THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
small cocoons in the sand on the War- 
ren, near Starcross, and sent me one for 
examination ; I reported favonrublv, and 
begged for a further supply, which Mr. 
Hellins most promptly and courteonsly 
sent, and I reared, at the end of May 
and beginning of June, several specimens 
of G. rnarmorea. The discovery of the 
larva will probably take place in March 
or April, this year; it should feed on one 
of the Caryophyllaceae. 
13. G. leucomelanella. I bred a speci- 
men of this pretty addition to our Fauna, 
from larva sent me from Cornwall by 
Mr. Boyd, who found them feeding on 
Silene inaritima. 
14. G. leucatella, I bred this from 
larva sent me by Herr Miihlig. The 
larva vary somewhat in colour, but are 
generally reddish brown or purple-brown ; 
they feed on hawthorn, apple and moun- 
tain ash at the end of May. 
15. G. albipalpella. In June last I 
spent an evening with the Rev. P. H. 
Newnham, at Guildford, collecting the 
larva of this species; they were very 
plentiful ; I certainly brought home more 
than a hundred, but only bred a single 
specimen. 
16. G. arundinetella. At the end of 
March I visited Hackney, in order to 
learn, from Mr. Boyd’s personal instruc- 
lions, “ the ways and means” of finding 
the larva of this singular species ; the 
larva were not rare, and we collected a 
good number, but the rearing of these 
Carex riparia feeders is rather a difficult 
matter, and I only obtained two speci- 
mens of the perfect insect. I have not 
been able to find it anywhere in my own 
neighbourhood. 
17. G.FarinoscE. Professor Frey kindly 
sent me, from Zurich, some of the red- 
marbled larva of this insect, feeding in 
doubled-up leaves of Primula Farinosa, 
and I bred from them one specimen of 
this sombre-looking insect. 
18 . Ypsolophus marpinellus, Mr. Bos- 
cher, of Twickenham, sent me some larva 
of this insect, and I bred therefrom two 
specimens. 
19. Dasj/cera Oliviclla. This insect was 
very common in my garden last summer, 
and should it revisit me again in equal 
numbers I shall be happy to supply all 
who want it. I had never been in the 
habit of meeting with more than seven 
or eight in a season ; twenty in an after- 
noon was something quite new to my 
experience. 
20. Buialis siccella. I bred a speci- 
men of this species from some sand co- 
coons sent me by Professor Zeller. 
21. jB. torquatella. Of this I bred two 
cripples from the larva I had received 
from Herr Schmid the previous autumn. 
Last August, as the readers of the ‘ In- 
telligencer’ will remember, I collected 
the larva freely in several localities in 
Scotland; whether they will survive the 
winter remains to be seen. 
22. Glyphipleryx Haworthana. Early 
in April I received from Mr. Chappell, of 
Manchester, some larva of this species, 
and had the pleasure of breeding several 
towards the end of the same month. 
23. Argyreslhia glaucinella. At the 
end of March, Mr. Edleston sent me 
some larva of this species, and one was 
kind enough to make its appearance in 
the perfect state ; the others, I suppose, 
dried up. 
25. Ornix Loganella. I bred several 
of this from larva sent me the previous 
autumn by Mr. Wilkinson, of Scar- 
borough. 
26. Coleophora ditella, Herr Hofmann 
sent me, in May, some larva of this spe- 
cies, which feeds on Artemisia campestris, 
and one survived to attain the perfect 
state. It is worth while to bear in mind, 
in case any entomologist should have an 
opportunity of collecting amongst that 
plant, that not only C. ditella, but also 
C. succursella and C. calelipennella feed 
on A. campestris ; it is not a common 
British plant, “ occurring only on dry 
sandy heaths in Norfolk and Suffolk, and
