Being much interested in the Tineidæ, Mr. chambers' articles on this family of moths are the first to receive attention as the successive numbers of your magazine come to hand.

I have had the satisfaction of rearing from their larvæ many of the winged gems described in your pages, among others the twospecies named above. Now, as Mr. C. seems to have been in some doubt as to his own determination of these specics, of which he has as yet-as he informs me seen only the imagines, it occurs to me that a description of their larval characteristics might affors some aid in deciding the doubtful points.
