The perfect insects appeared in June ; those with dark a]\tcnna> 
were all males, those with white-tipped antenna? were all females, whence 
the author concludes that tenehrosella is the female of tenehrella, and 
calls upon all those who doubt, to satisfy themselves, by breeding the 
insect, of the correctness of his determination. 
Cleodora striatella. — In the Wiener Entomologische Mouatschrift 
for 1S64, at p. 29, is a notice of this insect by Herr Gartner, of Briinn. 
That entomologist had observed that the perfect insects of striatella 
frequented a "wood-meadow," which was thickly studded with the 
flowers of Atithemis tinctoria, and that specimens were constantly to be 
noticed reposing on these flowers, Herr Gartner drew the conclusion 
that the larvse must feed in the seed-heads of the Antliemis tinctoria, 
and seeking in the autumn found a larva feeding in the receptacle. 
He then collected a number of the seed-heads of thiis plant, and was 
agreeably surprised to breed from them both Cleodora striatella and 
Parasia paucipunctella. 
The larva of Cleodora striatella quits the head of the plant when 
full fed ; it is described as white or brownish-white, with three rust-red 
lines along the back, interrupted between the segments ; the head 
reddish-brown ; the thoracic plate shining brownish, divided by a slen- 
der pale line. 
The larva of Parasiapaucipunctella (a species not yet known to occur 
with us) does not quit the seed-head ; it is extremely similar to the other 
known larvse of the genus Parasia — shining-white, with a dark brown 
head, and dark brown plate, divided in the middle, on the second 
segment. 
It will be remembered that the larva of Parasia paiicipunctella was 
detected at Eatisbon by Herr Hofmann in October, 1860, in the heads 
of Antliemis tinctoria (Ent. Annual, 1861, p. 118 ; 1862, p. 130). I 
had the pleasure of rearing a fine series of the insect from larvae sent 
me by Herr Hofmann. 
Butalis incongruella. — Dr. Jordan has met with this insect on the 
Lickey Hills near Birmingham ; I visited the locality in September, 
hoping to meet with the larva, but was not successful in finding it. 
Boslerstammia Erxlehella. — When at Hanover in September, 1865, 
I saw bred specimens of this insect in the collection of Herr Glitz. 
In the Ent. Annual, 1857, p. 125, I observed that ♦' Some years ago 
Mr. T. Wilkinson found this in plenty at the end of May and beginning 
of June in Leigh Wood, near Bristol, on the leaves of some lime trees ; 
frequently in copula on the leaves, also freely on the wing. Mr. AVilkin-
