140 SPECIES COLLECTED BY DR. STAUDINGER 



found no traces in the box ; the Gelechia no. 4 I bred, and it proved 

 to be Gelechia cytisella.} 



(Dr. Staudinger wrote to me in the following March from 

 Dresden : " I have not yet obtained much from my pupae from 

 Celles-les-bains. The Nepticula on Pistacia and Khus is, as you 

 rightly suspected, one species, very small, dull black with a whitish 

 fascia. I proposed to call it Nepticula promissa, because I dis- 

 covered it on the anniversary of my betrothal. The Cemiostoma 

 from the Cytisus does not appear to be distinct from laburnella ; 

 but, on the other hand, the Lithocolletis from the Cytisus appears to 

 to be new ; unfortunately I only bred two, the others were all 

 ichneumoned." 



In a subsequent letter he informed me that he had bred Tpsolophus 

 corsicellus from the capsules of Cistus, collected at Celles-les-bains.) 



" Dresden, August 29th, 1868. 



" I found by the Lake of Como a Lithocolletis in the leaves of 

 Platanus, extremely numerous ; these I have bred since I returned 

 home ; they are of a beautiful yellow with golden markings, and I 

 consider them new, and propose to call the species platanella. Or 

 do you know any Lithocolletis on Platanus'l I even found one leaf 

 which contained fifty -four mines ! "
