Adela Sulzeriella F Larva. — From 
Herr Miihlig, of Frankfort-on-the-Main, 
I have received some Adela larvas, which 
it is suggested are probably those of 
A. Sulzeriella. They were found on the 
1st of April, beneath a hedge in which 
grew roses, plum, currant, but especially 
privet. Herr Miihlig imagines that the 
larvae when young mine the leaves of 
the privet, as the imago is fond of sit- 
ting on the privet-blossom and of hover- 
ing round it. At present the larvae are 
feeding on miscellaneous dried leaves. —

EXCHANGE. 
Glyphipteryx Haworthana. — I shall be 
glad to send pupae of this insect to any 
person who may require them, on receipt 
of a box and return postage. — C. Camp- 
bell, 3, Vine Terrace, Rochdale Road, 
Manchester ; April 8, 1861. 
Erirhinus vorax. — I am sorry to an- 
nounce that, after repeated essays, my 
captures of this insect have been nil. 
I find that where, from last year’s 
experience, I had expected a plentiful 
harvest, the water, from the continued 
rain, has risen high enough up the stems 
of the trees to destroy all the inhabitants 
of the moss. I have found numbers quite 
dead and decayed from the influence of 
the water. I am going to reside for some 
time near London, and if unsuccessful 
there, I must either return the boxes 
empty, which I should be sorry to do, or 
else the owners must wait till next season 
for the completion of my promise. If 
any of them have the black poplar in 
their neighbourhood I have no doubt but 
that they would find the insect under the 
bark, as I see it is taken in diflerent 
parts of the country. — R. Tyeee, jun.,

LARVA OF MICROFTERYX. 
Theough the kindness of Herr Hof- 
mann, we have received a copy of Kalten- 
bach’s observations, already referred to 
(Int. vol. ix. p. 196) ; they are contained 
in the sixteenth volume of the ‘ Ver- 
haudlungen des naturhistorichen Vereines 
der preussischen Rheinlande uud West- 
phalens,’ at p. 281. 
Kaltenbach’s paper is a voluminous 
one on “ Die deutschen Phytophagen aus 
der Classe der Insekten,” in which he 
enumerates under each plant the insects 
feeding on it; three portions of this paper 
have now appeared, treating of the plants 
whose generic names commence with the 
letters A, B and C respectively. Under 
the heading Coeylus, Hazelbush, we 
find recorded as follows: — 
“9. Micropteryx Semicuprella, ZeW . — 
The larva lives in young hazel-leaves, 
making brown mines, which are at first ser- 
pentine, of gradually increasing breadth, 
and always close to the margin of the 
leaf. At the middle or end of May it 
descends to the earth, and the perfect 
insect is produced in the following 
April. 
“ Larva 2 lines long, apodal, slender, 
almost cylindrical, gradually tapering 
from the slightly broader pectoral seg- 
ments. The colour is yellowish white, with 
the alimentary canal showing through 
green. The skin is naked, under a lens it 
appears almost granulated; on each seg- 
ment is a smooth transverse fold. Head 
brown, very small, with white bristles, 
jaws squarish, with four blunt little teeth 
on the “ kauflache ; ” prothorax with two 
brown spots beneath, above with four 
small brown blotches placed in a curve, 
anteriorly it appears rather darker from 
the retracted bead showing through. On 
the sides of each of the abdominal seg- 
ments is a small raised spot, uncoloured.
