specimen from a larva found on one of the Umbelliferce , at 
Headley Lane, in June. 
D. nervosa , I. B., p. 99. I found the splendid larva of 
this feeding on CEnantlie crocata last May, near Dawlish; 
Dr. Colquhoun bred it from pupee found in the stems of the 
same plant, near Ardrossan. 
Gelechia cuneatella } I. B., p. 110. Mr. Boyd bred two 
specimens of this species from larvas found on willow, June 
22 nd, then nearly full fed. 
ft desertella , I. B., p. 113; and G . mundella , 1. B., p. 
115. Mr. Gregson has bred both these from moss on the 
sandhills, but had not observed the larvae. This hint, how¬ 
ever, may be of assistance to others. 
ft affinis, I. B., p. 115. The larva feeds on moss on a 
wall in my neighbourhood, from December to March. 
ft domestica , I. B., p. 117. 1 found the larvae of this 
feeding on moss, in company with 6r. affinis , at the end of 
March; previously the larva had not been distinguished 
from that of G . affinis , so that I know not how soon it be¬ 
gins to feed. 
ft vulgella , I. B., p. 119. The larva feeds between united 
hawthorn leaves at the end of April, eating them half 
through, and so discolouring them. 
ft luculella f I. B., p. 119. Mr, Wing found the pale 
greenish, black-spotted larva of this species on the 12th of 
February,* feeding in the decayed wood of a prostrate tree 
* [This was a chilly, damp day, and it was whilst seeking for this 
hrva that Mr. Wing contracted a cold, which suddenly brought the 
^ease (diabetes), which must long have been lurking in his system, to 
a crisis. Fortunately for our science, that crisis did not prove imme- 
Jj? te ly fatal, for the plates to the Insecta Britannica—Lepidoptera, 
ie »na, were not then put on the stone; it was, however, several weeks 
,°re Mr. Wing recovered sufficient strength to resume his occupa-
