in elm-leaves in June, most frequently 
at the tips of the leaves. The metamor- 
phosis takes place within the inflated 
mine; the beetle appears in July and 
August. It would be therefore very 
interesting to learn whether this larva 
has elsewhere been noticed mining the 
leaves of alder, as it here mines the 
leaves of elm. Should this not be the 
case, I should be inclined to maintain, 
with my colleague Forster, that the 
Linnean name Orchestes Alni was very 
probably a misprint,* or a lapsus calami, 
for Orchestes Ulmi. 
Cryptohlahes bistriga (rutilella) on 
alder. The larva of this moth occurs 
near Vienna, according to von Hornig, 
on low bushes of alder. It lives in an 
irregular web, which is placed between 
two leaves which are fastened together 
in a flat position ; there are generally 
several larvae on the same plant: they 
eat the leaves partly at the margins and 
partly between the ribs. They are easily 
reared, as the larvae do not object to 
withered nor even to dry leaves. The 
larva forms a wide and loose cocoon 
between leaves, or on the earth, and 
changes to a pupa in October, the 
imago appearing in the following month 
of May. 
* [As a sample of misprints or errors 
of copying, I may mention that in the 
very paper of Kaltenbach s I am ex- 
tracting, I am quoted as an authority 
for the larva of Coleophora Badiipennella 
occurring on elm and ivy (“ an Ulmen 
und Epheu”), “ Epheu ” being evi- 
dently a misprint for “ Eschen,” ash —

Coleophora Astragalella. According to 
my own observations the larva of C. As- 
Iragalella feeds on the seeds oi Astragalus, 
boring into the seed-pods from the out- 
side. The cases, at first yellow and then 
brown, are attenuated and bent at the 
mouth. Out of between thirty and forty 
larvae I did not have the pleasure of 
rearing a single moth. 
Phyllotoma Aceris on sycamore. The 
yellowish larva of this sawfly mines in 
the leaves of the sycamore in July and 
August. It excavates great blotches be- 
tween the two skins of the leaf. When 
full fed it spins a circular but flat cocoon 
within the mine, winters therein in the 
larva state, and changes to a pupa in the- 
following spring. I bred the sawfly in 
my room early in May.
