{Orbona, H.) buzzed from a tuft of grass and escaped me. From 

 similar tufts I also started several Gelecliia terrella and psilella. Gceno- 

 nympha Pamphilus was everywhere in numbers, but was only to be 

 started from its repose ; only during a short gleam of sunshine was it 

 voluntarily on the wing. 



Behind the " Judenberg " I started from the sheltered, dry, weedy 

 side of the road four Penthina rufana (rosetana), and Grambus pas- 

 cuellus and dumetellus in plenty ; Gr. cerussellus seemed to be just 

 making its appearance, and was therefore scarce ; of Grambus perlellus 

 I took here one male with the anterior wings quite unicolorous white. 

 I found the larvae of Simyra nervosa of various sizes, not uncommonly on 

 their favourite food, Ghondrilla juncea, also on Bumex acetosella, and 

 two on Euphorbia cyparissias ; the smallest ones turned out afterwards, 

 without exception, to be ichneumoned. Here I started one <$ Erastria 

 candidula. On the green stems of Artemisia campestris, and also on 

 the adjoining grass-stems, I found a few cases of GoleopJiora vibicigerella, 

 which were probably mostly empty, as, whilst smoking amongst the 

 bushes of the Artemisia, I started up several of the imago, of which, 

 only the females were still in good condition. Of Fidonia fasciolaria 

 (zebraria) I met with several specimens both good and bad. 



In the fir plantation near the peat-marsh the collecting was bad, 

 as it was too much exposed to the west wind, which rapidly carried 

 away from me everything on the wing. On the bushes I took only one 

 Grapholita eosmophorana. From Thymus serpyllum I started by degrees 

 several specimens of Pyrausta sanguinalis, which, with the exception of 

 a few specimens, were still fine. Under the juniper bushes and the 

 branches of the fir bushes which rested on the ground, started out 

 Gelechia umbrosella and terrella, probably mixed with other species ; as 

 it was still broad day-light, and I use no net for catching insects, the 

 wind carried nearly all of them away from me, Setina Kuhlweinii <$ , 

 generally in good condition, flew from the grass stems in open places, 

 the only $ which I found on a small fir-bush was bad and good for 

 nothing. On a similar small bush I found a pupa between the 

 " needles," and on a grass stem I found a larva of this species. On 

 old, isolated juniper bushes I obtained one Hypsolophus marginellus, and 

 saw many of the webs of Conchylis rutilana. Here I also took a worn 

 specimen of Steganoptycha neglectana* of Duponchel, which had no 



* This neglectana till quite lately, when in anansing my collection, I examined Heinemann's 

 statements of the differences between ncglectaria and deatbmna, passed with me for one species with 

 the lust-named, and was called by me, and by Fischer von Kii-lei stain, tlealbana, Fiolich. I find that 

 Frolich's description causes some difficulties, which may perhaps have some influence on the name.
