38 IN MEMORIAM. ) 



Chrysoclista Schrankella, Hb., Heyden (E. Z* 

 1863, p. 345). I found the larva at the end of July at 

 Hippoldsau in the Black Forest on JSpilobium parvijiorum, 

 in the leaves of which it mines great blotches. I only found 

 it once, by the side of a water-course, but there were many 

 mines on one plant. It spins up on the underside of the 

 leaves in a flat, elongate, thick, white cocoon. 



The moth makes its appearance in the first half of August, 

 leaving the pupa skin inside the cocoon. (1856.) 



Staqmatophora pomposella, Zeller, Heyden (E. Z. 

 1865, p. 381). The larva may be found as early as the 

 beginning of May, mining yellowish blotches in the leaves 

 of Gnaphalium arenariumt at the same time as Buccu- 

 latrix Gnaphaliella. This last spins an elongate white 

 .cocoon outside the mine, and therein undergoes its change 

 to the pupa state. Stagmatopho7'a pomposella changes to 

 the pupa within the mine, in which the pupa skin also 

 remains behind ; whereas in Bucculatrix Gnaphaliella the 

 pupa projects from the cocoon. 



The imago makes its appearance at the end of June and 

 beginning of July. (1834.) 



Stephensia Brunnichiella, L., Heyden (E. Z. 1862, 

 p. 363). The larva mines the leaves of Clinopodium vul- 

 gave at the beginning of July. The mine begins at the tip 

 of the leaf and often extends as far as the middle. The 

 mined portion of the leaf has a brown, crumpled appearance. 

 When full fed it quits the mine, and draws down a small 

 portion of the edge of a neighbouring leaf, making there- 

 with a small fold, under which it assumes the pupa state in 

 a small, paper-like, wliitish cocoon.
