The Entomologist's record and journal of variation . hat on the continent aeneella is onlyfound on Malus and is single-brooded, the larvae being found in Septem-ber and October. Oxycanthella on the other hand is not found on Malusand is double-brooded. Recently I had the opportunity of examining thecollection of Nepticulid mines made by Prof. Waters which is in theHope Department, University Museum, Oxford. Under oxycanthella Ifound several mines on Malus from the Oxford district which would thusbe referable to aeneella. The ova are laid singly on the underside of aleaf, frequently on the edge. In the commencement the mine follows theedge of the leaf or runs along a vein. At this stage the frass is black andthreadlike and does not fill the gallery. The mine then abruptly widensand becomes serpentine. The frass is now dark brown, abundant, andnearly fills the gallery. Finally, a small blotch is formed. I am indebtedto Prof. E. M. Hering and Mr. Carolsfeld-Krause for their assistance inthe determination. 24 ENTOMOLOGIST S RECORD 15/1/1964. Stlgmella ameella Hein. Mine. x2 and enlarged.
