 mar perhaps find it more freelr. 



Cosm'jpteri/x orichalcea J ^tainton (Ent. Ann. lS61,p.90). 

 ^^everal sptHrimens of this insect have been taken near Stettin 

 by Dr. Schleich, and in the precise locality where he found 

 the perfect insects he discovered in August a Cosmopteryx 

 larva mining the leaves of Festuca arundinacea, very similar 

 both in habits and appearance to the Cosmopteryx larva 

 found by Herr Hofmann near Ratisbon, mining the leaves 

 of Sierochloe australis. 



Cosmopteryx Lienigiella, Zeller. Dr. Schleich met with 

 two specimens of this lovely insect on the 16th of June and 

 :23rd of July (^both equally fine) in another locality near 

 Stettin, amongst Calamagrostis Epigejos. They were flying 

 slowly and stead ly (cot jerking), about 7 p.m. 



* LuhocolUtis SubenfoUella, KoUar , Zeller, Ent. Zeitung, 

 ISoO, p. 208). On the •28th of March, whilst at Xaples, I 

 visited the park of Capo di Monte and there I collected 

 ZithocoUetis mines in several evergreen oaks ; from one of 

 these mines I bred a specimen of Litkocolletis SuberifoUella. 

 Herr Mann says he bred it from Quercus Suber. Unfortu- 

 nately I had leaves of several species of Quercus mixed 

 together, and c-annot say with certainty which leaf produced 

 the moth. 



*Lithocolletk Leucographella, KoUar (Zeller, Ent, Zeit. 

 1850, p. 207). This was one of the new species discovered 

 by the industrious Herr Joseph Mann in Tuscany, in 1846. 

 Herr Mann remarks of it : — " Some specimens taken on the 

 wing April 24th, near Montenero. I found the larvae and 

 pupae on a shrub, which looked like privet, only that it had 

 long thorns."
