Scdsola oiypositifolia, 27. lY, excl. 19. Y - 2. YI. 1907 {Wlsm.), 

 @ Atriplex jycirvifolius, 10, Y, excl. 3. YI. 1907 {Wlsm). 



When describing fasciatella, Ragonot states that he took and 

 bred several specimens, but omits to mention the food-plant. 



1 found this species on the wing, and the larva feeding among 

 shoots of Scdsola oppositifolia, and on Atriplex parvifolius in 

 a slight web, in April and May ; the moths emerged in May and 

 June. This is the species wrongly identified by Rebel as 

 " Blastohasis 7-oscidella Z.", which, apart from the generic diflfer- 

 ences, it does not greatly resemble. I fear the specimen I sent 

 him must have been a very poor one. The type of Blastohasis 

 roscidella is in the Zeller Collection, and I have also a Ootype of 

 Butalis fasciatella received from the late M. E. Ragonot.
