THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCEB. 
Ill 
those of C. scitella, — and the cocoon that 
it forms on the outside of the leaf, 
according to Guerin-Meneville’s figures, 
is precisely similar to the cocoons of 
other species of Cemiostoma. 
This insect, it is stated, occurs through- 
out the year, but is more or less abundant 
according to the seasons. M. Perrottet 
commenced sttidying the larva in March, 
and the perfect insect appeared in April. 
There are, in those hot countries, several 
broods in the year, and in six or eight 
weeks another brood may be looked for. 
The perfect insect is described and 
figured by Guerin-Meneville, but as we 
do not know whether the specimen was 
in first-rate condition, and as a descrip- 
tion of a Cemiostoma at all worn could 
hardly be recognisable, it may be ad- 
visable to neglect altogether the imago ; 
or, if we regard the figure and descrip- 
tion at all, to do so making large allow- 
ances. One character may, however, be 
mentioned, as it tends to complete the 
analogy between this insect and Cemios- 
toma scitella, “ the head is surmounted by 
a little crest formed of raised scales.” 
Guerin-Meneville describes it under 
the name of Elachisla Coffeella, but, as 
there seems no reasonable doubt of its 
being a true Cemiostoma, it may be ad- 
visable always in future to allude to it 
under the designation of Cemiostoma 
Coffeella. 
Perhaps some tropical collector may 
be able to find again this almost-for- 
gotten species. 
NATURAL HISTORY OF THE 
TINEINA. 
When this work was first announced, 
and we were receiving the names of 
subscribers, we were very particular to 
write to each subscriber to state that we 
had received his name, and had had 
much pleasure in adding it to the list of 
subscribers. We thought by this means 
we prevented the possibility of a mistake, 
yet we found, directly the subscription 
list was closed, Mr. A. said, “ I told you 
I intended to subscribe.” Mr. B. said, 
“ I asked Mr. C. to give you my name 
as a subscriber.” Mr. D. exclaimed that 
he had asked Mr. E., when he saw Mr. F., 
to ask him to be so good as to intimate 
his wish to subscribe to the ‘ Natural 
History of the Tineina,’ See., Ikc. 
To all this we simply replied the door 
was closed, and we could not open it. 
Hinc multce lachrymee ! 
Now we see a mistake that we com- 
mitted; we wrote to each subscriber 
when we received his name, but those 
who thought they were subscribing were 
not aware we did so. The ‘ Intelligencer ’ 
was not then in exisience, and conse- 
quently there were not the same facilities 
for announcing to subscribers the receipt 
of their names, or for intimating to 
would-be subscribers that their names 
had not reached us. 
We announced last February that we 
were now willing to receive the names 
of subscribers for Vols. VI. — X. to the 
‘Natural History of the Tineina,’ at 
ten shilllings per volume, and the names 
of the following subscribers have been 
received : — 
1. Bond, F. 
2. Hartwright, J. H. 
3. Bussell, W. T. 
4. Kenderdine, F. 
5. Killingback, H. W. 
6. M'Lacblan, R. 
7. Latch ford, W. H. 
8. Barrett, C. G. 
9. Farren, W. 
10. Wilkinson, G. H.
