CARL VON HEYDEN. 15 



apex of tlie wing than in /. vetulella, is a yellowish-white, tri- 

 angular spot, attenuated above, which in one specimen 

 reaches half across the wing, in the other only one-third. 

 The cilia are of the same colour. The posterior wings are 

 a little paler. 



The underside is grey, with a yellowish gloss, the spot 

 shines through faintly. 



I received two $ specimens of this moth from Herr Dor- 

 finger, of Sellmannsdorf, near Vienna, amongst other unde- 

 termined species from that locality. (1861.) 



Nemophora pilulella, Hb., Hcyden (E. Z. 1862, 

 p. 173). The case is of an elongate oval foi-m, often rather 

 broader posteriorly, with the ends sharp-pointed, slightly 

 arched on both sides. It consists of 4 or 5 crescent-shaped 

 pieces of brown leaves fastened together, generally taken 

 from dry bilberry leaves. The individual pieces of leaf are 

 usually alternately pale and dark-coloured, so that the case 

 has thereby a rather variegated appearance. 



I found a number of cases in the middle of May on the 

 Feldberg, in the Taunus mountains in fir woods. They 

 were always under loose stones, and under the fir trees in 

 their vicinity were iew other plants except bilberry. Several 

 larvae were still crawling al)out in their cases. 



The moths appeared at the beginning of June, the half of 

 the thin yellowish pupa skin remaining protruding from the 

 case. (1*861.) 



Adela Ochsenheimerella, Hb. Heyden (E. Z. 1862, 

 p. 174). I found the cases at the same time and place with 

 those of Pilulella. They were not distinguishable from 

 them, but the moths appeared as early as the end of May.
