IN UPPER CAHNIOLA IN 1854. 113 



G. lacertetta, F. v. K. Taken in a " Podere " at Oberfeld, in the after- 

 noon, the middle of May. 



G. ononidis, Z. June, several at Gradischa on Ononis spinosa. 

 G. Kollariellaj F. v. R. June, amongst ash trees at Sturia. 



Coriscium alaudellum, D. One female, taken the beginning of May 



at Wippach on a privet hedge. 



Ornix torquillella, Z. June, at Oberfeld, on hawthorn hedges. 

 0. ampliatella, mihi. In the middle of May, amongst maple bushes, 



at Gradischa and Lokavitz. (See p. 104.) 



0. caudulatella, Z. One male, found on a wall in June at Gradischa. 

 This species is very scarce; hitherto I have only taken single 

 examples on our Prater. 



Cosmopteryx Groldeggietta, F. v. R. (argyrogrammos, Z.). Singly, flying 

 in the evening in June in pastures at Oberfeld. I also found this 

 species in Tuscany, Dalmatia, and Fiume, and most plentifully at 

 Brussa in Asia Minor ; always on pastures and slopes. 



Elachista pontificella, H. June, distributed throughout the entire 

 valley, most frequently in pastures, slopes, and " Poderen." 



E. dentosella, F. v. E. Several taken in the evening in the middle of 

 May, in a grassy place in the old castle of Wippach. Hitherto I 

 had only found this species near Vienna, on the Laaerberg, in the 

 royal mews, where it flies quite low on grassy places at sunset, 

 and then copulation takes place. 



E. miscella, H. May, at Gradischa, Oberfeld, Hanonia, and at 

 Platscha, on slopes. 



E. ictella, H. In the middle of May, on the slopes of the Nanos 

 above Gradischa, at Wippach, Haidenschaft, and Heiligenkreuz, 

 flying in the evening before sunset on grassy slopes and in 

 " Poderen." 



E. pomposella, F. v. B. In the middle of June, at Gradischa, several 

 taken amongst grass on the slopes of the Nanos before noon ; it 

 runs up to the top of the grass, vibrates its wings for some time, 

 then flies a little further and repeats the process. At Fiume I 

 observed copulation both before and after noon; there it flew 

 amongst Salvia officinalis, 



E. albiapieella, F. v. K. From the beginning to the end of May, flying 

 amongst Globularia on pastures and slopes in the neighbourhood 

 of Wippach ; they creep deep into the Globularia blossoms, espe- 

 cially the female, so that only the end of its body remains visible ; 

 in this position they await the male, and then copulation takes 

 place. 



E. modestella, D. In the middle of May at the foot of the Nanos 

 under bushes in the flowers of Stellaria holostea, into which they 

 also quite penetrate, and then copulation takes place. 



E. magnificella, mihi. June, on the slopes of the Nanos, before noon, 

 amongst ash trees.
