with green dorsal line. The head is also 
either deep yellow or glassy, with the 
mouth brown and two dark brown spots 
on the sides. It feeds at the end of June 
on maple in conical abodes, formed at 
the tips of the leaves. After each moult 
the larva seems to form a new and larger 
habitation, since I found some of these 
cones so small they were scarcely notice- 
able. At the middle of June it changes 
to pupa,” &c., &c. Zeller, in the Linn. 
Eutom. ii. p. 333, says the larva feeds on 
“ Spitzahorn,” but is uncertain whether 
on Acer pseudo-platanus or platanoides. 
Frey (Tineen und Pteroph. der Schweiz, 
p.234) says, “ I bred it from Acer pseudo- 
platanus in August. In the Alpine valleys 
it sometimes occurs in prodigious num- 
bers on the sycamore {A. pseudo-platanus). 
At the beginning of August, near Matt, 
in the Canton Glarus, it was in thousands 
on each tree.” 
Cones on maple {Acer campestris) we 
know produce G. semifascia ; that larva 
was detected by Mr. Ashworth in Wales, 
and subsequently I noticed it at Mickle- 
ham. Last summer Professor Frey sent 
me some cones on maple leaves quite 
similar to those of G. semifascia, and 
they produced G. Hemidactylella . Cones 
on the leaves of sycamore I have never 
seen. 
3. Rhodinella, H.-S. This was taken 
in the Breisgau by Herr Reutti. Herrich- 
Schaffer places it next to Franckella 
{Swederella), and remarks that its specific 
distinctness is still uncertain. — H. T.

“ On the whole we are of opinion that 
this volume will be found very serviceable 
to all that numerous class who have not 
already learned everything by their own ex- 
perience.” — Entomologist's Intelligencer. 
“To those who have only collected the 
perfect insect, we recommend this Ca- 
lendar as opening up to them a higher 
source of interest and instruction, in ob- 
serving the forms and habits of the earlier 
conditions of the various species of Lepi- 
doptera.” — Athenaeum.
