CARL VON HEYDEN. "23 



Gelechta Anthyllidella, Hb., Heyden (E. Z. 1861, 

 p. 36). I first found the larvae in the middle of October, 

 on the slopes behind Offenbach, mining the leaves of 

 Anthyllh vulneraria. The mine forms a greenish-white 

 irregular blotch on the upper side of the leaf, generally near 

 the leaf-stalk. When the larva becomes older it draws the 

 leaf upwards near the leaf-stalk, into a pod-like form ; the 

 smaller leaves are doubled over to the tip and then appear 

 inflated. Some of the larvae quit their mines before winter, 

 whilst others pass the winter in the evergreen leaves. The 

 larva constructs a narrow, elongate, thin, pale-grey cocoon 

 outside the leaves, and changes in it to the pupa state in 

 April. The imago is developed in the middle of May. 

 Doubtless there is a second brood. I have also found the 

 larvae abundantly at Jugenheim in the Odenw^ald. (1855.) 



Gelechia Brizella, Treitschke, Heyden (E. Z. 1860, 

 p. 120). The sluggish larva is found in June and the begin- 

 ning of July in the flower heads of Statice armeriay of which 

 it eats the unripe seeds. One often finds several larvae in one 

 flower head ; in this neighbourhood we find the larva where- 

 ever the plant occurs. In the larval abode it spins a slight 

 cocoon and then assumes the pupa state; towards the end of 

 July and in August the imago is produced. 



In the autumn we find the larvae of the second brood, 

 from which the moths are developed in the May of the fol- 

 lowing year. (1827.) 



Ypsolophus Schmidiellus, Koch, Heyden (E. Z. 

 1865, p. 380). This occurs throughout June about Frank- 

 fort, between spun-up leaves of Orifjanum vulgare and
