Salsola oppositifolia, 27. IV, excl. 19. Y - 2. VI. 1907 (Wlsm.), 

 ($ A triplex parvifolius, 10. V, excl. 3. VI. 1907 (Wlsm.). 



When describing fasciatella, Ragoiiot states that he took and 

 bred several specimens, but omits to mention the food-plant. 

 I found this species on the wing, and the larva feeding among 

 shoots of Salsola oppositifolia, and on Atriplex parvifolius in 

 a slight web, in April and May ; the moths emerged in May and 

 June. This is the species wrongly identified by Rebel as 

 " Blastobasis roscidella Z.", which, apart from the generic differ- 

 ences, it does not greatly resemble. I fear the specimen I sent 

 him must have been a very poor one. The type of Blastobasis 

 roscidella is in the Zeller Collection, and I have also a Cotype of 

 Butalis fasciatella received from the late M. E. Ragonot.
