5^ U,i 
gleams of sunshine. At half-past three p.m., 1 started for the " Jud,i 
berg." On my way thither, I saw only Vanessa urticce and PierisK 
on the wing. From the stems of the aspens I beat a worn Qekt;. 
nigra {cautella, Z.), and not uncommonly Q. populella ; there were m: 
other Microptera which flew off, but they soon got away from me, a) 
had merely the forceps, and it was such broad day-light. Coenonym^ 
PamjpUlus now showed itself everywhere, here in the dry places, whs 
the larva feeds on CorynephorusMev in the peat meadows, and in ot! 
places richly decked with vegetation. Fterophorus pilosellce was s 
scarce. I also took a bad specimen of Fterophorus serotinus, whenoi 
would appear that the first brood was nearly ended. Among the as] 
shrubs, a male of EpinepUle Tithonus was flying, the first specimen^ 
this species which I ever saw near iMeseritz, and which must have co. 
from a considerable distance, or I should certainly have discovered I 
species here before. Nemotois minimellus, which in former years 1 1 
found gregariously on the hill between the ditches amongst Veroi 
spicata* had descended from the heights, and a few specimens w 
flying over the ground principally clothed with Galium verum. Epx, 
pliile Lycaon {Eudora), the larva of which feeds in the fir woods amon' 
the tufts of Corynepliorus (from which 1 have bred it), flew in plei 
along with Ripparchia Semele, and a few EipparcUa Alcyone, Famp) 
Actcson flew quite with the style of F. Thaumas (linea) and F. lint 
amongst Calamagrostis, and was not scarce. I also took a specin 
already wasted of Famphila lineola which had flown out from the ci 
fields, and a beautiful male of Syrichthus carthami.f A beaut: 
Emydia cribrum sat on a grass stem ; the eggs which she laid bef 
dying, fastened together as in Setina KuUweinii, I immediat 
turned out here to keep up the brood of this species, which, howe^ 
is not scarce with us. Acidalia dtcorata, when I came near it, flew 
singly from the sand, when there was much Thymus serpyllum. Set 
Kuhlweinii was easily induced to fly from the grass stems and other 1 
plants, but generally soon sought another place of repose ; some sp( 
mens were good and others bad. The females were, as usual, very diffic 
to find, as they sit near the ground and will not fly. From the fir bus,. 
I still beat the form of Sciaphila Wahtbomiana which begins to fly.v 
early as the middle of May. Around the branches buzzed a GrapholUi 
t Of our white spotted Syrichm with the margins entire, only malv^, L. raJveoluB O ) aonll 
May ; after it ,s over carlhami comes out; and finally in August appears Urre^rHr/Vi/'Jium'^ 
and each ol these species is only single brooded.— P. C. Z. -a'oeu*, a. (/rainum,^
