Coleophora Otivaceella near Sheffield . — 
On Friday afternoon, the 12th instant, I 
happened to notice some blotched leaves 
of the Stellaria Holoslea between here 
and Handsworth ; and on making some 
closer search I observed that some of the 
blotches had the peculiar green tinge 
which is not infrequent in the mines of 
C. Olivaceella, but which I have never 
observed in the mines of C. Solitariella. 
In a short time my suspicion was verified 
by the capture of a larva of C. Olivaceella. 
I have not yet succeeded in finding a 
second specimen, but at any rate this 
adds a new locality for that species. 
Gelechia fraternella is very common here 
in the heads of Stellaria Uliginosa . — 
H. T. Stainton, Darnall, near Shef- 
field ; April 15, 1861. 
OBSERVATIONS. 
Micropteryx Larvae . — In reference to 
your observations, at p. 16,Af. semi- 
cuprella is no doubt a lapsus calami 
either of Kaltenbach’s or my own ; Semi- 
purpurella was meant. I remember to 
have read somewhere of a Micropteryx 
larva in birch leaves. I have no doubt 
but that I found these larva about thirty 
years ago, but neglected them, sup- 
posing them Coleopterous. — Professor 
Zeller, Meseritz ; April, 1861. 
Larva of Cossus Ligniperda. — I be- 
lieve there is nothing unusual in the 
assembling of the larvae of C. Ligniperda 
as described by your correspondent 
W. T. R., in this week’s ‘ Intelligencer.’ 
Similar cases have fallen under my 
notice in the Regent’s Park ; one in the 
course of last summer, when a man, in 
cutting down a tree in the grounds of 
the Toxopholite Society, laid open a 
“ grubbery ” of about sixty larvae, some 
two dozen of which were handed over to 
me in a flower-pot. The ensemble 
formed quite a “ nosegay.” The man
