According to Bruand (Cat. des Lepid. de Besan$on) it is not rare 

 on Teucrium Scorodonia. 



Saponariella. The larva feeds on soap-wort (Saponaria officinalis) 

 in the autumn, and again towards the end of spring. A circum- 

 stantial description of it is given by Heeger in the ' I sis,' 1848, 

 p. 342. 



Otitce. The larva feeds on the lower leaves of Cucubalus Otites, 

 (Silene Otites, Babington, p. 34) in the spring. Professor Zeller 

 found in the autumn small cases on the capsules of this plant, 

 which he imagines must be those of the young larvae. 



Gnaphalii. The larva feeds on the leaves of Gnaphalium arena- 

 rium, at the beginning of June. 



Millefolii. The larva feeds on Achillea Millefolium, in May and 

 June ; the case somewhat resembles that of Onosmella, but has 

 long white hairs. It is thus totally different from the case of 

 argentula. 



Limosipennella. The larva feeds in July, on elms, in a case much 

 larger than that of fuscedinella. (As before mentioned, I have 

 found larvae which I imagine belong to this species). 



Ochripennella. The larva feeds on Ballota nigra, in a case similar 

 to that of C. lineolea, and at the same time, (May). 



Goniodoma auroguttella. The larva feeds on the seeds of Atriplex 

 in September, in a case shaped exactly like one of the seeds : 

 when full-fed, the larva attaches its case to the stem of the plant, 

 and, boring into it, remains there as larva the whole winter ; in 

 May it spins a cocoon, still inside the stem of the Atriplex, and 

 changes to a pupa, leaving its three-cornered case attached to 

 the outside of the stem, as if to attract the attention of the pass- 

 ers by. (See Fischer-von-Roslerstamm's account of its disco- 

 very, and his beautiful figures of this species, pi. 86 and 87). 



B. 2. Continental species which have not been detected here, of 

 which the transformations are suspected, or, resting only on single 

 observations, require further investigation. 



Colutella, ditella, vicinella, Ibipennella, albifuscella, flavaginella, 



directella and unipunctella. 

 Colutella. Zeller gives as a reference for this species Reaumur's 

 pi. 11, f. 1 — 4, which represent the very curious case termed by 

 Reaumur dfalbalas, observed by him on the Astragalus in June. 

 These furbelowed cases were of a dirty white. Fabricius, who 

 described the species from an insect bred from a larva found
