xcii Abstract of Zeller's 



Occurs near Paris, Vienna and Glogau, on elms, in June and July : Zeller found 

 the larvae on elm-leaves in July ; and at the end of August, the larvae were still un- 

 changed ; hence the perfect insect would probably not appear till the following 

 year. 



Sp. 105. Ochripennella, Schl'dger. 



Distinguished from Limosipennella by the paler anterior wings, with yellow, not 

 white, costa ; by the shorter unannulated apices of the antennae ; by the stouter tuft 

 of hair on the second joint of the palpi ; broader posterior wings, &c. : from Milvi- 

 pennis by the larger size ; greater breadth of all the wings ; darker anterior wings 

 with yellow costa : the yellow colour of the costa especially distinguishes it from all 

 the nearly allied species. 



Occurs at Jena, in June : the larva feeds on Ballota nigra, Lamium album and 

 purpureum, growing in sheltered places, and is not uncommon at the end of April 

 and in May. 



Goniodoma, n.g. 



Sp. 1. AuROGUTTELLA, F-V-R. 



One of the smallest species of the Coleophora group ; easily recognized by the 

 large gold spots before the apex of the anterior wings. 



This species was discovered by Mann, in a garden at Vienna, and Fischer von 

 Roslerstamm has given two elaborate plates in his work, of its transformations. 

 The larva feeds on Atriplex laciniata, patula, and latifolia, of which it eats the seeds. 

 When full grown it fastens its case to the side of the stem of the plant, and bores into 

 the inside, where it spins a white cocoon, and remains all the winter, changing to a 

 pupa early in July : twelve days after which the perfect insect appears. 



Obs. I have now fulfilled my promise of making an abstract of Zeller's paper, which 

 I have deemed more expedient to give in this form, uninterpolated with my own re- 

 marks. Had I appended to each species a notice that such a species was, or was not, 

 British, these notices would become useless in a few months by the discovery, as 

 British, of many species not yet known to inhabit our island. So extremely little has 

 been hitherto done by us in this group of insects, the species appearing to an unprac- 

 tised eye so very much alike, that I doubt not in the least, by the help of this paper 

 of Zeller's, we may almost double the number of British species. The following are 

 the only species I know as British at present, and it will be observed that many of 

 them are only known to me, as British, by single specimens.

4. Deaxiratclla (Trifolii, St. ?) Taken in a clover-field at Pembury, by Mr. Weir, 

 between July 17 and 25, 1847.
