 ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE 

 OF BRITISH INSECTS. 



LEPIDOPTERA, Plate 6. 



Not having the plate of beetles ready 

 that we had intended using this month, we 

 give that for July that had been prepared 

 beforehand. It contains four more species 

 of the interesting genus Lithocolletis, as 

 follows : — 



L. Viminetella. — The larva of this 

 species mines the underside of a leaf of 

 Salix viminalis in September and October, 

 The perfect insect may be known by the 

 little white blotch on the inner margin being 

 connected with the basal streak. 



L. Salcicoll,ella. — This is another 

 willow feeder, the larva being found on the 

 underside of leaves of several species of 

 Salix, especially caprcea in June and Septem- 

 ber. The perfect insects being on the wing 

 in May and August. 



L. Viminella. — Another salix feeder, but 

 not confined to viminalis. Like the species 

 there are two broods, the larvae of which 

 feed in June and September. The colour 

 of the markings on the fore wings of the 

 moth will at once distinguish it from its 

 near allies. It has been found inmost parts 

 of England and Scotland. 



L. Acerifoliella=Sylvella. — This 

 species feeds on Maple in July, and again in 

 October, on the underside of the leaf. The 

 imago is distinct and cannot well be con- 

 founded with any other. Generally dis- 

 tributed as far north as Yorkshire, probably 

 further.
