GKNERAL OHSKKVATIONS ON THE GENUS LAVERNA. 



this rremis, liad i)i-evioiit^ly been 

 located with IsahvlhUa and ot]>er 

 beautiful species in the genus Stag- 

 matophora, a position Avhieh I am 

 disposed to tliink it had better still 

 retain. 



A notice of the habits of the larva 

 of Raschkiella fiom the pen of 

 M. Leon Becker, accompanied by 

 a figure of the larva and Epilobiiim 

 leaf mined by it, appeared in 1861 in 

 the 5th volume of the " Annales do 

 la Societe Entomologique Beige." 

 A critical notice on the differences 

 between the two allied species, 

 LavernafestiveUa and Laspeyrella, 

 from the pen of Baron v. Nolcken, 

 has just appeai'ed in the " Stettin. 

 Entom. Zeitung" for 1869, pp. 284 

 —287. 



In May, 1860, the late Dr. 

 Brackenridge Clemens described in 

 the " Proceedings of the Academy 

 of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia," 

 pp. 170, 171, two American species 

 of Larerna, under the names Lnci- 

 ferella and Eloisella; these insects 

 I have never seen, and, feeling un- 

 certain which species they most 

 nearly resemble, I have thought it 

 best to exclude them from the list 

 of species. In the 2nd volume of 

 the "Proceedings of the Entomo- 

 logical Society of Philadelphia," 

 p. 418, the same author founded a 

 new genus Walshia, " apparently 

 related to the genoia T.averna and 

 Chrysoclista, and ])artaking of the 

 characters of each of them," for the 

 reception of a species, Amnrphrlln.

 Doliriiii, etait auparavant ])lacL'e on 

 compagnie avec VIsabcUclla ct 

 quelques aiitres jolies especes dans 

 le genre Stagmatophora, position 

 qui, a mon idee, lui convient le 

 mieux. 



Une notice des nifcurs de la 

 chenille de la Raschkiella j)ai- ]\I. 

 Leon Becker, accompagnee d'une 

 figure de la chenille et de la feuille 

 d'Epi/obium mince par elle, a paru 

 dans le oeme volume des " Annales 

 de la Societe Entomologique Beige." 

 Et tout dernierement une notice cri- 

 tique sur les deux especes voisines, 

 Laverna festivella et Laspeyrella, 

 par M. le Baron von Nolcken, vient 

 de paraitre dans la "Stettin. Ento- 

 mol. Zeitung," 1869, pp. 284 - 287. 



En May 1860 le feu Dr. Bracken- 

 ridge Clemens a decrit dans les 

 " Proceedings of the Academy of 

 Natural Sciences of Philadeli^hia," 

 pp. 170, 171, deux especes Ameri- 

 caines du genre Laverna, sous les 

 noms de Lticijerclla et Eloisella ; 

 je n'ai jamais vu ces especes, et, ne 

 sachant pas bien a quelles especes 

 elles i-essemblent le plus, je ne les 

 ai pas introduites dans la liste des 

 especes. Dans le deuxieme volume 

 des "Proceedings of the Entomolo- 

 gical vSociety of Philadelphia," ]>. 

 418, le meme auteur a constitue le 

 genre Walshia, "qui parait voisiu 

 des genres Laverna et Chrysoclista 

 et possede quelques caracteres de 

 chacun de ces deux genres," et il y 

 rnpporto une espece, Amnrphrlla.
