LEPIDOPTERA. 
stems of the butter-bur (as H. Brunnichana feeds in the 
flower stems of the coltsfoot). I found the perfect insect at i 
Chudleigb, Devon, in June, 1850, in some plenty among 
the butter-bur (Petasites vulgaris ). 
Semasia rufillana, Zeller; first enumerated as British I 
in Doubleday’s Catalogue, at page 25; it had previously | 
been confounded with Ianthinana , under the name of Ledi- I 
ana ; it occurs at Sanderstead Downs and Headley Lane. 
Coccyx cosmophorana, Treit.; first recorded as British 
by Mr. Doubleday, in the Zoologist for 1847, at page 1884, 
having been captured by Mr. Hodgfkinson, in Scotland; a 
few specimens have since been taken in Scotland. 
Coccyx Strobilella, Linn.; first recorded as British i 
in the Proceedings of the Entomological Society for June, 
1849, when Mr. Douglas exhibited specimens, as did also | 
Mr. Shepherd, he having reared one from cones of spruce 
fir; “ the larva had fed in the centre ” of the cone, and 
“changed to a pupa, about two inches from the apex.” 
An account of the habits of the larva and pupa is given by 
Mr. E. Shepherd, in the Zoologist for 1850, page 2748. 
The insect has since been bred abundantly, and is now in I 
all collections. 
Coccyx finitimana, Guenee; first enumerated as Bri- | 
tish in Doubleday’s Catalogue, at page 25; several speci¬ 
mens of this have been met with in Scotland, by Mr. Weaver, 
Mr. Hodgkinson, and other collectors. 
Coccyx pygm^ana, Hiibner; first enumerated as Bri¬ 
tish in Stephens’s Museum Catalogue, at page 51, but it 
would appear that this was the species described by Haworth 
as subsequana. “ Posterior wings whitish, with the apex 
broadly fuscous.” »“ Imago in April.” 
On the Continent the species frequents pine trees, from the 
end of March to May. The larva feeds on the pine leaves 
in July.
