(Notes on Monsieur Bruand D' Uzetle's 
paper in the ‘ Annales de la Societi 
Ent. de France, 1859.) 
(Continued from p. 184.) 
8. Parmeliella. Undoubtedly our Pari- 
pennella ; Monsieur Bi uand was, how- 
ever, unacquainted with the feeding Itn a 
and its voluminously flounced case ; he 
had found only the grown-up larva on 
the trunk of a tree on lichens (Parmelia), 
and hence the name Parmeliella. 
9. Balloticolella. Our well-known Li- 
neolea from the Ballota nigra. The 
following observation is, however, of 
interest, as here we have never observed 
the larva on Teucrium. 
“ The larva constructs its case with 
the leaves of Ballota nigra, the plant on 
which it generally feeds; however, under 
necessity ,'it feeds also ou Teucrium Scoro- 
donia, on which plant I have only found 
it two or three times, whereas I have 
met with it eight or ten times on the 
Ballota. 
10. Ballotella. I have some doubts 
whether this is the true Ballotella ; the 
peculiar structure of the antennae of 
Ballotella not being noticed. “ The an- 
tennae are annulated with whitish and 
brown, with the two first joints swollen 
and showing a little tuft of very short 
hair.” Not a word about tbe long hair- 
like scales which clothe the back of the 
antennae nearly to the middle. Besides 
he says nothing of the curved tip of the 
case of the larva, and his figure repre- 
seuts it quite straight. The food-plant 
also is peculiar. “In contrast to Bal- 
loticolella this species is almost always 
found on Teucrium Scorodonia, and is 
only accidentally and very rarely met 
with on Ballota, at least near Besanqon. 
Hence it would seem to make use of this 
latter plant, if needful, ^ust as the larva 
of Balloticolella can, if necessary, feed on 
the Teucrium. For, in tbe localities 
where I collect both species, and where 
both the plants grow, I have been 
able to corroborate this fact during ten 
years.” 
Is there a ZeMcriam-feeding species at 
present unknown to us ? Teucrium Sco- 
rodonia abounds in all woods, but I never 
yet saw a Coleophora on it. — H. T. S.
