OBSERVATIONS ON BRITISH TINEINA. 
(Supplementary to the Insecta Britannica—Lepidop- 
tera, Tineina; and the Entomologist’s Companion ; 
2nd Edition.) 
Ochsenheimeria Birdella 7 Jj JL* p. 22. A description 
of the larva, and its niqdfc of feeding, given by Scott in 
last June’s Zoologist* at page 4336; at the end of April 
I again observed the larva crawling on the tops of grass, 
probably when in the act of moving from a plant it had 
eaten to a fresh one. 
Tinea areuatella , I. B., p. 29. Mr. Cooper found the 
larvffl in fungi on birch trees, near Rannoch, in July; hence 
the species is double-brooded. 
Tinea ochraceella , I. B., p. 37. Mr. Wailes visited 
Rannoch, and obtained some eggs of this species, which he 
left in Mr. Logan’s care to rear in an ant’s nest at Dudding- 
stone. “Mr. Logan has reared the eggs, and finds the 
tarvae feed on the straws, leaves of pine, &c., of which the 
a nts make their nests, so that they are true Tinea in their 
habits.” 
Tampronia quadripunctella , I. B., p. 38. In May last, 
Logan wrote me—“ I have to-day reared L. quadri - 
V^nctella from wild rose ; its larva is very similar to that of 
L- Rubiella , but not cpiite so red, being rather paler and 
browner.”
