D. woodiana, Barr.; orchards, the moth at rest on the trunks of the apple-trees and the larva (more frequent) mining the leaves of mistletoe. There is no record of its having occurred outside the county, and it is apparently un- known abroad. Penthina capreana, Hb.; Woolhope, rather scarce. P. picana, Froel. P. betulaetana, Haw. P. sororculana, Zett. ; praelongana, Gn.; Woolhope, common. The larva lives beneath a web on the underside of a birch leaf, arching the leaf and eating only its under-surface; three or four leaves are used up in the course of its life. P. pruniana, Hb.

G. penkleriana, Fisch. G. obtusana, Haw. ; Woolhope, very common in woods. G. nigricana, H.-S. ; a specimen taken in Stoke Wood about 1875 led to its in- clusion in the British list ; subsequently the moth was found flying commonly round silver fir in the afternoon sunshine, and the larva living in its terminal buds. The Hereford- shire moth is a much darker insect than the continental type. G. naevana, Hb. G. gemi- nana, Steph. ; Black Mountain, and in the orchards of the lowlands Phlaeodes tetraquetrana, Haw.
