NATURAL HISTORY OF THE 
TINEINA. 
As the fifth volume of this work will 
soon be issued from the press, and as the 
manuscript of the sixth volume, which 
treats of the genus Depkessaria is 
nearly completed, it behoves us to turn 
our attention to the succeeding volumes. 
And first as to Vol. VII., for which we 
propose some of the genus Buoculateix, 
together with a further batch of the genus 
Nepticula, we believe we already possess 
ample materials for the Natural Histories 
of twenty-four species from those two 
genera ; but it may not be amiss to call 
attention to a few points requiring ob- 
t servation, in order that our information 
1 may be as complete as possible. 
With reference to the genus Buccula- 
I trix, we are extremely anxious to see the 
1 larva of B. Boyerella, which should be 
1 found in and on elm-leaves between the 
(end of June and beginning of August, 
llf those who take the perfect insect in 
tany plenty would critically examine the 
oelm-leaves during that period they would 
probably succeed in finding this larva: 
we regret that we cannot at present spe- 
cify more precisely the probable period 
in which this larva is to be found 
feeding. 
Of one Continental species B.Evonymi, 
Zeller {Rhamnella, H.-S.), which has 
been observed to frequent spindle, the 
larva is still undetected. 
With reference to the genus Nepticula, 
the growth of this genus has been so 
rapid that it is difficult to realize to our- 
selves our precise position with respect 
to it. But five years ago, when the first 
volume of the ‘Natural History -of the 
Tineina’ was published, we remarked 
that “ up to the present time we are not 
acquainted with more than thirty-three 
species of this genus, thirty-one of which 
occur in Great Britain,” and out of these 
the larvae of twenty-two were known, and 
twenty-one of them were delineated in 
that volume. 
Two years later Professor Frey, in the 
eleventh volume of the ‘ Linnaea Ento- 
mologica,’ described fifty-five species, the 
larvae of twelve of which were then un- 
known. 
Since then six species have been de- 
scribed in the ‘ Entomologist’s Annuals’ 
for 1857 — 1860, viz., Luteella, Atricollis, 
Myrtillella, Poterii, Glutinosce and Po- 
mella ; and Casianella has been noticed. 
And eight other species have been men- 
tioned in our own columns, one of which, 
Freyella, bred from Convolvulus, was de- 
scribed by Von Heyden. The others
