CARL VON HEYDEN. 35 



larva at Freiburg. Herr Anton Sciimid and I had pre- 

 viously met with the imago in the same locality, also at 

 Offenbach and Enkheim. Myllerana is an error in vi^riting 

 in Fabricius, as he named the insect after O. F. Miiller. 



EuDOREA CRATiEGELLA, Hiibner, Heyden (E. Z. 1865, 

 p. 376). I found the larva at the beginning of April, 1858, 

 at Jugenheim, in the wood under moss on trees, where it 

 inhabited a slight tubular web. It changes to the pupa state 

 in a thin white cocoon, and the imago appeared in the middle 

 of June. (1858.) 



Nephopteryx similella, Zincken, Heyden (E. Z. 

 1860, p. 116). I found the larva in the Frankfort wood at 

 the beginning of July, another time at the beginning of 

 August, on oaks in an irregular web amongst leaves. It 

 occurs in small societies and is tolerably active. In the web 

 it changes to the pupa state in a small, oval, flat white 

 cocoon, into which its excrement is interwoven. The imago 

 makes its appearance in the middle of May of the following 

 year. Formerly I distributed specimens as Myelois con- 

 diynella — not Contiguellay as stated by Herrich-Schaffer. 

 (1832.) 



Myelois cruentella, Duponchel (non H.-S.), Heyden 

 (E. Z. 1865, p. 376). I have lately received this beautiful 

 species fi-om Count C. Hoffmansegg, who, on the occasion 

 of the Entomological excursion to Spain in the present year, 

 took several specimens in Granada. This species finds no 

 place in Herrich-Schaffer's great work, nor in Staudino-er 

 and Wocke's Catalogue, although it has been well described 

 and figured by Duponchel as Ilythia cruentella (Suppl. 

 vol. 4, p. 365, pi. 79, fig. 5). It is evidently allied to
