EPICHNOPTEBIX PULLA. 865 



at Hermannstadt, and Staudinger captured two small specimens 

 on May 2nd and 5th, at Kerasdere in Asia Minor. Fritsch notes 

 the imago in Austria, from April 15th- June 3rd, also two early 

 specimens at Salzburg, March 23rd, and April 2nd; both he and 

 Zeller criticise Heinemann's indication of June for the imago, yet 

 in the Brit. Mus. collection some of Zeller's examples are labelled 

 Preth, June 8th, 1867, Raibl, June 28th, 1867. There are also bred 

 examples from Stelzing, May 4th, 1862. Kretschmer says that the insect 

 occurs in May, among grass on the banks of the Oder, the larval cases 

 in April on such trees as have been under water in early spring. 

 Oberthiir notes it as appearing in May and June, in the fields in woods 

 about Rennes. Freyer notes that cases from Ratisbon, in April, 1855, 

 contained fully developed pupa?, and the first imago emerged April 21st.
