THE BRITISH TINEINA.

spring, having apparently wintered in the withered tip of the 
leaf; it is full fed in March, and almost immediately it 
quits the mine it fixes itself in the angle of the leaf, and 
changes to papa; thus, by looking at the base of the leaves 
which have been mined, the pupa may be readily collected. 
It frequents those plants which grow in the shelter of 
bushes: those among the junipers at Sanderstead Downs 
are very prolific in this species. 
E. consortella , I. B., p. 256. I have met with this in 
Headley Lane in July. 
E. pulckella , I. B., p. 256, proves to be the female of E. 
obscurellcij I. B., p. 257. Mr. Edleston’s observations, he 
having taken it, in company with both broods of obscurella f 
show this; and last July I bred both insects from the same 
larvae from IIolcus and other grasses. 
E. zonariella , I. B., p. 257. Last August I bred se¬ 
veral of this from larvae in Air a ccespitosa sent me by Mr. 
Scott. 
E. gangabella, I. B., p. 258. Bred very freely last sum¬ 
mer by Mr. Douglas and myself from larvm we found in 
Eactylis glomerata near Beckenham. The larvae com¬ 
mence feeding in the autumn, and make long puckered 
mines ( Litkocolletiform ) in the grass leaves; they pass the 
winter without eating, inside the withered leaves, but in 
March they again make fresh mines, and move readily from 
leaf to leaf; they are full fed about the middle of April. 
Me found a few in IIolcus mollis . The insect seems very 
local, as, though so plentiful where we found them, it was 
°oly for an extent of about 100 yards; and, though Dactylis 
bounded on both sides of this restricted locality, we found 
none of this insect. 
E. Ehynchosporella , I. B. p. 259. I bred this last June 
from larvae found mining down from the tops of the leaves 
0 ^ Eleocharis, on Haldon, near Dawlish, last May.
