470 NOTES ON ZELOTYPIA STACYI, AND AN ACCOUNT OF A VARIETY. 



The specimen was reared from a larva found in the trunk of a 

 black apple tree (1) some three or four feet from the ground, and the 

 only peculiarity observed during its transformation was that the 

 pad with which the larva when fully grown closed the entrance to 

 its burrow was much smaller and less dense in texture than is 

 usually the case. Possibly this specimen may indicate a species 

 distinct from that of the grey guui, but in the absence of more 

 information I prefer to regard it as a variety. 



In conclusion it may be of interest to add that the name ' bent- 

 wing' has been conferred upon this moth by the miners. 



(1)1 am not aware if this is Achrasamtralis, which usually passes under 

 that name.
