Insects bemoved from my Setting- 
Boards IN 1858. 
(Continued from p. 164.) 
55. Elachista Paludum (^Caricis). I 
find that I have made the egregious 
blunder of sending this insect to Pro- 
fessor Frey under the name of E. Palu- 
dum, by which name he has described it 
in the 13th volume of the ‘ Linnaea Eu- 
tomologica;’ subsequently, oblivious that 
1 had imparted the species with this 
name, I described it myself, in the ‘ En- 
tomologist’s Annual’ for 1859, under the 
name of E. Caricis. As I believe the 
publication of the ‘Linnsa’ preceded by 
a few days that of the ‘Annual,’ the 
name of Paludum must be retained for 
this species, the history of which is as 
follows : — Early last April Mr. Winter, of 
Ranworth, sent me some Elachista larvae 
mining the leaves of Carex paniculata ; 
that the Feus should produce peculiar 
species of Elachista was highly probable, 
and I assumed these larvte to be new, 
and came to the resolution to go and ex- 
plore the locality myself. I went, and 
visited Ranworth on the 27ih of April, in 
company with Mr. Winter, and collected 
freely the Elachista larvce he had pre- 
viously sent me (which eventually proved 
to be only E. Gleichenella), and also ob- 
tained some of another Elachista larva : 
both larvae were mining indifferently in 
Carex paniculata And C.paludosa; from 
the new larvtE thus obtained I bred seven 
sjrecimens of a species, which, though 
closely allied to Rhynchosporella, ap- 
pears to me distinct : it will probably 
be found widely distributed in marshy 
localities. 
56. E. Rhynchosporella. I bred a spe- 
cimen of this from larvie mining in a 
Carex, sent me from Scarborough, by 
Mr. Wilkinson. 
57. E. Eleochariella. I bred several 
specimens of this from larvre in Erio- 
phorum, sent me, early in May, by Mr. 
Wilkinson, of Scarborough. Mr. Wilkin- 
son has come to the conclusion that 
Eleochariella and Rhynchosporella are 
one species, he having bred both from 
Carex and both from Eriophorum. I 
cannot yet concede this point, and would 
observe that I have bred Gleichenella 
and Paludum both from C. paludosa and 
C. paniculata, yet it never occurred to 
me that the moths were only forms of 
one species, and that, though Mr. Scott 
found, some years back, larvae mining in 
six different grasses, and that each of 
the six grasses produced both E. albi- 
frontella and E. cygnipennella, those are 
still generally reputed to be distinct 
species. 
58. E. PolUnariella. I received from 
Professor Frey larvae of this species 
mining the leaves of Brachypodium syl- 
vaticurn, at the end of May, and bred 
therefrom two specimens. Professor Frey 
now proposes to retain for this species 
the name of Disertella, restricting the 
name PolUnariella to a closely-allied 
species. The subject requires further in- 
vestigation. 
59. Tischeria Dodoncea. I had col- 
lected the larvae of this species abun- 
dantly in September, 1857, at Abbey 
Wood and West Wickham, but I only 
bred a single specimen. It is very de- 
cidedly smaller than T. complanella, but 
1 should feel much obliged to any one 
who could point out to me any other dis- 
tinguishing character in the perfect in- 
sect. 
60. Lithocolletis quinqueyuttella. From 
some leaves of the dwarf sallow, sent me 
from Scarborough, by Mr. Wilkinson, the 
previous autumn, I bred last April a 
fine series of this little species. 
62. L. cavella. I bred one specimen of 
this from a birch-leaf, picked at West
