From a willow-bed in Vangede Fen, where the young 
branches are cut each winter for basket-making; the old 
stumps of the branches in which the pith has dried up 
form a hiding place for several larvas. In order if pos- 
sible to breed some of these larvas, about 1100 of these 
old stumps were collected in April 1904, which were 
placed in glasses. From the shoots were bred six speci- 
mens of this species !!/,—1/,, and from shoots collected 
in June 1905 one specimen was reared °/,. Host quite 
unknown.
