Eupilhecia expatUdala bred from the Golden-rod, SfC. — It may interest Mr. 

 M'Lachlan to know that three years since I bred seven specimens of Eupithecia 

 expallidata from mixed larvae beaten from Solidago virgaurea, Senecio Jacobsea and 

 AchilloBa millefolium. I have little doubt that the first-named flower is the ordinary 

 food-plant. Last autumn I again met with what I believe to be the larva, and took 

 accurate descriptions, which, should my suspicion prove correct, I hope, ere long, to 

 give the readers of the ' Zoologist.' — H. Harpur Crewe ; Wickham Market, Suffolk,

Description of the Larva and Pupa of Sarrothripa Revayana. — I have bred this 

 from a dark green larva, with long very fine white hairs. It has but little 

 or no resemblance to any Tortrix larva with which I am acquainted. The pupa is 

 bright green, with a broad black line down the centre of the back ; it spun a white 

 silken cocoon between two leaves of oak upon which the larva fed. — William Machin ;

A List of Micro- Lepidoptera, of which the Transformations are 

 unknown. By Charles Miller, Esq. 



The following list I had prepared for my own use, but it having 

 occurred to me that it might prove useful to my fellow entomologists 

 in the coming campaign I am induced to publish it for their benefit, 

 through the medium of the ' Zoologist.' 



It will be observed that beside those species of which the transfor- 

 mations are entirely unknown I have included those of which the habits 

 are as yet imperfectly worked out, and also those which have been 

 discovered in the larva state on the Continent, but not yet noticed in 

 the same stage here. With regard to these latter species, I have intro- 

 duced them because it may possibly happen that their food in this 

 country is not the same as that which they affect abroad. 



1 have also accompanied most of the species with a few remarks, 

 the result of my own experience with them. Meagre though such 

 scraps of information be, they may nevertheless prove useful in con- 

 firmation, and taken in conjunction with the observation of others. 



A slight glance at the list will immediately suggest that much 

 remains to be done before the veil of obscurity which hangs over the 

 habits of these species can be removed.
