LHhocolJetls Insignitella. ** On the 28th July I found 

 near Mombach a leaf of Ononis Spinom, mined by a Litho- 

 colletis larva. A few days ago the imago made its appear- 

 ance, and is very nearly allied to Insignitella^ if indeed it be 

 not the same species" (A. S., 6, 8, 61). 



I believe Mr. AUis has British specimens of this insect ; its 

 habitual food is clover. 



Lithocollefis Torminella. Mr. M'Lachlan has bred spe- 

 cimens of this species from larvae found in the leaves of a 

 Morella cherry tree in a garden at Exeter (Zool. p. 7801). 



LithocoUetis Vacciniella. *' I took a few specimens of this 

 insect on the Carinthian Alps, and enclose you a leaf mined 

 by the larva" (P. C. Z., 8, 8, 61). 



Lithocolletis Comparella. Mr. Scott has again met with 

 the larva of this species at Lee, mining the underside of the 

 leaves of Populus alba. 



Cemiostoma Wailesella. I met with several of these 

 larvae at Dresden, and watched the gradual development of 

 the mines ; they commence with a spiral mine, which forms a 

 round blackish blotch ; then they expand into a long slender 

 gallery, and eventually form a large irregular blotch, which 

 occupies nearly the whole of one of the small leaves of the 

 Genista tinctoria. 



Cemiostoma Lotella. Dr. Jordan met with a Cemiostoma 

 liarva early in August, in the leaves of Lathyrus sylvestris at 

 Sheldon, near Teignmouth. These appeared to me referable 

 to C. Lotella, but they may prove distinct. 



Bucculatrix Boyerella. " It is yet a few weeks too soon 

 for the larvae of B. Boyerella'' (A. S., 6, 8, 61). 



" Early this morning we started in search of the larvae of 

 B. Boyerella, though the weather was very unfavourable — 

 indeed we experienced rather a violent storm. Professor 

 Frey and I together only obtained seven larvae. The
