PARIS VTEWED LEPIDOPTEROLOGICALLY. 153 



male has them sparingly clothed with long hairs, and the 

 female has them utterly naked ; the posterior wings are very 

 different in form from those of S. jjedella, being far broader, 

 and coming rather suddenly to a point, more after the style of 

 Gelechia subocellea. 



The dark veins intersecting the pale blotch beyond the 

 anterior wings give it a superficial resemblance with S. pe- 

 della, and on that account, till something more is known of 

 the insect, I prefer referring it doubtfully to that genus. 



Colonel Goureau also occupies himself with the education 

 of larvae of small Lepidoptera, and annually adds to his 

 note book the histories of two or three with which he was 

 previously unacquainted. His investigations extend also to 

 their parasites, and to the gall-making Diptera and dial- 

 cididce. 



We have repeatedly sought in Paris for a Micro-Juepi- 

 dopterist; but our search has hitherto been unsuccessful. 

 "We have, of course, expectations that those who have such 

 rich Collections of Macro-Lepidoptera as M. Bellier and 

 M. Berce will before long turn their attentions to the Micros. 



Should other Lepidopterists in Paris wish to make our 

 acquaintance, or should any unknown Micro- Lepidopterists 

 exist there, we shall be very glad indeed to hear from them.
