108 LEPIDOPTERA. 



certainty to Glohularice, because the larva fed not upon 

 Globularice, but rained the leaves of Centaurea jacea, and 

 because I was only acquainted with the female, I must now 

 pronounce to be most decidedly that species, after having 

 studied the Vienna Globularice through the kindness of my 

 friend, the skilful Lepidopterologist Lederer, and having made 

 further and successful investigations in this locality. On the 

 23rd of June of this year, I visited the peaty meadow 

 already mentioned, partly to collect Nemotois minimelluSy 

 which I previously knew to occur there, partly in search of 

 the At/jchia, which I had sought the previous summer in 

 vain. I accomplished both intentions. Of the Nemotois I 

 collected 40 specimens, mostly in good condition, of both sexes, 

 and amongst them one female of JVemotois violellus, the male 

 of which is still an enigma with me — all much more frequently 

 fluttering in the grass than sitting on the flowers of Chry- 

 santhemum Leucanthemu7n. Of Atychia GlohulariWf I 

 obtained a dozen fine specimens, namely, 9 $ and 3 ? ; and 

 I noticed that in spite of the fine still weather they had to be 

 started out, and after a short flight they settled again on the 

 grass or Centaurea ; thus they were rather different in their 

 habits from Atychia Statices. In the preceding year I had 

 visited the same locality on the 31st July^ and collected very 

 assiduously the Atychia which was swarming on Armeria 

 vulgarism the burning sunshine, because I expected amongst 

 them my Centaurea miner ; but they proved to be oil Atychia 

 Staiices. Hence doubtless Atychia Glohularice has there a 

 much more restricted period of flight ; since although I found 

 specimens of Atychia Statices already worn towards the end 

 of June, on the 31st July there were specimens still quite fresh, 

 and it is well known one often meets with them in August. 



I may here add an observation respecting Atychia Statices^ 

 which is easily made, but, as far as I am aware, has never
