Bruand (Ann. Soc. Eut. Fr. ii, p. 187, pi. vi) has communicated observa- 

 tions made on several of the Tmeidae. 1. The natural history of Cldlo 

 phraymitellus, with its caterpillar. 2. Hcemylis pastinacella, the caterpillar 

 of which lives ou Heracleum sphondylium, eating the seeds while green, and 

 undergoing its transformation within the stem. 3. Solcnobia clutlireUa ?

Dup., the caterpillar of which is a case-bearer, aud feeds on lichens. The
