less, clothed with isolated short hairs, yellowish, with traces 

 of five faint longitudinal stripes, of which the central one is 

 the most distinct and formed of separate spots. Head 

 short, heart-shaped, narrower than the second segment, 

 shining black-brown, with an angulated pale line pointing 

 backwards. The second segment is rather narrower than 

 the third, shining, divided by a white longitudinal line, its 

 hinder margin is brown on both sides; the anal segment is 

 somewhat depressed. Legs annulated with dark. 



The pupa is elongate-oval, thick, smooth, shining, brown- 

 ish-yellow. Head blunt, projecting beneath rather like a 

 knob. The sheaths of equal length, only with their tips 

 rather projecting, leaving four segments free. The penulti- 

 mate segment is long, attenuated posteriorly ; the terminal 

 segment small, short, heart-shaped, terminating in a point. 



I found the larvae at the end of August and beginning 

 of September in the Hollenthal, in the Black Forest, in the 

 umbels of Heracleum sphondylium, the seeds of which it 

 spins together with a slight web. It is sluggish, and feeds 

 on the seeds into which it bores. In the first half of Sep- 

 tember it forms a slight cocoon in its dwelling, and assumes 

 the pupa state; the pupa is also rather sluggish. 



The perfect insect makes its appearance in the second half 

 of June in the following year. 



(Ecophora devotella is allied to Flaviguttella, F. v. R., 

 but the last-named is generally rather larger, and besides the 

 reddish-yellow spots on the anterior wings, their ground 

 colour is as dark as that of the posterior wings. (1862.)
