BOTANICAL SUMMARY. 361 



p. 62, frequented in May by the imago of Qelechia tamaricella ; 

 p. 63, by the imago of Gelechia paupella ; p. 67, by the imago of 

 Batrachedra Ledereriella ; p. 70, the by imago of Lithocolletis sub- 

 erifolietta ; and, p. 116, by the imago of Micropteryx calthella. 



My attention has lately been called by Mr. Albert Miiller to a 

 paper by Herr Frauenfeld, " Ueber exotischen Pflanzenauswiichse 

 erzeugt von Insecten," in the * Verhandl. der zool.-botan. Gesell- 

 schaft in Wien ' for 1859, pp. 319-332, in which a number of 

 galls on several species of Tamarix from Egypt and the peninsula 

 of Sinai are mentioned, from one of which a new Gelechia was 

 bred allied to salinella, Z., which Frauenfeld describes under the 

 name of Gelechia sinaica. Possibly galls on Tamarix would furnish 

 us with the larva of Batrachedra Ledereriella ; at any rate I throw 

 out the suggestion. 



CKASSULACE^:. 

 Sedum album, p. 258 : food of larva of Butalis scopolella. 



Sedum (telepTiium\ p. 94 : frequented by Hyponomeuta vigintipunc- 

 tatus. The larva is well known to feed on that plant. 



Daucus, p. 232: a .Bwtafos-larva in the dry head of a species of 

 Daucus in April. 



Thapsia yarganica, p. 6 : the young leaves much eaten in March by 

 the larvae of Depressaria thapsiella. 



--- , pp. 7, 128 : the unexpanded umbels (still within their 

 sheaths) are attacked in April by numerous colonies of the larvae 

 of Depressaria veneficella ; the tenanted stems may also be col- 

 lected in June. Some caution is necessary in handling this plant 

 if we wish to avoid unpleasant consequences (see p. 8). 



Ferula communis (nodiflora), pp. 7, 176 : larvae of Depressaria ferulae 

 on the leaves of this plant in March and April. The young larvae 

 attack the base of the plant, where they cause a resin-like exuda- 

 tion (see p. 177). 



, p. 177 : leaves in April eaten by the larvae of Depressaria 

 feruliphila. 



-, pp. 175 & 218 : leaves in March and April eaten by the 



larvas of Depressaria nodiflorella : the very young larvae actually 

 mine the slender leaflets. 



Ferula (no species named, but spoken of as " fine-leaved "), pp. 140, 

 146 : fed on by the larva of Depressaria velooc. 



Pimpinella ?, p. 109 : larvae of D. ferulce? abundant on this plant in 

 May. 



Cachrys Iceviyata, pp. 140, 146 : eaten by the larvae of Depressaria 

 cachritis in February and March.
