 INSECTS TINEAE {continued) Gl}phipteryx fuscoviridella. Haw. G. thrasonella, Scop. G. equitella, Scop. ; Leominster (Hutchin- son), Ledbury. G. forsterella, Fb. ; oculatella, Zell. ; Woolhope, local but common. G. fischeri- ella, Zell. Aechmia dentella, Zell. ; Ledbury and Strettan Grandi- son, common Perittia obscuripunctella, Stn. Tinagma sericiellum, Haw. T. betulae, Stn. ; dis- covered first at Woolhope, now known to occur in other parts of the kingdom. T. resplen- dellum, Dougl. Argyresthia ephippella, Fb. A. nitidella, Fb. A. semitestacella, Curt. A. spiniella, Zell.; Nash Scarr ; larva on mountain ash. A. albistria, Haw. A. conjugella, Zell.; Haugh Wood and Black Mountain. A. semifusca. Haw. A. mendica, Haw. A. glaucinella, Zell.; Wool- hope, common. A. retinella, Zell. A. dilec- tella, Zell.; Westhope Hill. A. curvella, L. A. Eorbiella, Tr. ; Black Mountain. A. pyg- maeella, Hb. A. gaedartella, L. A. bro- chella, Hb. A. arceuthina, Zell.; Westhope Bill, abundant. A. aurulentella, Zell.; West- hope Hill, scarce Cedestis farinatella, Dup. Ocnerostoma piniariella, Zell. Zelleria hepariella, Mann. Gracilaria alchimiella, Scop. G. stigmatella, Fb. G. falconipennella, Hb. Of this great rarity it may be said, not rare in Cusop Dingle ; on one occasion as many as a dozen of its cocoons were found under the alder leaves. G. semi- fascia. Haw.; Woolhope. G. populetorum, Zell.; common in some of the Woolhope Woods ; larva always on birch. G. elongella, L. G. tringipennella, Zell. G. syringella, Fb. G. auroguttella, Steph. G. ononidis, Zell. ; Wool- hope, occasionally in rough fields Coriscium brogniartellum, Fb. C. cuculipennellum, Hb. Ornix avellanella, Stn. O. fagivora, Stn.; the Dou'ard ; some years abundant. O. anglicella, Stn. O. betulae, Stn. O. scutulatella, Stn.; Woolhope, twice met with ; a larva, making a cone-shaped habitation quite different to the flat ones of the other two birch-feeding species, probably belongs here, but the few found have not been reared. O. torquillella, Stn. O. scoticella, Stn. O. loganella, Stn.; Woolhope, common ; the larvae are usually in small colonies and prefer seedling plants or the lower branches of birch bushes, whilst those of betulae choose the upper branches and are solitary. O. guttea. Haw. Coleophora fabriciella, Vill. C. deauratella. Lien.; Woolhope, not scarce. C. fuscocuprella, H.-S.; Woolhope, common. C. alcyonipennella, Kol. C. paripennella, Zell.

C. genistae, Stn.; Tram TINEAE {continued) Inn, very common. C. bilineatella, Woolhope, among Genista tinctoria, rather scarce. C. conyzae, Zell.; Woolhope, in a single spot. C. troglodytella, Dup. ; Dozvard. C. inulae, Wk. ; confined to a single sheltered spot, a few feet square, in the Woolhope district, where it has continued to exist since 1 890. About forty years ago a few cases were discovered by Mr. Machin at Leith Hill in Surrey, but the insect was never met with there again, and the Woolhope locality is now its only known habitat in these islands. The larva takes two years to feed up, and the moth only appears in alternate seasons. C. pyrruli- pennella, Tisch.; Wapley Hill. C. lineola. Haw. C. murinipennella, Fisch. C. altico- lella, Zell. C. sylvaticella. Wood ; a new species, discovered among Luzula sylvatica in Haugh Wood, and bred from the plant, the larva taking two years to feed up. C. glauci- colella. Wood. Also discovered and named from Herefordshire moths. C. agrammella. Wood. Another new species discovered in the county. C. laripennella, Zett. C. apicella, Stn.; Woolhope, common in damp places.
