 INSECTS common ; 0. purpurana at Bentley and O. ericetana at Orford, while O. antiquana and O. striana are recorded from several localities in the east ; Phtheochroa rugosana has been taken at Aldeburgh, Chelmondiston, and Felixstowe ; and the rare Sciaphila sinuata at the latter place ; and we have also S. communana and S. chrysantheana ; while C/epsis rusticana occurs at Tuddenham. Of the pretty genus Phoxopteryx none seem to be common unless it is P. lundana; P. unguicana at Brandon and Copdock, P. inornatana at Tuddenham, P. comptana at Leiston, and P. lactana at Brandon, Bentley, and Assington, are all local ; while the rare P. upupana has been taken at Bentley Woods. Of the numerous species of Grapholithidae may be mentioned Bactra furfurana at Lowestoft, Grapholitha nigromaculana at Brandon, Elveden, and Aldeburgh ; Phloeodes immundana at Leiston, Paedisca hilunana with P. occultana at Orford and Felixstowe ; P. oppressana at Brandon, Ipswich, and Lowestoft ; Olindia ulmana, Semasla ianthinana, S. rufillana, and Hens'imeme fimbr'iana are all local. The rare Coccyx ochsenheimeriana was taken by Mr. Warren at Brandon ; the pretty Stigmonota regiana is not rare, S. roseticolana is found near Ipswich, and S. redimitana and S. weirana at Bentley ; and Carpocapsa grossana at Flixton. C. funebrana, of which the larvae are common in plums, is rarely met with in the perfect state ; Dkrorampha saturnana, D. plumbagana, and D. simp/iciana are local, as are also Catoptria Juliana, C. expallidana, and S. candidulana, the last at Southwold ; while Trycheris mediana is everywhere abundant. Of the Conchylidae the best are Eupoecilia nana, notulana, and E. rupicela ; E. roseana, first taken in Suffolk at Bungay in -1905, and E. vcctisana, which occurs plentifully in salt-marshes ; E. DeGreyana and E. anthemidana are very local, and have only been taken at Brandon ; Argyrolepia Subbaumannia at Tuddenham and A. xephyrana at Felixstowe. Of the interesting genus Conchylh, C. Francillana, C. dllucidana, C. Smeathmanniana, and C. inopiana are all local, while C. beatricella was introduced into the British list from specimens bred near Leiston by the Hon. Beatrice de Grey. TINEA We can only mention a few of the rarer and most interesting species of this group. PSYCHIDAE Five species, of which Psyche radiella has been taken both in the east near Ipswich and west at Lakenheath ; P. reticella at Hemley and Easton Broad in 1905. TiNEIDAE Of this family there are forty-one species ; and three of the interesting genus Ochsenhelmeria have occurred, though none seem common ; 0. vaculella was recorded by Kirby, and has since been taken in several localities, 0. hirdella at Thetford and Barnby Broad, 0. hisontella at Tuddenham and Bentley Woods. Of the destructive genus Tinea some are very common, but T. imella has only occurred at Brandon, and T. semifulvella at Copdock and Flixton. Of the beautiful long-horns, Adela degeerella and viridella are common ; A. sulzella has been recorded by Curtis from Wrentham, A. rufimetrella taken by the writer at Barnby Broad in 1905, and A. fibulella is occasionally met with. Nemotois fasciellus does not seem to be rare, having been taken at Orford and several times both at Ipswich and Aldeburgh, but N. minimellus only in Barnby Broad. HyPONOMEUTIDAE These comprise twelve kinds, of which Hyponomeuta evonymellus occurs at Thorpe and Orford, H. virgiratipunctatus and Anesychia decemguttella at Bungay. Plutellidae Of the eleven species, Cerostoma sequella and C. silvella are scarce, Eidophasia messinglel/a has been taken by Lord Walsingham at Copdock, Plutella porrectella at Hemley ; and Theristii caudella would seem to be not uncommon at Bentley, though not met with elsewhere. Gelechiidae Of these we have about one hundred and eight species, but few of them can be noticed Of the twenty-four kinds of Depreaaria the following are scarce : — D. umbellana among gorse, 133
