46 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



black Dissoluta of Treitschke is now extremely scarce, and 

 has not been found since the death of old Hess. Whether at 

 all, and in what proportion, also the Ught form of Arundineta 

 occurs near Darmstadt, is unknown to me. Near Wismar 

 Schmidt never found the dark form. 



2. Leucania Caricis of Treitschke, L. Loreyi of Dupon- 

 chel. — I can scarcely understand how the true Leucania 

 Caricis has been so long misunderstood. To begin with, 

 Herrich-Schasffer has figured quite another species, namely, 

 L. Scirpi of Duponchel, sub-fig. 324, 325, as Caricis of 

 Treitschke, and described it at p. 231 ; but this error he has 

 subsequently corrected. Guenee also does not know what 

 to do with L. Caricis of Treitschke, and refers it (i. p. 80), 

 with a query, to L. putrescens of Hiibner, 730 — 731. In 

 most collections, as well as in my own, a small paler 

 coloured Punclosa of Treitschke has hitherto been standing 

 as the Caricis of that author, because they were sent to us 

 with this name, especially from Montpellier. I have never 

 been able to find a difference between this and Punctosa, 

 which indeed does not exist. In Herr Lederer's collection 

 I found as Caricis the Leucania Zeae of Duponchel, and 

 indeed there everywhere appeared the greatest confusion 

 concerning the Leucania Caricis of Treitschke. Now, in 

 Treitschke's collection there are four splendid specimens of 

 L. Loreyi of Duponchel as Treitschke's Caricis, and every- 

 body possessing the true Loreyi of Duponchel will find, 

 when reading the Treitschkian description (vol. x. 2, p. 91), 

 that it applies to it extremely well, and that therefore it 

 must now be — 



Loreyi, Dup. vii. 1, p. 81, pi. 105, 7 (1827). 



Caricis, Tr., x. 2, p. 91 (1835). 

 This species occurs everywhere in the most southern part of 

 Europe : I possess it from Montpellier, Sardinia, Granada, 

 Malaga and the Canaries : Dahl found it in Sicily, and 

 E. V. Frivaldszky has obtained it from Crete as the Caricis 

 of Treitschke. 



Aporophyla ingenua, Fr., Scriptura, />., orientalis, H.-S.

 is in my collection, through the purchase of Von Weissen-
