EXTRACTS FROM KALTENBACH’s 
‘vegetable-feeding insects.’* 
Depressaria purpurea on carrot {Dau- 
cus Carola). According to Dr. Wocke 
the larvas is plentiful in kitchen-gardens 
at Breslau, on carrots, on the leaves of 
which plant it feeds quite in the style of 
* ‘ Die deutschen Phytophagen aus 
der Klasse der Inseckten,’ published 
in the ‘ Verhaiidlungen des Naturhis- 
torischen Vereine der preussischen Rhein- 
lande und Westphalens.’ 
Depressaria applana. It prefers places 
that are rather shady. Larvae collected 
on the 1st of August underwent their 
metamorphoses in the earth, and pro- 
duced perfect insects from the 9th of 
August to the 1st of September. 
Depressaria daucella (nervosa) on Carum 
Carui. Buhle has observed (Archiv der 
deutschen Landwirtbschaft, Jan. 1841) 
the larva of this species on the caraway 
plant, whole fields being sometimes in- 
jured by it. 
Laverna Idcei on Epilohium angusti- 
folium. 1 have for several successive 
years reared this insect in some plenty 
from larvae which I collected in a sandy 
place near Aix-la-Chapelle, in the roots 
of Epilohium angustifolium. They feed 
in the inner bark and on the tender outer 
bark, often from three to five on one 
root, but they will penetrate the alburnum 
and the young wood, and generally lie 
in a white web. One finds the full- 
grown larvae at the end of April and 
beginning of May still unchanged ; the 
imago appeared in my breeding-cages at 
the end of May and in June. Larva 
whitish bone-colour. Head brownish, 
with the mouth darker; thoracic shield 
paler; anterior legs and anal segment of 
the ground-colour; prolegs very small. 
[From the above account, this larva 
would seem nearly related to that of 
L. ochraceella ; it would be interesting 
to know where the larva of L. Idcei 
undergoes its change to the pupa-state.] 
Butalis Noricella on Epilohium angus- 
tifolium. Dr. Wocke found the larva of 
this species in May and June in the 
terminal shoots of Epilohium angusti- 
folium, which it draws together, and thus 
hinders the growth of the plant. 
Pterophorus Loewii on Erythrcea cen- 
taurea. According to Herrn Schmid and 
Miihlig, the larva of Pterophorus Loewii
