CHAPTER Y. 



REV. HENRY BURNEY AND OTHERS. 



THE present chapter contains a brief notice of the doings of four 

 entomologists in Southern Europe. 



I. The Rev. Henry Burney, who resided at Mentone from November 

 1864 to April 1865. 



II. Professor Rosenhauer visited Andalusia in 1849, and published 

 the results of his journey seven' years afterwards, ' Die Thiere 

 Andalusiens ; ' unfortunately the Tineina noticed are few in 

 number, and of little interest. 



III. Count von Hoffmannsegg's visit to Andalusia in 1865, the 

 results of which are recorded by Herr Moschler in the ' Berliner 

 ent. Zeitschrift' for 1866. 



IY. Herr Erber s visit to Dalmatia and the Island of Syra (in the 

 Grecian archipelago) in 1867, the results of which have been 

 noticed by Herr Mann in the ' Yerhandlungen des zoologisch- 

 botanischen Gesellschaft in Wien ' for 1867. 



V. And, lastly, to complete this chapter, I have added the notice of 

 the few Sicilian Tineina received by Dr. J. Delaharpe, of Lausanne, 

 in 1858, and noticed by him in the 6th volume of the ' Bulletin de 

 la Societe Vaudoise des Sciences Naturelles ; ' they were collected 

 by Signer D. Reyna of Palermo. 



SECTION I. 



Species collected by the Rev. Henry Burney during his residence at 

 Mentone from November 1864 to April 1865. 



The Rev. Henry Burney has very liberally given me all the insects 

 he collected during his sojourn at Mentone, whither he had repaired 

 on account of the failing health of a member of his family. I neces- 

 sarily confine my attention here to the few species of Tineina which 

 he then obtained ; but as his collection included several bred speci- 

 mens of Noctuce, Geometrce, Tortrices, &c., it may be interesting to 

 those who work at other groups of Lepidoptera to examine the 

 collection, which I shall have much pleasure in showing to any one 

 who wishes to see it. 



The list of the Tineina is as follows : 



Plutella cruciferarum, Z. A female taken in the garden in December. 

 Prays oleellus, Boyer. Several bred from the shoots of the olive ; 



the larva feeding in March, and the moths emerging from the 



pupa state in April.
