98 [October, 
with which I had been much struck when I first saw it in M. Guenee's 
collection, and of which I dotted down the note " like rufescens, but 
with three ocellated spots." It was given to me with the name 
inulella (/). 
In the autumn of the same year (1856), I received a letter from 
Monsieur Pierre Milliere, of Lyons, in which there occurs the following 
passage : 
" I have just discovered at Lyons two species of Micro- Lepidoptera 
new for France ; these are Diasemia Bamhurialis, H. S., Gue., and 
Anacam2)sis triannulella, H. S. The latter I bred from the larva, of 
which the habits are very interesting." 
In February, 1858, Monsieur Milliere sent me a box of insects, 
in which were two specimens of this trianmdella ; my correspondent 
adding " of which I hope soon to give you the history of the earlier 
stages." 
These specimens were identical with that I had received from 
M. Guenee under the doubtful name of inulella. 
In February, 1863, I paid my first visit to Monsieur Milliere at 
Lyons. In looking through his collection, I dotted down sundry notes, 
and amongst others the following : " Gelechia t^^imaculella — larva rolls 
leaves of Convolvulus sepium in October, imago in November." 
I am disposed now to think that trimaculella was a slip of the pen, 
or rather of the pencil for triannulella. 
In April, 1863, there appeared in the Wiener Entomologische 
Monatschrift, p. 131, the following notice by Dr. Eossler, of Wiesbaden : 
" Gelechia triannulella, H.-S., fig. 458.— The late Vigelius first 
found this moth in his garden, which lies on the southern slope of the 
pleasure grounds here. He beat it in early spring from some low box- 
bordering. I met with it quite fresh and in first-rate condition on a 
grass plat in the town on 6th of April, and amongst grass in the 
Salzthal. At the end of June, 1862, I was in a stone quarry, which 
had a very warm aspect towards the south, and there, on some bushes 
of " Acherioinde'" {Convolvulus arvensis), I found a leaf which was 
turned down at the margin (just as the larva of Hypsolophus quadri- 
nellus treats the leaves of Origanum vulgare), and fastened by some 
threads, and being eaten, appeared to be the abode of a larva. On 
closer investigation, a larva endeavoured to make its escape by running 
rapidly backwards, which in form and markings reminded one forcibly 
of the larva of Gelechia terrella, so beautifully figured by Fischer von 
Roslerstamm. It was attenuated at each end, especially at the three
