THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
“ Quadrella. Of this there should be 
hut one brood. The larva grows slowly, 
and is to be found for a long period. 
I have taken the moth in May and 
up to the end of June, and I have bred 
stragglers as late as July. 
“ Consortella (i.e. the species which I 
call by that name) appears probably 
twice, since I have found a spring brood 
of the larva in April, and likewise a 
summer brood in July. 
“ Zonariella with us only occurs once, 
the larva in June and the imago in 
July- 
“ Pollinariella is common here in the 
perfect state in June: the larva feeds on 
Br achy podium sylvaticurn in a long, large 
Lithocolletiform mine. I have never 
met with a specimen of a second brood. 
The moth keeps out for two months with 
us. 
“ Adscitella. The larva from April to 
far on in J une, the moth appearing either 
in May or end of June, or, in shady 
places, not before July. There is but 
one brood. 
“ Biatomella. I have bred both broods 
here. 
“ Ochreella. I have often in vain 
sought for the larva. 
“ Cygnipennella certainly is double- 
brooded. The moth appears in April 
and May, and again, though much 
scarcer, at the latter end of August, quite 
fine. 
“ Alice, but one brood. The larva 
from April to far on in June, the perfect 
insect flying from May to July.” 
Professor Frey then adds a list of the 
grasses, &c., on which he has found the 
larva) of this genus : — 
“ Carex monlana. E. Tctragonella. 
“ Dactylis glomcrata. E. luticomclla 
and albifrontclla. 
“ Brachypodium sylvalicuin. E. albi- 
frontella and pollinariella. 
“ Aim caspitosa. E. Airae, zonariella 
and adscitellu. 
“ Carex glauca. E. biatomella and 
utonella (the latter species ouly single- 
brooded). 
“ Carex sp.P E. utonella, Gleichenella 
and Zonariella. 
“ Carex sp. P E. cinereopunctella. 
“ Poa nemoralis and also another 
species. E. consortella. 
“ Luzula pilosa. E. quadrella and 
trapeziella. 
“ Sesleria, ccerulea. E. adscitella.” 
Some of the students of this group 
in this country may be able to add some 
further interesting observations. I must 
confess I am surprised to hear Cinereo- 
punctella spoken of as double-brooded, 
and Zonariella as only single-brooded. 
Does any one’s experience here confirm 
the statements of Professor Frey? — H.T.
