Lamprima. In Europe, there are several insects that derive their nour¬ 
ishment, partly or wholly, from species of Malvacese; for example, 
Ilaltica malvse, II. fuscipes, II. fuscicornis, Apion malvarum, A. malva;, 
A. aiuenm, A. radiolus, Lixus augustatus, Hesperia malvarum, Ortliol- 
ita cervinita,Gelechiamalvella and Tortrix althaeana. A thorough study 
will doubtless reveal the fact tliat certain insects have either entirely 
disappeared, or accommodated themselves to other plants, bringing 
injui-y or profit.
