Kob.-Desv. In ail probahility it will be fouiid commoii wherever its 

 widely distributed food-plant grows. My dates extend from Marth 

 to June. In central and Southern Europe this species is known to 

 breed in différent species of Centaurea, such as jaceae, paniciilata, 

 nigra etc. V. quadrifasciata has also lately been recorded from 

 Spain (Catalouia) by Codina. 



Lately I hâve bred U. quadrifasciata from the capitulum of 

 Centaurea pallescens collected at Kerdacé (3. V. 1924). Three spéci- 

 mens, 1 d* and 2 $ ? emerged on 10. V. 1924.
