ZOOLOGICAL LITEllATUllE. 
Melissohlaptes bipunctanus (Zell.). Zeller (Stett. ent. Zeit. 1863, pp. 413-416) 
notices the natural history of this species, the larva of which appears to be 
partial to animal food, although Zeller could not ascertain that this is its re- 
gular nourishment. He believes that M. bipunctanus will prove to be iden- 
tical with anellus (W. V.). 
Crambus pratormn (Fab.). 0. Hofmann describes the transformations of 
this species (Stett. ent. Zeit. 1868, p. 32). 
The larva of Odontia dentalis is described by Newman, Entomologist, 1868, 
pp. 158-159. 
Ilerminia cribralis (Hiibn.). Goossens notices the habits of this species. 
Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1868, p. Ixxviii. 
Lindemann has published an account of the appearance of great quantities 
of the larva of Botys sticticalis in the Russian Government of Toula in 1867.

Eupcecilia. MacLachlan lias publislied (Ent. Annual, 1869, 
pp. 83-93) a discussion of the British species of this genus, of 
which he admits 2.2. The following synonyms are indieated : — 
1. E. sodaliana (lla,w.) = amandana (H.-Sch.) ; 2. E. carduana (Zell.) = 
? hybridella (Hiibn.) (if this identification be confirmed the second name has 
the priority) ; 3. E. atricapitana (StQ^\i.)=.venustana 7. E.anyus- 
tana (\lLnhn.) — cruentana (Frol.) ; 9. E. amhiyualla (Hiibn.) (Tr.) ; 
10. E. nana (IIaw.)=pami7ana Midi pallidana (\l.-^(A\.) — ambiyuana (Frol.). 
13. E. vectisana QNQ^iw.)—yeyeriana (H.-Scli.) ; 15. E. rupicola (Oi\vt.')=. 
humidana (H.-Sch.) ; 16. E. subroseana (llaw.)=phaleratana (H.-Sch.); 
17. E. heydeniana (H.-Sch.) =implicitana (Ze\\.) = subroseana (Wilk.) ; 18. 
E. roseana (HaY7.) = di 2 )saceana (Zell.) j 21. E. ciliclla (H\ihii.) = rubellana 
(H\\hYi.) = rufociliana (Haw.). 
Pcfdisca yrandcevana (Lind.)=PA«/. cana (Scop.), according to Zeller, Stett. 
ent. Zeit. 1868, pp. 132-133. Scopoli’s species has hitherto been identified 
with maurana—brandcriana (Linn.). 
Cochylis mussehliana of Staudinger=</n6-6'rtwa or udana of British entomo- 
logists. H. Burney, Entomologist, iv. p. 19, 
Zeller (Verb, zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xviii. pp. 699-605) publishes a list 
of species of this group collected by him in Carinthia, and gives notes, of more 
or le.ss importance, on the following species : — Tortrix ribeana, T.Jlaoana, 
Conchylis cruentana (probably double-brooded), C. pallidana (probably double- 
brooded), C. rupicola, Grapholitha succedana, G.Jlexulana^ Scricoris cespitana, 
Semasia modicana. 
Barrett notices the habits of Pcnthina maryinana, and is inclined to think, 
from peculiarities in its time of appearance, that two species are confounded 
under this name. He thinks that the double-broodedness of Argyrolepia
