siderable size before the approach of 
winter. 
Hemerobiella. Can any one inform us 
what the case of a young larva of He- 
merobiella is like? We never saw one 
that was not almost full-grown. 
Fuscocuprella (the Asychna fuscoci- 
liella of the ‘ Insecta Britannica’). Of 
this species we have, through the kind- 
ness of Herr Hofmann, of Ratisbon, 
several times received larvae ; hut we yet 
want to make the acquaintance of feed- 
ing larvae, so as to learn their mines and 
inodes of feeding. 
CoroniUce. Of this handsome species 
we should again be glad to receive a few 
feeding larvae. 
S.rponariella. Of this species we should 
he glad to receive some larvae that are 
still capable of blotching the leaves of 
the Saponaria officinalis. 
Palliatella. We are still not fully 
acquainted with all the “ways and 
means ” of this larva, and should be glad 
to receive a dozen or two, from any one 
who may meet with it in plenty. A single 
specimen of a larva would be of no use ; 
to describe the manners of a nation you 
must know more than one individual. 
The following larvae will be highly 
acceptable to us. 
Badiipennella. Soon to be expected on 
ash-leaves. 
Frischella. The larva of which has 
been found in the Isle of Wight. 
Deauratella and Fabriciella. These 
probably feed on the seeds of clover ; but 
where do they hybernate? 
Vulnerarice. This no doubt feeds on 
some papilionaceous plant, whether it is 
attached to the Anthyllis Vulneraria or 
not; the larva should be sought at Deal, 
where the perfect insect occurs. 
Saturatella. More than two years ago 
we received from Mr. Buxton some cases 
of this species, which he had found early 
in July, “on the common broom, along 
the road leading from Llangollen to the 
limestone rocks where Ashwortkii is 
found.” Mr. Buxton remarked that it 
was tolerably abundant, for that he did 
not notice it till just as he was leaving, 
and then in a very few minutes he found 
five or six. 
Niveicostella. The search for this 
larva must still be continued. At one 
time we were certainly suspicious that it 
would be found to feed on Hippocrepis 
comosa ; now we are less sanguine on 
this point. Professor Frey has, however, 
observed the larva of Serenella on that 
plant. 
Apicella. Up to the present time we 
have no clue to the food-plant of this 
pretty fen insect. 
Among the Continental species we 
should be glad to receive larvae of any of 
the following: — 
Milvipennis, 
Albicostella, 
Gallipennella, 
Canariella, 
Albifuscella, 
Marginatella, 
Colutella, 
Onobrycliiella, 
Oriolella, 
Partitella, 
Fuscociliella, 
Vicinella, 
Rectilineella, 
FTingillella, 
Tractella, 
Vibicigerella, 
Astragalella, 
Caelebipennella, 
Ouopordiella, 
Ballotella, 
Dianthi, 
Unipunctella, &c., &c.

In preparing the fifth volume of the 
‘Natural History of the Tineina,’ I 
should be glad to hear from those who 
have met with any of the following
