30 [July, 



Myelois Qnarmorea, Hw. — This is called epelydella, Z., in continental 

 collections, but as it appears that the insect had been described under 

 the name of marmorea by Haworth long before Zeller published it 

 under that of e])elydella, the latter name cannot be retained. The 

 larva feeds on sloe and hawthorn ; it has been described by Mr. 

 Buckler. 



Myelois ceratonice, Z. — This insect is a true Myelois. It has been 

 re-described by Yaughan as Traclionitis Pry er ell a. Thanks to the 

 kindness of Mr, Stainton, I have had an opportunity of seeing one 

 of the original types, which I find is only a bleached example of 

 ceratonicB, 7i. This type is quite abnormal in structure, for it has nine 

 veins to the hind-wings, the sub-costal vein throwing out two branches 

 to the costa. 



Ceratonice has lately been described b}" Sorhagen in the Berliner 

 ent, Zeit., xxvi, p. 15i, as Euzophera Zellerella.^ but having seen the 

 original and unique type which exists in the Berlin Zoological Museum, 

 I find it is also a light-coloured mottled specimen of ceratonice ; the 

 hind-wings have eight veins, so that it is surely not a EuzopJiera, but 

 a Myelois. The insect has also been distributed in a few collections 

 under the name of Bagonoti by my friend Baron von Nolcken, but 

 happily the publication has been arrested in time. 



The larva has frequently been described ; it feeds on dried fruit, 

 such as Ceratonia siliqua, dates, Pyriis jcqjonica, &c. I have bred it 

 from a larva found feeding in a blood-orange in January. 



*3fyclois cirrigerella, Zk.— The larva of this species is still un- 

 known. 



Myelois pin guis, Hw. — The larva was discovered by Mr. Helstrip, 

 of York, and it has been described by Mr. Buckler ; it feeds under the 

 bark of ash trees. This species and the following are not true 

 Myelois, the hind- wings bearing only seven veins ; they belong to the 

 genus Euzopliera^ Z. 



Myelois a^^temisiella, IStt. — Artemisiella had already been described 

 in 1839 by Zeller, under the name of cinerosella, and afterwards by 

 Eversmann under that of incanella. The larva has been published 

 several times ; it feeds in the roots of Artemisia absynthium and A. 

 cmnpestris. 



EuzopJiera ohlitella, Z. — Yon Heinemann places this insect in his 

 genus Stenoptycha,-f but the neuration is very different from that of 



t Finding that the name was already used for a genus of Lepidoptera, von Heinemann after- 

 wards changed the name into Melia, but this also being employed, Zeller proposed instead that 

 of Euzophera.
