of having it a surplus, it is a great de- 
sideratum to me. I think, in future, it 
would be the best way to give the names 
of species instead of numbers, as one is 
not so liable to make mistakes with 
names as with figures. — J. S. Dell, 126,

NATURAL HISTORY OF THE 
TINE IN A. 
The Genus Depressaria. 
Our readers will, we hope, excuse our 
seeming importunity on the subject of 
this genus, but up to the present time we 
have received but very few larvae this 
year, and our wants among the Depres- 
saria are neither few nor far between. 
The following is a list of thg larvae of 
this genus, already known, which we shall 
be glad to receive : — 
Alstroemeriana, , 
Capreolella, 
Carduella, , 
Ciliella, 
*Cnicella, 
Conterminella, 
*Culcitella, 
*Dictamnella, 
Douglasella, 
*Ferulae, 
*Heydenii, 
*Laterella, 
Libanotidella, 
*Miserella, 
Ocellana, 
*Peiasitis, 
Pimpinellae, 
Pulcherrimella, 
Purpurea, 
*Retiferella, 
Rotundella, 
*Schmidtella, 
Subpropinquella, 
*Thapsiella, 
•*Veneficella. 
* The species marked thus are not yet 
known to inhabit Great Britain. 
Of the following species the larvae have 
not yet been detected : — 
*Adspersella, 
Badiella, 
*Cervicella, 
Ciniflonella, 
*Corticinella, 
Granulosella, 
*Hepatariella, 
*Hirtipalpis, 
*Itnpurella, 
*Incarnatella, 
*Laetella, 
*Ledereri, 
*Lutosella, 
*01erella, 
Pallorella, 
Pastinacella, 
*Putridella, 
*Rhodochrella, 
*Tenebricosa, 
Ultimella, 
Yeatiana. 
Alstrcemeriana. The larva of this spe- 
cies is now feeding on hemlock ( Comum 
muculatum), and we have the promise of 
it from Mr. Harding, who first discovered 
it some years ago. 
Capreolella. The greenish larva of this 
species reminds one much of the larva of 
Applana. Mr. Douglas once found it at 
Mickleham, June 26th, feeding on the 
radical pinnate leaves of Pimpinella saxi- 
fraya. 
Carduella. The larva of this species 
is grey- green with a dark head ; it was 
found by Mr. Boyd on the Downs at 
Lynmouth, July 26tb, feeding on the 
under side of the leaves of a species of 
thistle. 
Ciliella. Nothing has transpired re- 
specting the larva of this species since 
1851. In that year Mr. Allen Hill wrote 
as follows in the ‘ Zoologist’ “ I have 
been breeding this from larvae, which I 
took from Angelica sylvestris, and, rather 
to my surprise, feeding on both the leaf 
and the umbel, convoluting a portion of 
the side of the former for a retreat, and 
* Marked thus have not yet been met 
with in Great Britain.
