THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCEK.

a letter from Herr Kaltenbach on the 
subject of the WLicropteryx bred by him : 
nine years ago he sent several boxes of 
Micro-Lepidoptera to Professor Zeller 
for determination, and amongst them 
was this insect, which was returned with 
the name of M. semicuprella (an error 
for M. semipurpurella). Subsequently, 
however, Herr Kaltenbach visited Frank- 
fort and recognised his insect in Herr 
Miihlig’s collection under the name of 
M. Fastuosella, which the description in 
Frey’s work confirmed. For the present 
it will probably be best to call the insect 
bred from hazel “ the Micropteryx bred 
by Kaltenbach,” till we are quite sure 
what it really is. Fastuosella frequents 
oaks and Semipurpurella birches. What 
species does frequent hazel ? — Ibid. 
Elachista Larvce. — From Professor 
Fritzsche, of Freiberg, I have just re- 
ceived two packets of Elachista larvaa ; 
those on the Agrotis slolonifera were 
already in pupa, possibly they may be 
E. subnigrella ; those on Poa eornpressa, 
with black heads and black marks on the 
second segment, appear to be E. Greg- 
soni. It is very pleasant to find that 
K'facAuIa-hunters are now at work in 
Saxony. — Ibid. 
Dasysloma Salicella bred. — The Rev. 
Henry Burney has bred three specimens 
of this insect from some sluggish larvse 
found in October last, feeding on Po- 
tentilla Anserina. This seems a very 
extraordinary food-plant for the larva of 
this species. Madame Lienig used to 
find the larva abundantly on alders, 
sallows, and other species of Salix, 
birches and oaks (‘ Isis,’ 1846, p. 268). 
I once found a club-footed larva on Lotus 
Corniculaius, feeding between united 
leaves, which evidently belonged to one 
of the Exapalidce, but I did not rear it. 
Madame Lienig says she has bred the 
females of Salicella in abundance, but 
never a male. Mr. Burney’s specimens 
were one male and two females. — Ibid. 
EXCHANGE. 
Callimorpha JacoboecE. — As this insect 
is not everywhere to be found, I will send 
any gentleman two dozen larvse, about 
July next, for a few larvse of any one 
species out of 400, a list of which I 
will forward to those requiring them.—

Toxteth Park, Liverpool. 
Exchange of Larvce. — I have collected 
from the blossoms of the dwarf willow, on 
the sand-hills, during the last week, 
about 300 larvae of Dasychira Fascelina, 
which I have to offer in exchange for 
larvae of any of the following, as num- 
bered in the Appendix to the ‘ Manual,’ 
viz. .—142, 186, 188, 208, 269, 307, 316, 
319; 320, 324, 325, 330, 335, 336, 340, 
341, 342, 343, 344, 348, 350, 491. Please 
write first. — Ibid.
