montana, a Spanish species, “ is so 
acrid that it blisters the hands of those 
who gather it, through three pairs of 
gloves,” and it is difficult to imagine 
that a Depressaria larva would thrive 
on such very strong food. 
Our readers will next wish to know 
whether any Depressaria is known 
which has brown wings, reticulated 
with white. Zeller has described, in 
the ninth volume of the ‘ Linnaea En- 
tomologies,’ a Depressaria Retiferella, a 
variety of which, he says, has the “ Vor- 
derfliigel reichlich mit sehr feinen, 
hellgrauen, etwas ineinander fliessen- 
den Querstricbelchen bestreut, die der 
Flache ein netzartiges Ansehen geben.” 
“ The anterior wings with numerous, 
very slender, pale grey transverse streaks 
running into one another, and giving 
the disc a reticulated appearance.” 
Here, then, in Retiferella , we recognise 
the long-lost Fabrician Rutana ; the 
specimens described by Zeller were 
taken by Herr Mann, at Leghorn, on 
the 26th of May, and were consequently 
hybernated specimens. Mr. Doubleday 
possesses a specimen of the same in- 
sect, which he received from M. Guenee, 
under the name of Silenella ; and when 
we were at Zurich, Professor Frey very 
kindly gave us a brightly marked spe- 
cimen, which he had received, without 
a name, from M. Milliere, of Lyons. 
Dr. Staudinger, when in the South 
of Spain, fortunately bred the insect 
from a plant closely allied to Ruta , 
and thus furnished the clue which has 
led to the restoration of the Fabrician 
name, — a name which has remained 
unused from 1794 to 1859, a period of 
considerably more than half a cen- 
tury.
