is to be met with in July, feeding in the 
umbels of Heraclium Auslriacum, an 
alpine plant, growing at an elevation of 
from 4000 to 8000 feet above the level of 
the sea; it is possible that the larva is 
not confined to that plant, since in cap- 
tivity it fed readily on Torilis Anthriscus : 
when the larva is full fed it quits the 
umbel, and seems frequently to retire 
under stones, in order to undergo its 
transformations to the pupa state, and 
indeed several pupae had been found by 
Senator von Heyden under stones on the 
Alps some years before the larva was 
discovered. The perfect insect appears 
at the end of August and beginning of 
September. 
DEPRESSARLi AlSTECEMERIANA. 
The egg is doubtless laid in spring by 
the hybernated female, and no doubt it 
is deposited on the young leaves of 
Conium maculalum, since we are not at 
present aware that the larva feeds on any 
other plant. The larva rolls up in a 
tubular form the pointed tips of the 
leaflets, thus forming a habitation pre- 
cisely similar to that formed by the larva 
oi Depressaria Applana ; its general habits 
also seem precisely similar ; it frequently 
takes alarm on the plant being roughly 
shaken, and often quits the tip of one 
leaflet to establish itself in another. The 
larvae may be found from the middle of 
June to the middle of July. When full 
fed they descend to the ground, where, I 
believe, they construct a slight cocoon 
in which to undergo their change to the 
pupa state. In the month of August 
they make their appearance in the perfect 
state, and though sometimes met with in 
the autumn are far more frequently ob- 
served in the spring.
