IN TUSCANY IN 1846. 61 



[Described by Zeller, see p. 78.] From the 20th to the 30th of 

 April at Salviano, after sunset, on an evergreen hedge ; scarce. 



97. Hyponomeuta plumbellus, S. V. In the middle of June at 

 Pratovecchio, on Euonymus ; common. 



98. H. irrorellus, Hb. Along with the preceding, sometimes, on 

 the trunks of trees. 



99. -fff. Evonymi, Z. In May around Legorn ; not scarce. 



] 00. H. variabilis, Z. In May at Pisa, on wild cherry-trees, several 

 times. 



101. "fPsecadia seocpunctella, Hb. At Montenero, in the middle of 

 May, three times. 



102. fP. echiella, S. V. In the beginning of May at Leghorn, on 

 a wall. 



103. P. funerella, F. At the end of April at Montenero, in the 

 evening, in leaf-woods ; scarce. 



104. *P. aurifluella, Hb. From the 21st to the 29th of May I 

 took at Ardenza and on the highest mountains of Montenero 

 nearly 60 specimens ; it sits on the large thistle -heads in pasture - 

 fields, flies slowly in the noonday heat, and also copulates about 

 the same time. 



105. Depressaria depunctella, Hb. In June at Pratovecchio and 

 Poppi, beaten from young oaks. 



106. *D. liturella, S. V. In June at Badia, on young oaks ; not scarce. 



107. D. pallorella, Z. In the middle of May at Leghorn, beaten 

 from hedges in the evening ; very scarce. 



108. *^D. assimilella, Tr. In the middle of May at Leghorn, in 

 hedges ; not scarce ; of a yellower grey than near Vienna. (The 

 specimen sent me is rather small, but in colour resembles most of 

 those of this country, and is thus much darker than my Neapo- 

 litan specimen). 



109. D. atomella, S. V. In the middle of May at Ardenza, in 

 pasture-fields in the evening ; scarce. 



110. D. retiferella, Koll. in lit. On the 26th of May I beat two 

 specimens from Tamarioc at the sea-gate of Leghorn ; it differs 

 from all other Depressarice by the whitish reticulation of the 

 brownish anterior wings. [Zeller in 1850 did not recognize this 

 as a species distinct from atomella, but in 1854, in the 9th volume 

 of the ' Linnaea Entomologica,' he admits its claim to specific rank. 

 Zeller was in possession of a specimen from Sicily, not, however, 

 captured by himself. This insect is the now well-known Rutana 

 of Fabricius.] 



111. D. arenella, S. V. At the end of March at Pratovecchio, 

 beaten from oaks. 



112. D. vaccinella, Hb. At the end of March at Pratovecchio, on 

 bramble bushes, not very scarce ; in April and May individual 

 fresh specimens at Leghorn.
