ZOOLOGICAL LITEllATURE. 
Catoptria aspidiseana j its occurrence in Britain noticed by J. B. 
Ilodgkinson, Ent. M. Mag*, iy. p. 16. 
C. Q. Barhett notices some species ,of this family found feeding upon 
oak-galls. Ent. M. Mag. iv. p. 153. 
The following' species of this family are cited by Walsh as having been 
bred from willow-galls ; — Kedya salicicolana^ 11. saliciana, Croasia gallivorana, 
and Peronea yallicolana (Clemens). Euryptychia saliyneana (Clem.) was bred 
from a gall on the golden-rod (Solidayo). Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. vi. p. 272. 
Pcsdisca immundana (Fisch.). Kawall (Stett. ent. Zeit. 1867, pp. 119-120) 
describes the larva of this species, which he obtained in catkins of the alder. 
Its parasites are Eubadizon pectoralis (Gw.), Microgastei' amentarurn (Ratz.), 
and a second species of Microgaster. 
A. Gartneh (Verb. nat. Ver. BrUnn, v.) describes the habits and trans- 
formations of Conchylis dipoltana (lliibn.), 1. c. pp. 40-42, and Grapholitha 
hrunnichiana (Fab.), /. c. pp. 42-44. 
Chrosis euphorhiana (Treit.). Life-history described by Zeller, Ent. M. 
Mag. iv. p. 9. 
Enaggs states that when the newly spun silk of leaf-rolling caterpillars 
is moistened by being breathed upon, it shrinks to half its length. Ent. M. 
Mag. iii. p. 279. 
Stainton (Proc. Ent. Soc. 1867, pp. Ixxxix & xc) notices the ravages of 
the cotton-moth in Egypt, and identifies it with Earias siliqmna (Il.-Sch.). 
Frauenfeld publishes a notice upon the moth whose larva has com- 
mitted such ravages upon the Egyptian cotton-crops, and which Stainton 
has identified with Earias siliquana (H.-Sch.). Frauenfeld doubts the cor- 
rectness of this identification. Ilis paper includes two reports from A. Ivano- 
vitch, of Cairo, giving an account of the habits of the insect and its ravages.
