INSECTS Spilodes palealis, Sch. In the year 1875 this species was obtained at Croxton, Thet- ford, Booton, and Barton Bendish, con- firming the records of Curtis, Stephens and Wood of its presence in the county ; so far as I know none have been ob- served since ; and the species has be- come very scarce in the British Isles — cinctalis, Tr. Generally distributed ; occurring in clover fields Scopula lutealis, Haw. Norwich, A/dehy, Ketteringham, Lynn, Cawston — ferrugalis, Hb. Widely distributed, and occasionally common Eudorea basislrigalis, Knaggs. Norwich, Aldeby, Denton ; scarce — cembras. Haw. Norwich, Aldehy, Wootton, Cawston, Hunstanton — dubitalis, Hb. (pyralella, Sch.) abundant ; its pretty variety ingratella has been taken at Brandon and Hingham — lineola, Curt. Norwich, Croxton, Hingham, Denton ; very local — crataegella, Hb. Norwich, Cawston, Bran- don, near Lynn, not common — resinea, Haw. Norwich, Denton, very local — truncicolella, Stn. Norwich, Horsford, Cawston ; abundant near Lynn, upon trunks of Scotch firs — coarctalis, Z. (angustea. Curt.). Norwich, Denton, Lynn — pallida, Curt. Abundant in fens and marshes Adactyla bennettii. Curt. Hunstanton, Lynn, in salt marshes Platyptilia isodactylus, Z. Norwich ; among Senecio aquaticus, in marshes Amblyptilia acanthodactyla, Hb. Norwich, Aldehy, Croxton, St. Faiths, Cawston, Cromer, Lynn Oxyptilus teucrii. Greening. Norwich, Mer- ton, Croxton, Lynn ; local among Teu- crium scorodonia — distans, Z. Merton, Thetford, Brandon, Swaffham ; principally upon the ' Breck-sand ' ; little known elsewhere in the United Kingdom — parvidactylus. Haw. Croxton ; very local Mimaesioptilus phasodactylus, Hb, Hunstan- ton ; taken by Mr. Atmore — plagiodactylus, Fisch. Norwich, Merton, Croxton ; among Scabiosa columbaria — zophodactylus, Dup. Norwich, Merton, Hunstanton ; among Erythrsea centaur- lum Lynn, ^ffdematophorus lithodactylus, Tr. Hunstanton ; among Inula Leioptilus lienigianus, Z. Norwich, Ring/and, Horning, Lynn ; very local among Artemisia Leioptilus microdactylus, Hb. Merton, Crox- ton, Ranworth ; among Eupatorium cannabinum — brachydactylus, Tr. The only recorded occurrence of this species in Great Britain was in Norfolk ; yet the locality is unknown. There seems no reason to doubt Mr. Farr's capture of it, which took place fifty years ago. This speci- men was for forty years in the collec- tion of Mr. J. Jenner Weir ; and was recorded as British by Mr. H. T. Stainton Aciptilia galactodactyla, Hb. Norwich, Mer- ton, Denton, Sparham, Foxley, Hockering ; among Arctium lappa — tetradactyla, Linn. Taken at Swaffham by Mr. Atmore Platytes cerusellus, Sch.

Croxton, Little Saxton ; frequent on heaths near Lynn — uliginosellus, Z. Common in fens and marshes — pinetellus, Linn. Generally distributed, but not very common — latistrius. Haw. Norwich, Croxton, Caws- ton ; abundant on the denes near Tar- mouth, and frequent on the heaths about Lynn — perlellus. Scop. Abundant ; curious varieties approaching and even actually representing the form known as C. warringtonellus, have been taken at Brandon, Croxton, Hunstanton, near Lynn, and elsewhere — selasellus, Hb. Common in the fens, and in some marshes — salinellus, H. In a salt marsh at Lynn — contaminellus, Hb. Taken near Hun- stanton by Mr. Atmore — fascelinellus, Hb. Yarmouth, Hunstanton, Heacham, on the sandhills. So far as I know this handsome species is only found with us in the county of Nor- folk — chrysonuchellus. Scop.
