Zeller states Hiibner's carduella to be a variety of this species ; 

 now in this country laterella has not yet occurred, whereas a 

 number of specimens of an insect which agrees well with Hiibner's 

 figure of carduella have been taken at different times : our car- 

 duella may not be the carduella of Zeller, but is decidedly the 

 carduella of Hiibner, and I should think a very distinct species. 



The larva of /rt^ere^/a feeds, according to Tischer (seeTreitschke), 

 on Centaiirea cyanus, in May and June, and the moth appears in 

 July. Tischer adds : " Carduella is a variety, since I bred from 

 these larvae two specimens which perfectly agree with Hiibner's 

 figure, N. 439." 



This species is not uncommon on the continent, and will pro- 

 bably soon be detected in this country. 



Sp. 19. Carduella, Hub. 439., St. 



Not a common species, but widely distributed. Most of the 

 specimens that have occurred have been in July and August, and 

 several of them at sugar. Mr. Wing took a specimen at sugar, 

 on the Dartford Heath fence, in September.

 Signella, Hiib. 80. 

 Signosa, Haw. 



This species frequents sallows, on which the larva feeds in July ; 

 the moth appears towards the end of August, and re-appears in 

 the spring. Many of the spring specimens are very fine, and have 

 no appearance of having hybernated ; probably some pass the 

 winter in the pupa state.
