 

 spring lepidoptera put in a somewhat early 

 appearance. January 16th, Mr. Butterfield 

 records to me the first specimen of P.pilosaria. 

 January 20th, three or four H. leucophearia 

 were on the trunks of trees at Shipley Glen ; 

 last season the first example was noted on 

 the 21st of the month. On this date also 

 (20th) Mr. A. Hartley records the appear- 

 ance in Calverley Wood of H. progemmaria, 

 female specimens only observed. Feb. 3rd, 

 although there were several degrees of frost, 

 H. leucophearia was quite common at Shipley 

 Glen ; they were, however, in a semi-torpid 

 state, and could not be induced to move 

 from the trunks of the trees. — J. W. Carter,
