NEW ENIGMAS FOR SOLUTION. 



70. A Solenobia larva, collected by Mr. Edleston in 

 January on beech trees at Dunham Park (Int. v. p. 147). 

 " These larvae take two years to arrive at perfection." The 

 right determination of all the apparent species in the genus 

 Solenobia is a matter of no ordinary difficulty. 



71. A brown Gelechial larva, found by Mr. Scott, at the 

 beginning of August, feeding in the heads of Statice ar- 

 meria. 



72. A greyish-white CEcophora! larva, found by Mr. 

 Boyd, burrowing in the bark of apple trees, at the beginning 

 of May ; it constructs a gallery of " frass." 



73. A brown CEcophora ? larva, with interrupted yel- 

 lowish-ochreous dorsal and subdorsal lines, feeding in de- 

 cayed bark of oak, was found near Brussels by M. Fologne 

 at the beginning of May. The individual specimen, which 

 was figured, died; M. Fologne subsequently obtained another, 

 from which he bred CEcophora umtella, but there is some- 

 thing unintelligible about this, for Mr. Wing bred that species 

 from a very different larva. 



74. A Coleophora larva, feeding on the seeds of Mel Hot us 

 officinalis, found by Mr. Scott, early in August, near Stock- 

 ton, and subsequently found by Herr Miihlig near Frankfort. 

 The case is made of the seed husk : at first only a single seed 

 is used, then two are clumsily attached together, ultimately 

 they are so blended as to form a symmetrical, cylindrical case.
