THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 141 
fasciata appears some weeks later, not 
till the middle of October; it creeps out 
of the leaf in order to make its mine on 
the ground : 1 found it again near Zurich, 
and Herr Schmid appears to have met 
with it at Frankfort-on-the-Maine. —

Liihocolletis Messaniella at Frankfort- 
on-the-Maine. — Near Frankfort, on the 
southern slope of the Taunus mountains 
are extensive plantations of Castanea 
vesca. In September last Herr Schmid, 
Herr Miihlig and I, found thereon mines 
of a Lithocolletis, from wliich we have 
bred a number of specimens of L. Mes- 
saniella. Tiie first specimens came out 
at the end of September. — Ibid. 
The PhryganidcB near jFxeler.— Having 
captured a few of these insects when 
I have been out collecting, — but having 
no work of reference I have never at- 
tempted to study them till now, — I wish 
publicly to thunk Dr. Hagen for his 
valuable and excellent Monograph, so 
far as it is published, hoping, in the next 
year’s ‘ Annual,’ to see the remainder ; 
these papers are boons to the English 
entomologist, and I for one can appreciate 
them. Let us show the learned author 
that we can use the implements he has 
so kindly put into our hands. I will, 
then, as I did with the dragonflies, start 
the lists; but, at the same time, I would 
beg it to be understood that those I am 
about to enumerate are not supposed to 
be anything like a proper representation 
of those species that may be taken here, 
when once attention is directed to them. 
I hope I shall see the record of numbers 
of localities published in the ‘Intelli- 
gencer,’ so as to see how these caddis- 
flies are distributed over the British 
isles.

I have about ten species of the Lepto- 
ceridae, but they must wait for the re- 
maining portion of Dr. Hagen’s Mono- 
graph before I can determine them, and 
I hope during the coming season to add 
many more to the above-named species. 
I need not say that their colours are not 
attractive, but when you come to sit 
down and really study them, you will 
find them exceedingly interesting, par- 
ticularly the neuration of the various 
groups. I may add that, at first sight, 
they appear very difficult to make out ; 
but my motto is, “ Never be beaten ; 
what others have done can be done 
again.” This I should like to impress 
upon our younger brethren of the “ net 
and pin.” — E. Parfitt, 4, Weirfield 
Place, St. Leonard’s, Exeter ; Jan. 17. 
EXCHANGE. 
To be given away. — All who want 
Nematois scabiosellus can have two, four 
or six specimens (state which, and don’t 
be afraid to ask for the highest number, 
as I have plenty), by sending box and 
return postage. Any one who can help 
me with the Micros need not send re- 
turn postage : I want a great many 
common species. — W. Fareen, King’s 
Old Gateway, Cambridge ; Jan. 20. 
Duplicates. — I have duplicates of the 
following, as numbered in the Manual’: 
3, 13, 15, 22, 36, 38, 41, 46, 57, 61, 63, 
65, 71, 74, 105, 145, 147, 173, 184, 185, 
402. Any one in want of the above will 
please write and say what he has to 
spare, as my desiderata are numerous. —

sey ; January 19.
