134 LEPIDOPTERA. 



mainder of its larval existence ; afterwards it spins a brown ! 

 cocoon, like O. guttea. The larva occurs at the beginning ■ 

 and middle of July, and I bred the perfect insect early in 

 August." I 



Ornix Sciitulotella. Professor Frey has bred this from | 

 larvae found towards the end of June and the beo^innino* of 

 July on Betula torfacea in swampy places (Int. x. p. 164). 



^ Ornix Fagivora, Frey (Int. x. p. 60). This is the De- i 

 voniella, Frey (Tineen u. Pteroph. der Schweiz, p. 252), but 

 not the Devomella, Stainton. 



The larva turns down the edge of the leaves of beech. 



Larvae probably referable to this species have occurred in 

 various parts of England, but 1 have seen no British ex- 

 amples of the imago. ** The perfect insect is easily recog- • 

 nized by the ochreous inner margin of the anterior wings." 



^Coleophora Gallipennella. " On the 15th of August we ; 

 found some Coleophora larvae feeiling on the green-seeds of | 

 Astragalus Glycyphyllus. Dr. Herrich-Schaffer believes 

 that these are the larvae of Coleophora Gallipennella of \ 

 Hiibner and Zeller, as he has taken that species amongst the 1 

 Astragalus'' (F. H., 18, 8, 61). \ 



The cases of these larvae are extremely similar to the cases i 

 of Coleoj)hora Coronillce, to which C. Gallipennella is closely ; 

 allied. \ 



* Coleophora muscnleUa. In May last I received larvae j 

 of this insect from Herr Miihlig, of Frankfort-on-the-Main ; ] 

 they were feeding on the leaves of Dianthus superbus. The i 

 case is something like that of Saponariella, but smaller; it ■ 

 is grey-brown, with black stripes longitudinally ; the perfect 

 insect is also allied to Saponariella. \ 



Coleophora albicans. *' During the Michaelmas holidays | 

 I found, along a sandy road near here, a multitude of the 

 larvae of Coleophora albicans, Stainton, on the Artemisia .
