anterior segments (spindle-shaped), broad and flat in the middle. The 
ground colour of a rich blackish red-brown, with whitish markings. 
The anterior half of the body with the belly and back red-brown, the 
incisions of the joints white, also the rings round the belly, the two 
first of which appear as collars. The posterior half of the body, viz., 
the seven last segments, have the back red-brown, without any such 
rings, but with a whitish dorsal stripe and the sides are white, on which, 
beginning each time between the legs and directed anteriorly, are four 
stouter and one fainter oblique streaks of the dark ground colour. The 
belly of the anterior half of the body is red-brown, of the posterior 
half whitish. Head small, dark brown ; legs of the colour of the 
adjoining part of the body. 
" The change to the pupa state took place within the abode of the 
larva, and the imago appeared eight days afterwards. 
" Probably, from what has been mentioned above, there are two 
broods in the year, and the other brood passes the winter in the pupa 
state." 
The new part of the Stettin Entomologische Zeitung, 18G6, 7-9 
(received here yesterday), contains a very interesting notice by Dr. 
Steudel, of Kochendorf (p. 312), headed — 
Gelechia sepiella, n. sp. 
" The writer bred last summer, from a larva feeding on Convolvulus 
sepiiom, a Gelechia, which he was unable to 'determine. It wandered, 
therefore, along with other Micro-Lepidoptera, in the autumn to 
Frankfort for determination by Herr von Heyden, who, with his usual 
goodness, determined my Micro- Lepidoptera, incited me to a scientific 
occupation with this group, and freely gave me of the riches of his 
collection. Eight days before his death, so painfully felt by surviving 
entomologists, I received back the Gelechia in question with the notice, 
that neither the Frankfort entomologists, nor Professor Prey, of Ziu-ich, 
to whom he had sent the insect, knew it, and that the latter pronounced 
it to be a new species, which, probably on account of the neuration of 
the wings, ought to be arranged near Gelechia ritfescens. I give, therefore, 
a description of the insect and its larva, and observe that I bred three 
specimens, one of which was spoilt in setting, and that none of them 
shewed any essential difierences in colour, marking, or size.
