OINOPHILA. 231 
may frequently be observed sitting on the trunks of those trees 
with the anterior feet put back, like Beded/ia, not forwards like 
Gracilaria, and the head a little raised; the larva has been ob- 
served by Lienig, who records it as feeding between united aspen- 
leaves. Of the larva of pinicolella we have no record, in spite 
of Duponchel’s amusing remarks (Cat. 374), “that Fischer de 
Réslerstamm had written him word that the larva of pinicolella 
lived in the catkins of the poplar, but that it appeared, from a 
case placed in his collection, beside ¢hat of pinicolella, these larvae 
lived in moveable cases like those of the genus Coleophora.”
