Hyponomeuta egregiellus, Duponchel. I collected the larva of 

 this very freely at Cannes on Erica scoparia. I may mention here 

 that M. Berce met with the insect at Fontainebleau in 1857, and 

 that when visiting the forest there with him on the 1st April 1867 we 

 found the larvse of this species extremely plentiful on Erica cinerea. 

 (See Ent. Annual, 1868, p. 135.) 



Prays oleellus, Boyer. The small larvae were abundant as usual, 

 but the more adult larvae were not as forward as in the previous 

 season. Some that T brought home seemed likely to perish for want 

 of food ; so I offered them young shoots of privet, on which they fed 

 up. Two specimens of the imago were reared May 1st and 3rd 

 from the larvae which had developed on privet. 



Depressaria rutana, Fabricius. (See ante, p. 61, D. retiferella.} 

 On the llth March I visited with M. Milliere the He Ste. -Margue- 

 rite near Cannes, where he expected we should find the larvae of this 

 species in tolerable plenty ; however, though the Ruta angustifolia 

 grew in great profusion, and though we spent some time in hunting 

 amongst and beating this plant, we only obtained a single larva of 

 this interesting species. 



On the 14th of March, at Mentone, I found one small larva of I). 

 rutana on the rocky slope above Pont St. Louis. 



On the 21st of March I visited Monaco, and in the gardens of 

 the promontory there I found several plants of Ruta angustifolia 

 which were attacked by these larvae, of which I collected between 

 twenty and thirty ; from these I succeeded in rearing a dozen speci- 

 mens of the imago, which appeared from May 4th to May 16th. 



The larva rolls up tubularly a small portion of a leaf of Ruta, just 

 as the larvae of applana treat the Umbelliferae, and those of arenella 

 the Compositaj ; and its habitations are easily recognized by the ex- 

 perienced eye, even if the larva has quitted the plant.
