would appear, from what the latter says, 
that Hiibner was mistaken, and that his 
figure belonged to some allied species; 
hence we have quoted it with a note 
of iuierrogation.” 
Now the true larva of Depressaria 
albipunctella does feed on Umbelliferae, 
and Hiibner’s figure very probably re- 
presents it. Hence Duponchel quotes 
the wrong larva and rejects the right 
one ; but he served to spread the know- 
ledge of the black-headed larva feeding 
in May on Artemisia campestris. 
Now the question will arise, if this 
larva be not that of Albipunctella, of 
what species is it the larva? and singu- 
larly enough up to this very year no 
Depressaria larva was known to the 
Micro-Lepidoplerists of the present day 
to feed on Artemisia campestris. But 
the ‘‘ old record” describing so minutely 
a larva of this genus, it was tolerably 
evident that here was a described larva 
of some unknown species, which pro- 
bably had a resemblance with Albi- 
punctella, and had hence been mistaken 
by Treilschke for that insect. 
When at Stettin we were searching 
on the Artemisia campestris we could 
not help thinking of the lost Treitsch- 
kean larva, and hence when a larva 
which appeared likely to be that of a 
Depressaria was delected on the Artemisia 
Treitsclike was eagerly referred to, and 
the agreement was found to be most 
satisfactory. 
Now the point yet remained, whether 
this larva would really produce a De- 
pressaria, and if so, what species ? Dr. 
Staudinger showed us a series of a De- 
pressaria bred from Artemisia campestris, 
showed us the larva (identical with 
those found at Stettin), and very libe- 
rally gave us specimens both of the 
perfect insects and larvae. Three of the 
latter have already assumed the imago 
state, and are now on our setting- 
board. 
There is much yet to be learnt from 
the careful study of “ Old Records.”
