108 LEPIDOPTERA. 



these larvae will prove to be N. cupriaccllus or X. lliiii- 

 mellus remains to be seen. 



Hyponomeuta viglntipunciatus (I. B., p. 59). This 

 insect has occurred at Witham in Essex (Int. viii. p. 115), 

 and in Sussex (Int. viii. p. 179). 



Excerctia AUiseUa (I. B., p. 82). In May last I received 

 some larvae from Mr. Gregson which were reputed to be 

 this species, and subsequently I bred a specimen from them, 

 which proved the correctness of tlie conjecture. The larva 

 bores in the stem of the Mugwort {Artemisia vulgaris). 

 Mr. Cooper found it on the 2nd of May : observing one of 

 the young shoots of the Artemisia in quite a drooping state, 

 he suspected the cause, took out his knife, cut the stem and 

 the small bore off, and soon discovered the larvae. A week 

 later the damaged shoots were completely hid by their more 

 vigorous fellows, and no one could have found them from 

 any visible evidence of the plant without being told (Int. 

 viii. p. 118, and Zoologist, 7154). 



Depressaria Bijmnctosa (Ent. Ann. 1858, p. 89). Mr. 

 M^Lachlan visited the Isle of Wight in the month of 

 August, and obtained several specimens of this insect, which 

 he exhibited at the September Meeting of the Entomological 

 Society of London (Zoologist, 7222). Herr Lederer, of 

 Vienna, is reported to have bred this insect (Int. viii. p. 156). 



Depressai'ia Granulosella (I. B., p. 94). In some very 

 interesting remarks " On the 3Iicro-Lepidoptera of which 

 he Transformations are unknown," by Mr. C. Miller 

 (Zoologist, pp. 7005—7012), we read respecting D. Gra- 

 nulosella, " I once bred a specimen of this from larvae col- 

 lected in July, at Deal, from a dwarf umbelliferous flower." 



Depressaria Ultimellu (I. B., p. 98). Of this insect, 

 Mr. Gorham has remarked, in the Zoologist (p. 6905), '* I 

 bred a specimen early in June from a larva found feeding
