not. If the locality for the Orchestes 
larraj were near London it would be 
worth a journey to obtain Orchestes scu- 
tellaris.

EXTRACTS FROM KALTENBACH’s 
‘vegetable-feeding insects.’* 
(Continued from p. 119.) 
Cochylis Smeathmanniana on Achillea 
Millefolium. According to iny observa- 
tions the larva of this Tortrix feeds in 
summer in the flower-heads of the yar- 
row, changing to a pupa, in autumn, in 
a thick web amongst the dried flowers, 
by which it is quite concealed. 
Fenusa pygmcea on Agrimonia Eupa- 
toria. In summer the larvae of a small 
black sawfly {Fenusa pygmcea, Hartig, 
Emphytus pygmeeus, Klg.) mine the 
leaves of Agrimonia Eupatoria, making 
roundish brown blotches. Probably the 
larvae, which make blotches in the leaves

der Klasse der Inseckten,’ published 
in the ‘ Verhandlungen des Naturhis- 
torischen Vereine der preussischen Rhein- 
lande und Westphalens.’ 
of Potentilla Repens, produce the same 
insect. These larvae, which have great 
resemblance to those of Blenocampa 
pusilla, which mine in the leaves of 
bramble, undergo their changes in the 
earth, appearing in the perfect state in 
the following July. My specimens bred 
in-doors were hardly half the size of 
specimens bred out-of-doors. 
Cochylis Mussehliana on Alisma Plan- 
tago. The larva of C. Mussehliana feeds 
on the pilh of the stem of Alisma Plan- 
tago, changing to a pupa in July inside 
the stem, and the perfect insects emerge 
during the summer. In August and 
September the young larvae of the second 
brood may be met with; these winter in 
the stems and change to pupae in May, 
the perfect insects appearing early in 
June. 
Rdslerstammia asseclella on onion. The 
small yellowish green larva of R. asseclella 
feeds, in August and September, in the 
tubular leaves of the common onion, as 
well as between the heart-leaves of leek, 
which it sometimes damages down to the 
root. The change to the pupa takes 
place outside the food-plant in a longish 
loose cocoon. The moth appears in eight 
or ten days, and often flies, in September 
and October, in the houses of the country 
people, when they have already stored 
their onions. I have myself seen whole 
fields of onions and leeks destroyed by 
this larva and that of Anthomyia Ce- 
parum. 
Orchestes Alni, L., a small, dirty yellow, 
four-spotted weevil is found in Sweden, 
according to Gyllenhal, on the leaves of 
the alder. I have bred it abundantly 
from mining larvae, which make blotches
