THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
of Frankfort that the two specimens 
were clearly the same species. 
In the summer of the present year 
Professor Zeller wrote to Herr Lederer, 
of Vienna, urging him to seek again 
for the larva of this Alpine insect, and 
to forward specimens of living larvae, 
if possible, to England, in order that 
they might he figured and described 
for a future volume of the ‘ Natural 
History of the Tineina.’ Of several 
larva; kindly despatched by Herr Le- 
derer one reached us alive, though 
weakly for want of food ; we offered 
it Torilis and Pimpinella, which it ate 
readily, though its proper food was 
Heracleum Austriacum ; it soon re- 
covered its liveliness and was then 
figured, some days after which, still 
thriving on English Umbellifers, it 
entered the pupa state. From the 
pupa; forwarded by Herr Lederer we 
have bred several specimens of this 
Alpine Depressaria. 
This insect is interesting on several 
accounts ; first, from being of a peculiar 
Alpine form ; secondly, from having in 
the larva state survived so prolonged a 
journey ; and thirdly, as being the first 
living larva we have received from a 
Vienna entomologist.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
A. H. — The Icarius of English authors 
is only a variety of the female Alexis ; 
to distinguish it would puzzle a Dtrda- 
lus. 
F. O. R. — The slug-like formation is 
the pupa of a fly of the genus Syrphus ; 
the larva: of these flies are highly useful
