those of the larvae ; and several undetermined larvae are also described. 
Stainton notes the occurrence of winged females of Talccporia pubicomis 
in Germany (Entom. Ann. pp. 1, 2). He notices the habits of the larva of 
Tinea vinculcllay 1. c. p. 2. He states that liis Ncmophora cartei'i is a fictitious 
species, formed of the fore wings of one species and the hind wings of an- 
other, l. c. pp. 2 , 3. He also treats of the confusion in the synonymy of 
Sfwammerdamia ccssiella, Hiibn., and the allied species. He describes a 
variety of Depressaria costosa, and speaks of a specimen of D. nanatella ? in 
his collection which he thinks may be a distinct species, /. c. p. 6 . He re- 
cords De Grey’s opinion that D. rhodochrella is only a variety of D. sulpro- 
pinquelluy and details Von Heinemann’s observations on this species, 1. c. 
pp. 6 , 6 , and notices Snellen’s discovery of the larva of D. uUimellay 1. c. p. 8 . 
He records the discovery of the larva of Cosmopteryx lienigiellay 1. c. pp. 13- 
10. He also describes 6 species of Tinema new to Britain : — Depressaria 
cnicellUy Tr. ; Gelechia muscosella, Zell. ; Buccidatrix artemisiellay Woclm } 
Nepticida minusculellay II. -S.; and one new species, l.c. pp. 156-159. He 
figures Gradlaria imperialellay 1. c. front, f. 1, and the anterior wing of G. 
hoffmannsiella, 1. c. f. 1 a. 
Ernst Hofmann discusses the habits of the larvae of the Tineinay witli 
special reference to the case-bearing species of the genera Tincay Incurvaria, 
Nematoisy Adela, and Coleophora. Abhandl. d. naturhist. Gesellsch. in Niirn- 
berg, iv. pp. 56-03. 
Von Nolcken (Stettin, entom. Zeitung, 1869, pp. 284-287) points out 
the differences between Laverna festivella, W. V., and L. laspeyrellay Hiibn. 
To the latter species he refers festivella of Zeller, but not of other authors. 
He also (/. c. pp. 287-289) reviews Stainton’s paper on the European species 
of Cosmopteryx (Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond. 3rd ser. i.), and gives the following cor- 
rected list of species : — 1. Staint., Zell., II. -S.; 2. 5 cn 6 aieWa(IIeyd.), 
Zell., H.-S. ; 3. cximiay Haw., Steph., Staint., —drurellay Staint., Frey, Fo- 
logne, =druryellayl\.-^.'y 4. schmidiella, Frey (mentioned by H.-S. under 
driu'yella) ; 5. druryellay Zell., Frey, =onc7m/cea, Staint. (mentioned by H.-S. 
under scrihaiella). He also (/. c. p. 289) notes the identity of Epischnia la- 
fauryella of the Continent (described Ann. Soc. Entom. Fr. 18 ?, p. 189, 
pi. 7. f. 1) with E. farrellay Curt.
