LEPIDOPTERA.
LE.-SEMIDIURNA.

Family II.— PLATYPTEHICIDiE mihl

yl«^eran<Esetaceous, short, pectinated in the males, slightly ciliated or subpecti-
nated in the females ; rarely subserrated. Palpi two, very short, not visible
from above, triarticulate, conical : maxiUw very short, almost obsolete, sub-
membranaceous : Amd small: iAoraa; simple, not crested nor tufted : ivings
ample, broad, mostly disposed in a nearly horizontal position during repose,
the anterior lying very little over the posterior; sometimes compressed;
the former with the apex of the hinder margin in most species falcate; the
hinder margin itself entire or dentate : abdomen rather stout, short, obtuse
at the apex in the females, and slightly tufted : legs short ; anterior tibia;
with a spine within ; intermediate with a pair of spurs at the apex ; posterior
also with a pair at the apex, and sometimes a second pair near the middle.

Larva: with fourteen legs, naked, gibbous on the back, attenuated be-
hind, the tail simple, and without legs. Pupa slender, sprinkled with a
whitish or ashy powder, foUicuIated ; the foUiculus inclosed in a convoluted
leaf.

The larvae of the insects of this family are remarkable for their
singular structure, which resembles that of the typical Notodontidrc,
to which group the Platyptericida? are thus allied, but from the habit
of the perfect insects, the breadth and tenuity of their wings, their
short legs, &c., I conceive them to be as nearly allied to the termi-
nating genera of the Geometridae; the larva of one genus of which,
Ennomos (Colposia, Hilhner*), is not very dissimilar to those of the

present family, the back in those being gibbous, and the posterior
legs slightly abbreviated.

The British genera (the names of which I have retained as in my
Catalogue) may be thus characterized : —

integro : . . 244. Drepana.

haud falcatis : 245. Cilix.

Genus CCXLIII. — Platypteryx, Laspeyres.

Palpi very minute, scarcely projecting beyond the dense pile with which the
head is clothed : maxilla almost rudimentary. Antennae short, bipeciinated,
the pectinations abbreviated towards the apex, where they are nearly
obliterated; those of the females also bipectinated, the pectinations
very short and scarcely lessened towards the apex : head with a tuft
between the antennae: ei/es rather prominent: wings placed horizon-
tally during repose, anterior with their hinder margin irregularly denti-
culate and falcated at the apex ; the disc with two transverse lines, posterior
slightly emarginate on the hinder margin: legs short; iibice pilose, inter-
mediate and posterior with a single pair of spurs at the apex. Larva broad,
attenuated in the middle and towards the tail, the back slightly gibbous.
Pupa folliculated.

The irregularly dentate posterior margin of the insects of this
genus, — which is synonymous with Prionia of Hubner, — sufficiently
distinguish them from the other genera of this family, from which
they also differ by having dark oblique slender lines on the anterior
wings, the antennae in both sexes bipectinated; the larva rather
dissimilar in habit, Sec.

appears to be less dependant upon structure than upon the variations of mark-
ing and colour : his groups are therefore in many instances very artificial :
nevertheless as his work has hitherto only been occasionally, and not in all
cases correctly, referred to, I conceive an abstract of its contents, so far as
relates to the British species, as divided and named, nearly twenty years since,
may be useful. I am indebted to my friend J. G. Children, Esq. for the loan
of this valuable work.

I'LATYPI'KRICID.E. DREPANA. 5

Anterior wings ochry-griseous, thickly hut irregularly marked with minute
transverse obscure streaks, with two oblique dusky lines, having a dark spot
between them near the costa, the basal line nearly straight, the posterior
one more or less waved towards the costa ; the wing from the latter to the
hinder margin is rather darker than the base, and has in general a more or
Jess distinct pale waved streak ; the margin itself is brown, with darker
cilia, intermixed with white : posterior wings paler, generally with an
obscure streak towards the middle on the inner edge, and a faint central
dusky dot ; the hinder margin darker, with fuscous cilia.

The oblique strigse on the anterior wings are sometimes nearly approximating,
and at others widely apart.

Caterpillar brown with darker spots : it feeds on the birch during the autumn,
changes to a pale ashy-brown pupa, and appears in the perfect state in the
following May.

Not very uncommon in the woods in the vicinity of London, espe-
cially at Coombe and Darenth, where birch is abundant ; it also
occurs in other parts of the country. "Durdar." — T. C. Heyshnm^

PI. cultraria. ieacA.— PI. cultraria. Steph. Catal. pi. n. p. 156. No. 6750.

Anterior wings pale ochre, sometimes with a griseous cast; with two rather
distinct strong parallel rusty-brown oblique Hues, having a brown spot
between them near the costa ; hinder margin umber-brown ; fringe brown
and white intermixed : posterior wings whitish, spotless.

This species has occurred occasionally within the metropolitan
district, but it appears to be in plenty at Monk's Wood, Hunts,
which induces me to consider it distinct: the hinder margin of the
anterior wings appears to be less deeply notched than in PI. Lacer-
tula, and the general habit of the insect is different.

Genus CCXLI\ . — Dkkpana, Laspeyres.

Palpi minute, conic, remote, scarcely projecthig beyond the scales of the
head : maxilla; very short. Antennw in the males rather deeply bipectinated
nearly to the apex, the pectinations ciliated ; in the females simply ciliated
or faintly bipectinated, the pectinations, as in the males, decreasing in
length towards the apox : head rather broad, with compact pilose scales

between the antennjE, scarcely forming a crest : e^/e* moderate : wings placed
horizontally during repose ; anterior with the hinder margin entire, slightly
repanded, and falcate towards the apex; posterior entire; the former varied
with irregular dark lines, or marked with two simple paler streaks, the space
between being generally darker than the rest of the wing: legs rather short,
intermediate and posterior tibicE with a pair of spurs at the apex, or the
latter sometimes with a second pair towards the middle. Larva lacertiform,
slightly attenuated in front, with the back gibbous, and considerably atte-
nuated posteriorly : pupa folliculated.

The insects which I have associated in my Catalogue under the
general name Drepana evidently belong to two separate groups : the
first of wliich corresponds with Syssaura of Hiibner, and the other
with Drepania of the same author: they may all be known by their
falcate anterior wings, combined with the integrity of the hinder
margin : the more deeply pectinated antennae of the males also serves
to distinguish that sex : — in addition to the diversity of structure in
the posterior legs between the two sections, it may be stated that in
the first the antennae of the females are slightly bipectinated, and in
the second they are simple.

Wings ochraceous or pale griseous, with numerous dark umber waves;

anterior pair darker, with a deep umber streak towards the apex, a patch

of brownish on the disc near the costa and two small dark spots nearly ad-

joinhig.
The wings are sometimes of a pale ochry-white, with the usual waved

marks.
Caterpillar with the head brownish-yellow, the mouth, sides, and legs green,

the back reddish-brown, with dusky spots and a pale reddish lateral line; it

feeds on the birch, alder, aspen, oak, willow, &c. in September : the imago

appears towards the end of May or beginning of June.

Occasionally found in the woods about London, as at Coombe,
Darenth, and Birch-wood: it is also found at Hertford and
Kipley, and in Yorkshire. " Epping.''-— J/r. H. Douhleday.

Wings of a tawny-brown ; anterior darkest, with two pale waved luteous
streaks approximating on the inner margin ; between these towards the
costa are two distinct brown or black spots, placed a little obliquely, the
anterior one largest, and more or less oblong : on the hinder margin towards
the apex is a brown cloud : posterior wings with a faint brown dot in the
middle, and two or three pale luteous streaks.

Female generally paler, but variable in size; frequently smaller than the
male.

Caterpillar dull flesh-colour, with the head and anterior part of the back and
the tail brownish: it feeds on the oak: the perfect insect appears at the
end of May.

Much less abundant than the last, but found in similar locaUties,
especially at Coombe-wood, and occasionally in Epping and the New
Forests. " Epping." — Mr. H. Douhleday.

Wings tawny-yellowish, anterior with two paler approximating streaks,

between which are two small nearly luiited dusky points, of similar size;

at the apex of the hinder margin is a dusky patch ; posterior wings paler,

in the male with three pale luteous streaks.
Female with all the wings paler and the markings very indistinct.

Found, but apparently rare, within the metropolitan district : I
am indebted to my lamented friend, the late A. H. Haworth, Esq.,
for my specimens.

brown spot ; near the hinder margin is a pale waved streak, and the hinder
margin itself is darkened : posterior wings paler, with a central band with
pale luteous edges ; and a pale waved streak near the hinder margin.

Female similar, but paler.

Caterpillar dusky-brown, with the back red; it feeds on the birch and beech
in September : the perfect insect appears in the beginning of June.

Found in great abundance, about twenty years since, in Richmond
Park, but I believe it has scarcely occurred subsequently, at least in
that locality. " Epping." — Mr. H. Doubleday.

Wings brownish-yellow : anterior with two oblique brown strigae, bent
towards the costa ; the posterior one with a brown cloud attached towards
the outer margin ; between these streaks is a small black dot towards the
anterior edge of the wing: posterior wings with a single streak.

I have hitherto seen but one example of this very distinct species,
which is in the collection of W. Swainson, Esq., who obtained it from
that of his late father : its locality is unknown.

Genus CCXLV. — Cilix, Leach.

Palpi short, remote, slender, distinct, acute : maxillcB very short. Antenntt
stout, short, curved, rather approximating at the base, in the males
slightly bipectinated, the pectinations very short, and scarcely decreasing
towards the apex ; in the females subserrate within : head small, densely
clothed with compact scales: eyes globose: thorax slender, pilose: tvings
entire, compressed during repose; anterior roimded on the hinder margin,
the apex not falcated ; the disc with an irregular cloud, marked with ele-
vated silvery nervures ; posterior narrow, roimded, entire: abdomen some-
what cylindric, stoutest in the females : legs short, rather stout ; interme-
diate and posterior tibiw with a pair of spurs at the apex, and the latter
with a second pair between the middle and the apex. Larva lacertiform,
attenuated in front, with the back gibbous, the apex also attenuated: pupa
inclosed in a cocoon.

Cilix of Leach, a name published some years anteriorly to Euclea
of Iliibncr, as applied by him to this genus, differs from the other
genera of this family by several remarkable characters ; as the wings

PYRALID.t. 9

are not falcate, but their hinder margin is regularly rounded from the
costal to the inner apex ; during repose, instead of being expanded
horizontally, they are compressed or placed vertically : the antennae
are curved and but slightly pectinated in the males and somewhat
serrated in the females : the palpi are rather distinct and slender ;
but the structure of the larva is similar.

Wings snow white ; anterior in the middle with an ovate ashy or slightly
ochraceous spot, in which a branched silvery elevation is inscribed, arising
from the nervures being of that lustre; adjoining to this patch on the inner
margin is a darker one, of an olive-brown hue, intermixed with a few
silvery scales : behind the spots, near the hinder margin, is an irregular row
of lead-coloured crescent-shaped spots, in fine specimens, succeeded by a
second on the hinder margin itself, the cilia are brownish : posterior wings
ashy-white, dusky towards the margin, with the cilia paler: head and
thorax white, the latter dusky in the middle, abdomen ash-coloured, with
the apex white.

Caterpillar reddish-brown, with the back gibbous, the tail acuminated: it
feeds on the blackthorn {Pruiius spinosa) in the autumn, and appears
towards the end of May to the beginning of August: the pupa is brown,-
bluish behind.

A very abundant insect in the neighbourhood of London ; found
also not uncommonly in other parts of the country. " Epping.'"' —

Family III.— PYRALID.E, Leach.

Antenna: setaceous, in general slightly ciliated within in the males, rarely pec-
tinated ; simple in the females. Palpi two, elongate, large, compressed,
sometimes recurved ; or four, the maxillary ones being shortest and occa-
sionally almost obsolete; the labial in some cases rather long, compressed or
very short, acute : maxillce moderate, sometimes only rudimentary : head
small: eyes globose, prominent: ocvUi frequently present: thorax rather
slender, not crested: bodi/ slender, occasionally much elongated, and with a
slight tuft at the apex : icings not divided, rarely convoluted, placed in a

- triangle during repose ; anterior somewhat elongate and generally glossy ;
often repanded or a little falcate on the hinder margin : posterior ample,
rounded, sometimes emarginate on the hinder edge: legs in general
rather long, especially in the typical genera ; the intermediate and posterior
tilnce with a pair of spurs at the apex, the posterior sometimes with a
second pair in the middle.
Larvw with fourteen or sixteen legs, the caudal ones never deficient ; naked,
or bearing a few short hairs ; usually residing in a leaf twisted up by itself,
and in which it changes to a pupa, the latter elongate, frequently placed in
a strong cocoon.

There is considerable diversity of habit amongst the insects of this
family, so much so, as to justify their separation into two groups,
one of which has four distinct palpi, the other only two ; some again
have the maxillie elongate, others almost obsolete : in a few the palpi
are extremely large, compressed and densely squamous ; and these
insects have the wings generally opaque and destitute of lively
colours; while the otliers have the wings mostly very glossy and
adorned with lively margaritaceous tints : it is evident, therefore,
that many genera exist amongst them, of which I shall endeavour to
give concise characters in a tabular form at the end of the volume.

Genus CCXLVI.— Hypexa, Schrafik.

Falpi two, porrected obliquely, much longer than the head, thickly clothed
with scales and compressed, triarticulate, the apical joint mostly ascending,
slender, acute, intermediate elongate, thickened towards the base, attenuated
to the apex, basal shorter than the apical, reniform : maxilluc rather long.
Antenna: alike in both sexes, pilose beneath, especially in the niides: liead
with a conical projecting tuft of hair between the antenna : eyes globose :
thorax rather stout : wings ample, anterior subtrigonate, with the hinder
margin repanded, the apex sometimes subfalcate; posterior slightly emar-
ginate : legs slender, simple ; coxce long ; tihiw rather short ; posterior with
two pair of spurs. Caterpillar slender, attenuated in front, with fourteen
legs : pupa inclosed hi a slight folliculus in a leaf convoluted by the larva.

The species of this genus may be generally known by the bulk of
the palpi, which are very densely clothed with scales, compressed,
and with the terminal joint in general placed perpendicularly and
acute ; the anterior wings are sometimes subfalcate and transversely
faciated with dark streaks ; or repanded on the hinder margin with
elevated tufts in the centre of the disc : in other instances the palpi
are rather more slender, the thorax rather ample, the anterior wings

rounded behind, and the disc bearing a large dark blotch, in which
are elevated tufts of scales.

Reddish-brown ; anterior wings rusty-griseous, with two dari< rusty-brown
streaks, one incurved before the middle, followed by a second behind the
middle, the intermediate space, especially adjoining the streaks, being darker
than the rest of the wing; behind this, about midway between it and the
posterior margin, is a rather indistinct repanded streak, not reachhig the
costa, towards whicli it is bounded with from six to ten whitish spots ;
near the apex of the hinder marghi is a fuscous cloud, terminated by an
oblique streak at the tip ; posterior wings plain brown : cilia greyish-ash ;
those on the anterior wings sometimes clouded with a lighter and darker
tint.

Caterpillar pale greenish, with a few whitish dots : it feeds on the nettle, plan-
tain, &c. ; in April and May, and from the end of June to the middle of
August, the imago is abundant among nettles.

Very abundant in gardens, hedges, &c. in the neighbourhood of
London, Hertford, Ripley, &c. " Epping." — Mr. H. Douhleday.

the late Mr. Haworth, who obtained it, with the following species,
from the late Mr. Francillons' cabinet.

dark scales, with a large tooth exteriorly towards the costa, between which
and the hinder margin is another more obscure one, composed of obsolete
darker elevated spots ; and on the hinder margin itself is an obsolete row of
pale spots : posterior wings pitchy-brown and slightly shining."

Ph. Py. rostralis. Linn'e. — Hy. rostralis. Steph. Catal. ii. 157. No. 6759.

Anterior wings griseous-brown, darkest from the base to a little beyond the
middle, with, in fine specimens, a transverse zigzag blackish streak near the
apex and some black elevated bundles of scales about the middle, the ante-
rior of which is generally edged with a pale line ; the hinder portion of the
wings is palest and is irregularly marbled with dusky and yellowish, with a

' deep black oblique streak at the apex, and on the extreme hinder margin is
an hiterrupted black line : cilia dusky, occasionally clouded with griseous :
posterior wings brownish.

A variable species; the costal edge of the anterior wings is frequently of a pale
griseous, or yellowish : the transverse streaks are sometimes wanting, or
the entire wing is suffused with deep fuscous, leaving only the black elevated
fascicles of scales visible, the usual markings being lost in the intensity of
colouring.

Caterpillar pale green, with clearer spots and a whitish line on the sides and
back : it feeds on various plants, as the nettle, hop, birch, &.C.: the imago
appears in June and July, frecjuenting banks and gardens.

Not very common ; but in July 1827 I found this variable species
in the utmost profusion in the neighbourhood of Kiplcy : it occurs in
other parts from ^Nlay to July, as at Chelsea, Camb.rwcll, IJattcrsca,
Fulham, &c.

Anterior wings with a large, somewhat hatchet-shaped pitchy-black blotch
reaching beyond the middle of the costa and extending almost to the inner
edge of the wing; beyond which is a whitish space, shaded off towards the
hinder margin to brownish, and bearing a slightly curved row of ocellated
spots, having a dusky pupil and whitish margin ; on the hinder margin is an
interrupted black line, and the apex of the wing has an oblique stout black
streak : posterior wings brown, with an interrupted black line at the base of
'the cilia, the latter fuscous.

The caterpillar, which is green, with three lighter streaks and some pale dots;
feeds on the nettle and common heath; the imago appears hi June.

A very rare species within the metropolitan district, having only, as
far as I am aware, been taken near Westerham in Kent by Mr. Plas-
tead, and the late IMr. Ilaworth : but in 1827 Messrs. Chant and
Bentley, to whom I am indebted for my specimens, found it in plenty
between Spitchwcck and Buckland in Devonshire.

Genus CCXLVII. — Macrochila,* Hilhner.

Palpi porrected, considerably longer than the head, slender, compressed, rather
densely clothed with scales, with some long hairs on the upper side, triarti-
culate, the apical joint long, slender and acute, slightly ascending: basal
joint minute, second joint as long again as the terminal, rather swollen
towards the base, apical very slender aciculate : maxilla short : antenna:, in
the males, strongly bipectinated, the pectinations decreasing in length to
the apex, where they becomje obsolete ; simply ciliated beneath in the
females : head with a conic tuft between the antennse : eyes rather small :
thorax slender : wings shortish, the anterior obscurely subfalcate on the
hinder margin, marked with a few dots on a pale ground ; posterior obso-

bundle of hairs, capable of being expanded, and at the apex a series of
shorter ones, and the anterior tarsi wanting ?

In general habit this genus differs considerably from the two fol-
lowing, notwithstanding the males are distinguished by having an ex-
pansive fascicle of elongate hairs on the anterior legs, the structure of
the palpi is slightly dissimilar, and the wings are abbreviated, of
almost uniform colour, and destitute of transverse streaks : my speci-
men of the male has no rudiments of anterior tarsi.

Wings dusky-whitish ; anterior with a small central black dot, and an obscure
double row of dusky ones towards the hinder margin; on the latter is a
faint dusky Une : cilia whitish : posterior wings ashy-white, with the cilia
darker.

The only locality I am aware of for this species is in the vicinity
of Whittlesea Mere, in the fenny district surrounding which it does
not appear to be very uncommon towards the end of June or be-
ginning of July, having taken it on the 4th of that month last year.

Genus CCXLVIII. — Peciiipogon,* Hillmer.

Palpi porrected, very long, densely clothed to the apex with elongate scales,
triarticulate, the terminal jonit recurved, basal small, second thrice as long
as the apical, attenuated at the base and apex, terminal one slender aciculate :
maxillae rather long. Antenna, in the males, bipectinated nearly to the apex,
in the females simply ciliated beneath : head with a conical tuft of hairs
between the antenna;: f/iornx slender : wings entire, anterior rather elongate-
triangular, with irregular dark streaks; posterior rounded, also transversely
streaked : abdomen rather long, slightly tufted in the males, acute in the
females : legs slender, simple in the females, with two pair of spurs on the
posterior tibiae ; in the males the anterior tibiae have a fascicle of hairs at the
base, capable of expanding like a fan ; tarsi slender. Larva with fourteen
legs, slender : pupa also slender, folliculated.

From the following genus Pechipogon differs by having the palpi

* The name Polypogon employed in my Catalogue for this and the following
genera must be changed for two reasons ; first, that it has long been pre-
occupied in botany, and secondly from Hiibner having otherwise named and
characterized these genera.

porrected horizontally, with the terminal joint placed vertically as in
the foregoing genera ; but from them it may be known by their more
elongate wings, which are transversely marked with dark waved or
incurved lines ; by the males having the anterior tibia? adorned with
a very long expansive bundle of hairs, and the proportions of the
palpi are dissimilar.

Wings ashy : anterior darkest, with three distinct fuscous streaks, one before
the middle, slightly unangulated, the second beyond the middle, acutely an-
gulated towards the costa, and approximating to the former one on the inner
margin ; the third between the second and the hinder margin nearly straight,
with a lighter edge exteriorly ; on the hinder margin itself is a faint dusky
line : posterior wings palest from the costa to the middle, with two, more or
less distinct, dusky streaks, bordered externally with whitish, on the extreme
margin a fuscous line as on the anterior wings : cilia brownish-ash.

Caterpillar red-brown, with the head darkest, and a dark line on the back : it
feeds on the oak and birch : the imago appears from the middle of May to
the beginning of July, and is abundant in woods.

Extremely common in the woods in the vicinity of the metropolis,
as at Oak of Honour, Pcckam, Coombe, Darenth, Colncy Hatch,
Hertford, Ripley, &c. " Epping."— Mr. H. Dotihleday.

Genus CCXLIX. — Paracolax, Hiihier.

Palpi curved, ascending, longer than the head, compressed, triarticulate, and
densely clothed with scales and hairs, the terminal joint slender recurved ;
basal joint short, curved, second joint slender at the base and apex, incras-
sated towards the middle, apical about half as long as the second, slender,
aciculate: maxillte rather long. Antenna, slightly bipectinated in the males ;
ciliated within in the females : head with a dense tuft of hair between the
antennae : eyes rather small: thorax slender : ivings slightly elongate ; ante-
rior subtriangular, with the hinder margin entire, the disc with transverse
dark streaks ; posterior rounded behind, with transverse streaks : abdomen
rather long, tufted at the apex, acute in the females : legs slender ; posterior
tibiae with two pair of spurs : the males with the anterior tibiw mostly fur-
nished with a longer or shorter fascicle of hairs, and much incrassatcd :
anterior tarsi slender ; sometimes wanting.

16 HAUSTELLATA. — LEPIDOPTERA.

This genus, which, perhaps, ought to be still more restricted,
might readily be divided into at least two, from the dissimilarity of
structure in the legs of the male insects, exclusively of other points of
distinction, may be recognised by the recurved palpi, which are at the
same time very long, combined with the tufted head and transversely
streaked wings, in addition to the fascicles of hairs, which adorn the
anterior legs, but which are very short in one of the species.

A. Wings pale with dark transverse streaks: anterioi- tibia; of the males with
a short fascicJe of hairs.

Py. derivalis. Hiibner. — Polypogon derivalis. Steph. Catal. ii. 158. No. 6763.

Wings dusky-yellowish, sprinkled minutely with dusky; all with a short
fuscous line in the middle^ sometimes faintly curved externally ; the anterior
also with two distinct fuscous streaks, one towards the base slightly incurved,
and the other beyond the middle very strongly incurved, and carried forward,
as it were, to the inner margin of the posterior wings j on the extreme edge
of all the wings is a delicate brownish line : cilia slightly darker than the
rest of the wings.

A rare species ; taken in the neighbourhood of Bexley and Da-
renth, also at Woolwich and Dover, but I believe never in plenty :
it has occurred in Devonshire.

B. Wings dark coloured, with darker streaks, the anterior one straight : anterior

legs of the males dilated, sometimes with a fascicle of hairs,

tarsi short or wanting.

slender flexuous one behind the middle, and a broader and darker recurved
one towards the hinder margin, arising from the extreme tip of the costa; on
the hinder margin is a faint dusky line : posterior wings dusky, with one or
two faint, waved, dusky streaks, externally bordered with whitish, towards
the inner edge : cilia dusky.

The caterpillar feeds on the golden saxifrage (^dirijsospleniuin alteritifoliuni) :
the imago appears in June.

Not uncommon in woods and bushy places tlirougliout the metro-

Wings ochry-brown: anterior with a rather faint incurved darker streak
before the middle, a lunate spot in the middle, followed by a w^aved line,
intermediate between which and the hinder margin is a broader one, placed
rather oblicjuely and originating at some distance from the apex of the costa:
posterior wings rather paler, with a darker line towards the margin, edged
externally with whitish : cilia all deep fuscous : male with long pale
fascicles of hair on the anterior legs, terminating in dense black t\ifts.

The caterpillar is said to feed on trefoil : the imago appears about the middle
of June.

Less abundant than the last, at least within the metropolitan
district : I have taken it at Coombe and Darenth Woods, and like-
wise at Ripley. " Epping." — Mr. II. Douhleday.

Genus CCL. — .Ethia, Hiibtier.

Palpi rather short, pilose, reflexed, the terminal joint acute. Anlennw slightly
pectinated in the males, simple, or merely ciliated beneath, in the females :
Jiead sm-d\\ ; foreliead smooth; ci/es globose: thorax rather slender: iinngs
whitish, anterior with the hinder margin rounded, entire, the disc with pale
transverse streaks and a central lunate spot ; posterior with a single streak,
rounded behind: bodi/ slender: legs also slender; intermediate and posterior
iibiw with a pair of long spurs at the apex ; the latter with a second pair
towards the middle also: caterpillars with fourteen legs.

The short, pilose, slightly reflexed palpi of the insects of this
genus, united to the integrity of the hinder margin of the anterior
■wings, which are pale with still paler streaks, may serve to discrimi-
nate them from the other insects of this singular family.

one behind ; posterior wings with a single pale streak nearly on the hinder

margin : cilia yellowish immaculate.
Caterpillar brownish-yellow, with an orange-brown dorsal line, and some

black dots on the sides : it feeds on the ash, in the autumn : the imago

appears towards the end of May.

This appears to be a very rare species; a specimen is in the cabinet
of W. Swainson, Esq., and I possess one captured in Devonshire.

Genus CCLI. — Colobochyla, Hiihner.

Palpi short, porrected horizontally, not very slender, triarticulate, the terminal
joint scarcely visible till denuded, basal joint small, second elongate,
thickened towards the apex, terminal conic acute : maxillce rather short.
AntenncE short, faintly bipectinate in the males, slightly ciliated beneath in
the females : head rather small, with a short tuft of scales between the
anterior: c^/ej moderate ; thorax stoutish : wings entire, anterior subtrlan-
gular, with the hinder margin dilated, the disc with oblique coloured streaks :
posterior faintly emarginate on the hinder margin : abdomen moderate,
stoutest and acute in the females : legs slender, simple ; posterior tibioe with
two pair of spurs. Larva with fourteen legs, and with the pupa slender.

The brevity and slenderness of the horizontally porrected palpi of the
insects of this genus, exclusively of the form, colouring and markings
of the wings, and general habit, at once point out characters of dissi-
milarity to the allied genera of this family : there is only one British
species.

Anterior wings of an ashy lead colour, with three somewhat fulvous oblique
stripes, placed in general equidistant, the first before the middle, the second
in the middle, the third arising at the extreme tip of the costa and slightly
recurved ; on the hinder margin is an interrupted brownish line, and a few
black dots : cilia ashy : posterior wings whitish ash, with a short paler
streak towards the hinder margin, near the anal angle : cilia paler.

PyilAl.IDE. SYNAl'HK. 19

The two basal strigtc on the anterior whigs arc sometimes slightly approxi-

The caterpillar feeds on willows; it is slender and green, with the legs paler:
the pupa is black : the imago appears towards the end of June.

A very rare and local insect : I have specimens taken many years
since in the neighbourhood of Bexley, in which vicinity I believe my
friend Mr. Newman has captured it within these few years ; it has
also been found at Charlton.

Gkxtjs CCLII. — Synaphe, Hilhner.

Palpi four, conspicuous ; maxillary short, very pilose, slightly ascending, biar-
ticulate ; labial very long, dependii!g, triarticulate, densely clothed at the
base with scales and long hairs, the apical johit above half the length of the
second, slender, aciculate : maxillce very short. Antenna; curved, in the
males bipectiiiated, the pectinations rather densely ciliated ; simple in the
females : head small, smooth in front : eyes globose : thorax slender : wiugs
entire; anterior very narrow, elongate triangular, of a deep tint, with a
broader central band ; posterior abbreviated, rounded, ovate-triangular : cilia
rather ample : ahdnmen elongate, especially in the females ; slender, with a
tuft at the apex, or short and very acute in the females : legs slender, simple;
posterior tibiae with two pair of spurs.

From all the foregoing genera of this family the conspicuous
maxillary palpi at once distinguish this ; in addition to which the
labial palpi are very long, hirsute, and slightly depending ; the
antennje also elongate, densely ciliated and pectinated ; the wings
very narrow and lengthened ; the body, especially in the females,
also very long and slender.

base, and a somewhat flexuous paler one behind the middle ; in the centre
of the wing is a dark brownish spot; on the costa are numerous short white
elongate dots, inclining outwardly, and frequently disposed in pairs : pos-
terior wings fuscous; cilia of all reddish.

The female is smaller, with the bodv much elongated and slender, of a pale

reddish bro\v!i, with a darker central fascia, and yellowish-red posterior
wings.
The caterpillar feeds on the Marsh ^Villow herb {Epilobium palustre); and the
imago occurs about the middle of July.

Not common ; found occasionally at Coombe and Darenth Woods;
also in the New Forest and in Devonshire.

Genus CCLIII. — Cledkobia* tniJu.

Palpi two, long, porrected longitudinally, compressed, broad, very densely
clothed with compact scales, triartictdate, the terminal joint exposed; basal
joint short, second broud, obtuse, third very small, acute : maxillw rather
long. Antenna slender, rather long, densely ciliated beneath in the males,
slightly so in the females : head small, furnished with a tult of hairs in
front: eyes globose: thorax slender : abdomen elongate, compressed, with a
tuft at the apex in the males, somewhat obtuse in the females: wings rather
narrow: anterior elongate triangular, obtuse at the apex, sombi-e, with
transverse darker lines ; posterior slightly emarginate, ovate triangular : cilia
moderate ;_/e^ri slender, simple; posterior tibise with two pair of spurs.

Under the genus Hypena Mr. Curtis remarks that the insects
associated under the name Pyralidas are so dissimilar, that if structure
be of any importance, they should be divided into two families, some
having four and others two palpi, some with and some without
maxiihe, and proposes their division into two families in consequence:
had he followed up this observation by an examination of specimens,
instead of copying my genus Cledeobia from my Catalogue, he would
have detected the great impropriety of associating the genus Synaphe
therewith, the present genus not only differing in general habit, but
being destitute of the maxillary palpi, which are so very conspicuous
in the genus last mentioned.

terminates in a pale whitish-ash blotch ; the hinder margin is brownish, with
a faint waved whitish streak; and on the external edge is a row of detached
black lunular dots ; posterior wings whitish, with the apex fuscescent : cilia
of all fuscous.

Also a rare insect ; the only locality I am aware of being in the
vicinity of Whittlesea Mere, and near Swaffham in Norfolk, where it
was taken by the late Mr. Haworth.

Genus CCLIV. — Camptylochila* mihi.

Palpi two, divaricating, recurved from the l)ase, slender, densely scaly, espe-
cially beneath, triarticulate, the terminal joint exposed, subovate; basal
joint short, second thrice as long, slender, third rather more than half as
long as the second and more slender, acute : maxilla rather long. Antenna:
moderate, slightly bipectinated in the males, simple ? in the females : head
broad, not tufted in front : ei/es globose : thorax rather stout : ivitigs entire ;
anterior rounded on the hinder margins, rather glossy, and with transverse
waved streaks ; posterior entire: bodi/ moderate, not very short, slightly
tufted in the males ; Icg-s slender, simple ; posterior tibiw furnished with two
pair of long slender spurs.

The long, slender, almost semicircularly recurved palpi of the
insects of this genus sufficiently indicate their distinctness from all
the former : in addition to which their entire wings, whose hinder

imdulated lines, arising from rather large blackish spots on the costa, the
first towards the base, the second medial less waved, with an obscure pale
lutescent crescent in it towards the costa, the third very much waved and
flexuous, the fourth also considerably waved, and as well as the third bor-
dered exteriorly with whitish, as are also the two posterior costal spots : on
the hinder margin is an interrupted black line ; posterior wings similar but
paler, and wanting the black costal spots ; cilia of all ashy-brown.

inner margin, the third near the hinder margin, arising near the apex of the
costa and terminating on the anal angle : between the basal and second
streaks is a short huiulated reddish mark : cilia dusky : posterior wings
brown, with the hinder margin darker, and having an obscure palish waved

pupa inclosed in a silken cocoon, covered with extraneous substances.

The long, porrected, palpi of the Aglossae, the terminal joint of
which is considerably exposed, taken in combination with the varied

Wings cinereous ; anterior glossy dusky-ash, with a short fuscous line at the
base, two nearly contiguous very much flexuous ones before the middle, the
space between which is pale ashy-ochre ; and midway between this and
the posterior margin is a third waved dusky streak, bordered exteriorly with
ochreous-ash ; the space between the two last streaks is rather darker and
bears a dusky dot, edged outwardly with ochreous-ash ; and the costa
between is sometimes of the latter tint : on the hinder margins arc some
obscure ashy clouds : posterior wings fuscous, with some very obsolete
darker markings : cilia fuscous.

In some examples the markings are much stronger, and the contrasts of colour
more evident; the insect varies considerably in size.

Caterpillars didl brown, shining; it feeds on butter, lard, and other oleaginous

globose : thorax rather short : wings entire, anterior lanceolate-triangular,
rounded at the apex, and mostly adorned with two slender transverse pale
streaks; posterior also rounded on the hinder margin, ovate-triangular:
body rather short and slender, with a small tuft at the apex : le^rs moderate ;
anterior coxcc stout ; posterior tibice with two pair o£ long spurs. Larva
with sixteen legs.

The insects of this genus may be known by having short ascending
palpi, of wliich the terminal joint is visible and acute before denu-
dation, the anterior wings are of lively colours, and bear pale trans-
verse waved lines, as do also the posterior; the maxilhe are rather
long; the body moderate; and the antennae ciliated in the males.

I have retained the name Pyralis for this genus, as given in my
Catalogue, notwithstanding the subsequently published remarks of
Mr. Curtis, with the first sentence and part of the second of which I
perfectly coincide : he says, " Linn{EUs''s division Pyralis contains
insects varying so much in structure, that it is undoubtedly necessary
to divide it ; and as it is a term which has been applied to various
groups, it will be better to take the first species of Linnaeus as the
type, which will include the Herminias of Latreille with feathered feet
and pectinated antennce." In reference to the conclusion of this
paragraph, and in justification of my own nomenclature of this genus,
I wish to direct the reader's attention to p. 881 of the Systema Na-
turae, in which it will be seen P. Farinalis stands at the head of the
Linnean Pyrales ; though in the last edition of the Fauna Suecica
P. tentacularis occupies this position ; referring, however, to the pre-
ceding edition, it will be found that this last insect is placed amongst

Wings ashy-brown ; anterior with a purplish gloss, with two yellowish trans-
verse streaks thickened towards the costa, the anterior one slightly incurved,
the posterior a little waved; between these on the costa are several yellow-
ish dots : posterior wings paler, with a faint incurved yellowish line before
the middle, and a second slightly waved one behind : on the hinder margin
of all the wings is a very delicate, almost obsolete, pale line : abdomen in
the female elongated.

Not common ; taken occasionally in gardens within the metropo-
litan district, having taken it formerly in those of the British Museum,
and also at Hertford and the Hermitage. " Epping." — Mr. H.

Genus CCLVII. — Hypsopvgia, Hiihner.

Palpi short, ascending, triarticulate, densely clothed with scales, the apical
joint rather distinct, and when denuded somewhat longer than the basal,
which is a little curved; second stoutest and longest, terminal elongate
acute: maxillw siwxi. Antenna: slender, ciliated nccirly to the apex in the

males, simple in the females : head moderate : eyes large : thorax subovate :
wings entire, glossy, disposed in a broad triangle during repose ; anterior
sublanceolate-triangular ; posterior ovate triangular; all of very lively
colours, and having long cilia: body slender in the males, and furnished with
a small tuft, acute in tlie females: legs moderate; posterior tibiw furnished
with two pair of spurs.

Exclusively of differences in the structure and clothing of the palpi,
&c., this pretty genus may be recognized by having the cilia very
long and of a golden hue, concolorous with the hinder margin of the
wings ; the latter of a beautiful purplish-red with gold coloured costal
spots and faint transverse streaks.

Wings purplish-red and glossy ; anterior with a rather large golden-yellow
spot on the costa before the middle, carried on as a slender streak to the
inner margin, a second larger and subquadrate spot of similar colour behind
the middle, also carried on to the inner margin, as a slightly waved streak ;
near the hinder margin is a very faint yellowish waved line ; and the hinder
margin itself, with the cilia, is bright golden-yellow : posterior wings with
two, more distinct, yellow streaks, with the posterior margin and cilia also
bright golden-yellow.

The caterpillar feeds on the poplar ; the imago appears from the middle of
July to that of August, in gardens.

Not very uncommon within the metropolitan district in houses and
gardens; I have taken it at the Hermitage and also in London
itself, and at Hertford and Coombe Wood.

Genus CCLVIII. — Agrotkra, Schrank.

Palpi short, recurved, approximating, and forming a kind of mask, densely
clothed with scales, placed irregularly thereon, triarticulate, the apical joint
slightly exposed ; the basal and intermediate ones curved : viaxilla: rather
long. AntennuE long and slender, ciliated in the males, simple in the females :
head globose : eyes small, ovate : thorax slender, pilose : wings entire, anterior
elongate, very acute, the hinder margin slightly repanded and the costa rather
suddenly incurved ; posterior obscurely indented on the hinder margin :
body long, slender towards the apex, and furnished with a large tuft; shorter
and acute at the tip in the females: legs very long and slender; posterior
tibiiE with two pair of spurs.

28 HAUSTELLATA. LEPIDOl'TERA.

The short, recurved, approximating palpi of the insects of this
genus, combined with the acuteness of the anterior wings, which have
the appearance of being subfalcate, the elongated slender abdomen,
long legs and lively pale colours of the insect, point out its dissimi-
larity to the allied genera.

Wings purplish-red; anterior dark at the base, with an Incurved white streak
as a border, then a broad pale space bordered also externally with a white
line, and bearing in the middle towards the costa a brown dot ; the hinder
margin beyond darker, with an extremely slender marginal black line : the
costa is marked with small dusky and white dots : cilia white, with dusky
spots : posterior wings very similar, the base and apex being dark, with a
pale band in the centre, edged on t ach side with a white line ; the extreme
hinder margin with a fine black line, and the cilia white and blackish.

Variable in colour ; the female smallest, with the wings more slender and paler
in colour.

Caterpillar feeds on the privet {Ligustruiii vulgare) : the imago frequents
woods towards the end of June.

Not uncommon in woods in the vicinity of London, especially at
Coombe, Darenth, and Birch Woods.

Genus CCLIX. — Simaethis, Leach.

Palpi two, short, porrected obliquely, curved at the base, triarticulate, the
articulations subequal, densely clothed with short scales or elongate hairs,
like bundles of scales, leaving the terminal joint exposed ; the latter, when
denuded, rather shorter than the basal, and attenuated to the apex, inter-
mediate joint rather longest and stoutest : maxillcE long. Antenna moderate,
slender, pilose beneath ; ciliated in the males ; head small, squamous : eyes
moderate : thorax slender : wings ample, anterior formhig a rhomboid figure
during repose ; colours dingy, anterior generally retuse, sometimes acute :
body short, linear, obtuse, stoutest in the females : legs short; posterior tibias
having two pair of long spurs.

The pretty insects constituting the present genus offer several
points of resemblance to the Tortricidae, and until their metamor-
phoses and the general structure of this portion of the Lepidoptera be
better understood, it will be difficult to assign them to their proper

location ; they appear, nevertheless, to be more allied to the Pyrr-
Yidx, and if so their present location is that most adapted to receive
them : they may be known by the brevity and width of their wings,
which appear, from the maculated cilia, to be dentate : they fly in a
peculiar vacillating manner by day, revelling in the solar rays on
umbelliferous plants, and upon nettles, &c.

white spots placed obliquely, and a dot of the same towards the apex ; on
the disc are two other white dots and a smaller one near the base ; there are
also several metallic spots on the disc, of a coppery or tarnished silvery hue,
and a broken irregular streak of the same near the hinder margin ; cilia

with a few minute tarnished silvery dots ; cilia white at the apex, with the
extreme apex and anal angle dusky : posterior wings ashy-brown, with a
faint whitish abbreviated streak.

The wings in this insect are evidently narrower and more acute than in the
foregoing, and the metallic markings are more obscure ; otherwise it might

Gexus CCLX. — Anania, Hiibner.

Palpi four, maxiilary slender, small ; labial approximating, porrccted like a
beak, elongate, densely clothed with scales, the apex concealed ; triarticulate,
the basal joint reniform, second elongate robust, third as long as the basal,
ovate: wzaorjY/ffi long and spiral. Antennae long and slender, slightly pilose
beneath : head small, clothed with compact scales : ei^es small : thorax
slender : wings entire, forming a triangle during repose ; anterior acute,
elongate-triangular; posterior small, ovate-triangular; all marked with
simple blotches of contrasted colours, usually black and white : abdomen
rather long and slender, annulated, slightly tufted in the males, acute in
the females: legs long and slender; posterior tibia; with two pair of spurs.

The species of this genus are usually of dark, almost jet black,
colours, more or less prettily varied, spotted, or streaked with white ;
the only indigenous one is black, with large white regular blotches,
and both surfaces of the wings are nearly similar ; by this alone, ex-
clusively of diversities in structure, the genus may be known from its
allies.

Wings deep black; anterior with two large rounded snow-white spots, one
before the middle, the other, more ovate, placed transversely behind the
middle : between these towards the costa is frequently a more or less dis-
tinct white dot: posterior also with two white spots of similar form and
location, with sometimes a smaller one on the costa : cilia of all the wings
black, with a small space at the tip, and a larger towards the anal angle
white : sides of the thorax yellow ; abdomen with the margin of the seg-
ments white.

The basal spot on the whigs is sometimes very small, or almost obliterated :
both surfaces of the wings nearly correspond.

Rather uncommon ; found most frequently at Darenth and Birch
Woods, near London, in June, and again in August.

Genus CCLXI. — Ennychia, Treitschke.

Palpi four, rather long, approximating in form of an acute beak ; maxillary
small, slender; labial triarticulate, very densely clothed with elongate
scales, basal joint slightly curved and longer than the terminal, intermediate

Stout, about twice the length of the basal ; terminal ovate obtuse: maxilhc
rather long. Antenna: simple in both sexes; slightly pilose beneath, more
so in the males: head rather broad, densely scaly: eyes globose: thorax
somewhat robust: wings entire, placed in a triangle during repose ; all dark
with transverse white streaks, and sometimes spotted; anterior slightly
abbreviated; posterior ovate-triangular: hodif whitish, generally annulated:
legs slender ; posterior tibife with two pair of spurs at the apex.

The pretty insects of this genus are of small stature and have the
anterior wings rather short, all the wings of dark colour, with pale
transverse fasciac?form streaks ; the palpi are longish, approximating
in form of a beak and slightly dissimilar to those of the foregoing and
following genera : they fly by day in grassy places, and are usually
double brooded.

middle, carried on through the umer margin of the posterior wings ; cilia
black, with the tips white.

Variable : in some specimens the anterior wings have a small white spot on
the inner edge towards the base, and a second rounded one in the middle :
the posterior have also occasionally a more or less distinct waved white spot
at the base.

Hiibner's name fascialis having the priority, I have been compelled to alter

It is somewhat doubtful whether this very distinct species be truly
indicrenous ; Mr. Haworth having obtained il from a dealer

however, be observed that I knew the dealer in question, and I am
confident he never knowingly passed off any insect as British that he
w^as not convinced was so ; in fact his insects were all captured by
himself; and it may be added that the other two unique insects of
this family mentioned by Mr. Haworth as obtained from the same
source, have been again taken, one {Dinsemia literaJis) in profu-
sion, and I possess British specimens of each.

All the species of this elegant genus are remarkable for the lively
purple tinges -which adorn their wings, which, added to the rich con-
trast of their golden yellow markings, renders them very conspicuous:
they are of small size, frequent grassy hedges, and gambol (as so
usual with gaily coloured insects) in the bright sunshine : they are
mostly double brooded, the first brood appearing towards the end of
May, and the second about the middle of August.

beyond the middle an oblique band composed of somewhat confluent irre-
gular spots, and an obscure streak composed of minute dots near the hinder
margin, all golden-, or sulphurous-yellow, sometimes with a reddish tint:
posterior wings of a darker hue, with a spot at the base and an entire curved
fascia behind the middle, yellow; the hinder margin with a faint reddish-
yellow streak, composed of small dots, as in the anterior wings : cilia brown,

densely scaly between the antennae; thorax slender: iv'uigs very narrow
and acute, anterior subfalcate, marked with various irregular lines
resembling oriental characters ; posterior slightly emarginate on the hinder
margin, also marked with litersform lines : abdomen slender, rather long,
annulated, the apex with a small tuft in the males, slightly acute in the
females: legs rather long and slender; posterior tibiae with two pair of
spurs.

The only indigenous species of this genus may be distinguished
from those of the preceding one, in which the palpi also arc conni-
vent and resemble a beak, by having them dependent ; the wings are
also totally dissimilar, being marked with numerous transverse and
longitudinal pale characters and darker blotches upon a dusky
ground ; the anterior wings are very acute and faintly subfalcate, and
the posterior wings are strongly emarginate on their hinder edge
towards the costal angle.

Wings brown, with darker clouds ; anterior with two silvery white streaks
resembling Arabic characters, the first oblique at the base, and the second
behind the middle, then a more distinct slightly recurved streak towards
the hinder margin, having a short whitish line within, towards the costa ;
on the hinder margin is a faint row of pale clouds: posterior wings at the
base dark, then an oblique ashy- white streak, and then an angulated one
towards the apex, not touching the inner margin, sometimes interrupted :
cilia all brown, interrupted with white.

Variable, some examples having the ground very much clouded with brown,
others nearly concolorous ; some again are very dark, others pale ; and the
white marks are more or less distinct.

Occasionally taken in the beginning of June at Darenth, on the
borders of a small pond, towards the middle of the wood ; but found
very abundantly in the New Forest, somewhere in the vicinity of
Brockenhurst.

Genus CCLXIV. — Hydrocampa, Latreille.

Palpi four, maxillary distinct; labial ascending, slender, divaricating, the
basal joints densely clothed with elongate scales beneath; triarticulated,
the terminal joint acute: wax/Z/cp elongate. Antennae moderate, simple in
both sexes, curled and subserrated within at the apex, in the males slightly
ciliated; head small, smooth between the antennae: thorax moderate,
densely pilose : ivings ample, anterior elongate, somewhat acute, the hinder
margin entire ; posterior ovate-triangular, also with the hinder margin
entire ; the surfaces of all prettily reticulated, with dark duplex lines upon a
pale ground : abdomen elongate, annulated, with a tuft at the apex in the
males, very acute in the females : legs long and slender ; posterior tibise
with two pair of elongate spurs. Larvse slender, with 16 legs; subsist upon
aquatic plants; pupa inclosed in a cocoon cut out of their leaves.

The pretty insects of this genus differ from Diasemia by having
the palpi slender and divaricating, the maxillary ones very distinct,
maxillae elongate, and the wings pale, reticulated with double brown
streaks ; the hinder margin is entire and faintly rounded, and the
antennae are subserrated at the apex.

Wings white, with fuscous clouds, and darker anastomosing (or reticulated)
streaks, the spaces between paler ; these streaks enclose three or four large
patches of white, of which a conspicuous ovate triangular one is placed
towards the apex of the inner margin, and a second large reniform one on
the costa behind the middle ; near the hinder margin is a simple but distinct
repanded line ; posterior wings with a duplex streak before the middle, and
one behind, leaving an intermediate white band in which is a brown crescent,
the outer portion of the hinder striga of irregular outline ; the hinder
margin itself with a simple line; cilia fuscous, sometimes clouded with
white.

Extremely variable, some examples are almost entirely suffused with brown,
having a few conspicuous white patches; others are nearly white, and all
the intermediate shades occur.

The caterpillar feeds on the white and yellow water lily {Nijinpha;a; alba et
lutea), and the broad-leaved pond-weed {ruianwgeloji, nutans) : the imago

appears in June in marshy places, ditches, &c.: very abundantly in some
places.

Very abundant in marshy places within the metropolitan district,

AVings glossy snow-white, anterior with the costa at the base to beyond the
middle with two brownish lines, and the disc reticulated with similar ones
forming insolid fasciae, and leaving large snow-white blotches thereon,
with a band of the same near the hinder margin, the latter brownish, and
the base of the cilia the same ; the apex of the latter pure white : posterior
wings with two transverse insolid fasciae, and a small lunular mark attached
to the basal one, the hinder margin and cilia as hi the anterior.

Also a variable species ; in some examples the reticulated fascisc are solid,
and in others their marginal lines only appear, their interior being pure
white ; some examples are totally destitute of fasciae or strigcc, having only
a faint double line towards the middle of the anterior wings.

The caterpillar feeds on duckweed {Lemna), and the imago appears about
the middle of July in marshy and humid places.

]Much less abundant than the foregoing species, but far from
uncommon within the metropolitan district, in similar situations with
that insect. " Cambridgeshire Fens, common." — Rev. L. Jenyns.

ciliated in the males: head small, smooth between the antenna: thorax
moderate : tvings forming a triangle during repose; anterior elongate, acute,
subtruncate on the hinder margin, of nearly plain uniform colours, without
transverse streaks; posterior ovate-triangular, entire, adorned with a dark
border : abdomen slender, and attenuated behind in the males, with a tuft
at the apex, rather stout, and acute at the tip in the females : legs very
slender, rather long; posterior tibiae with two pair of spurs. Larva with
sixteen legs ; feeds on aquatic plants : pupa inclosed in a cocoon, formed of
conglomerated pieces of the food of the larva, united with silk.

The minute maxillary palpi and distinct labial ones of the insects
of this genus, exclusively of the almost rudimentary maxillae, the
beautiful simplicity of the colouring on the wings, the posterior ones
being adorned with a dark margin studded with ocellated spots, serve
as characters to distinguish them from the Hydrocampse, with which
they are associated by Latreille and others.

Anterior wings in the male snow-white, in the female narrow and elongate, of
an ashy hue, with fuscous atoms, in both sexes with a minute black dot in
the centre, most evident in the male; in which sex the hinder margin has
an ashy-brown fascia, not reaching to the costa : posterior wings white,
with a black dot, and clouded with dusky atoms, forming a kind of oblique
streak in the females ; the hinder margin with an abbreviated bluish-black
fascia, in which are from four to six minute silvery spots, most numerous in
the females.

The male is sometimes entirely snow-white; and the markings in both sexes
vary considerably in intensity.

The caterpillar feeds on duckweed {Lemiia) and other aquatic plants ; it is of
an olive-brown, with a reddish-brown lateral stripe, the head small: it
changes into pupa in small elevated follicles constructed of the lemna by
itself, and in this it remains about a fortnight: the imago appears about the
middle of June, abundantly.

Extremely abundant in ditches and ponds where Lemna grows,
throughout the metropolitan district. " Cambridge."— C. C. Bahing-

Genus CCLXVI. — Parapoynx, Hiihner,

Palpi four, maxillary distinct, acute, remote ; labial approximating, ascending,
rather densely clothed with short scales, triarticulate, the terminal joint
nearly vertical, ovate-acute when denuded : maxilla: very short. Antennas
short, curved at the apex, somewhat denticulated in the males, simple in the
females : head small, smooth between the antennse : thorax rather stout :
wings placed in a triangle during repose, anterior elongate, somewhat
rounded on the hinder margin, the disc with transverse waved streaks, and
a subocellated spot ; posterior ovate-triangular, entire : abdomen moderate,
slender, with a small tuft at the apex in the males ; stouter and rather acute
in the females: legs moderately long and slender; posterior tibia with two
pair of spurs. Larva slender, with sixteen legs : found on aquatic plants.

From the three foregoing aquatic genera the present genus differs
so considerably in habit as at cnce to suggest the propriety of its
separation : without attending to the trifling variations of the trophi,
the form and markings of its wings will enable the reader to discrimi-
nate it, the hinder margin of the anterior being somewhat rounded,
and the disc transversely streaked with flexuous lines, and having in
the middle a blind ocellus.

Wings of the male white; anterior with brown atoms, an indistinct oblique
abbreviated darker streak on the inner margin, towards the base, and a
second more distinct repanded one behind the middle, between which is
placed a snow-white spot, edged with black : on the hinder margin is a
faint double fuscous line : posterior wings brighter, with a strong waved
interr\ipted dusky line behind the middle. Female with the anterior wings
narrower and more acute at the apex, and almost entirely of a pale reddish-
brown, without streaks, and the central white spot very small and indis-
tinct; posterior wings as in the male, but of a reddish-brown hue.

Also variable in the colour and intensity of the markings.

The caterpillar feeds chiefly on the Stratiotes, but it also attacks other
aquatic plants ; it is green, with a broad paler dorsal line, and varied with
whitish and yellow: the imago appears towards the end of June or
beginning of July.

Not unfrcqucnt in marshy places within the metropolitan district ;

Gekus CCLXVII. — PiiLYCT.ENiA, Hiibner.

Palpi ^owr; maxillary small, acute; labial elongate, horizontal, clothed with
elongate scales beneath, which nearly conceal the terminal joint, triarticu-
late, the apical joint rather short, acute : maxillas very long. Antennw rather
short, simple in both sexes, the terminal joints each with a fine minute pro-
jection at the tip : head small, tumid in front before the antennae : eyes
globose: Morcto: rather slender : wings placed in a triangle during repose,
anterior slightly acute at the apex, with the hinder margin obscurely emar-
ginate ; posterior ovate-triangular, also faintly emarginate on the hhider
margin; all of dark colours, with large pale blotches: abdomen rather
short, attenuated in the middle, with a small acute tuft at the apex, and
annulated : legs rather short ; posterior tibiae with two pair of spurs.
Larva slenderj with sixteen legs ; pupa folliculated.

The only indigenous species of this genus evidently differs from any
of the species of Margaritia to allow of its being associated therewith ;
and it likewise recedes sufficiently from the foregoing to authorize its
separation, a fact established by the conflicting opinions of authors
with regard to its location : it may be readily known by its dark
glossy wings, which have large blotches and interrupted streaks of a
pale hue, exclusively of the diversity in the structure of its trophi,
&c.

Wings brown ; anterior with a subquadrate yellowish-white spot in the
middle, a small triangular one behind it towards the inner margin, and a
larger ovate-triangular one adjoining towards the hinder margin : on the
costa behind the middle a repanded streak of whitish, or yellowish, spots
occurs, and, passing onwards to the inner margin behind the small triangular
spot, is carried on, as it were, more distinctly through the posterior wings
to their inner edge ; the posterior wings themselves have three large
whitish-yellow blotches within this striga, and all the wings have a more
or less distinct yellowish-white irregular streak on the hinder margin itself:
. cilia fuscous, Avhitish at the apex towards the anal angle.

The caterpillar feeds on the elder {Sambucus nigra); it is of a whitish-green
. with a slender pale green dorsal line, with a whitish one on each side ; the

Genus CCLXVIII. — Eudioptis, Huhner.

Palpi four ; maxillary minute, ascending ; labial densely clothed with elon-
gated compact scales, forming a large uniform compressed ovate mask, in
which the maxillae, which are very long, are concealed ; when denuded,
slender, ascending, closely applied to the face, triarticulate, the terminal
joint minute. AntenncE long and slender, simple in both sexes : head broad :
eyesXavge, subglobose: thorax ample: it'/«^5 entire, subhyaline ; anterior very
acute, obliquely truncate behind ; posterior triangular : abdomen elongate,
rather short in the males, with a tuft at the apex: legs long and slender;
posterior tibiae with two pair of spurs at the apex.

This very singular genus may be instantly recognized by the great
transparency of its pearly, acute, obliquely truncate wings, which
have the entire limb of a dark hue : the singular structure of its palpi
forms a conspicuous distinguishing character ; it being totally dissi-
milar to that of any of the allied genera, and not much unlike that of
the genus Prosoponia, amongst the Trichoptera: these organs,
although in themselves when denuded slender, forming a large ovate
projecting and compressed kind of mask, within which the elongate
maxillae lie concealed.

ing the terminal joint; basal joint minute, curved, second elongate, subcy-
lindric, apical ovate-subacute : maxilla: elongate. Antenna short, simple in
both sexes, pubescent beneath: head small, space between the antenns
clothed with rough scales : thorax rather stout, spotted : wings placed in a
triangle during repose ; anterior acute, with the hinder margin entire and
rounded ; posterior ovate-triangular entire ; all with the limb dark, the disc
spotted with dusky on a white ground: abdomen moderately long, annulated,
with a tuft at the apex : legs rather short, not very slender ; posterior tibia
with two pair of spurs. Larva naked, with sixteen legs : pupa inclosed in
a silken cocoon in a convoluted leaf.

The dark limb and spotted disc of the pale wings in Eurrhypara
will instantly enable the reader to detect the only indigenous species
of this genus, to which the yellow spotted thorax and abdominal
rings, as well as the black legs lineated with yellow, may be added,
exclusively of the less apparent diversities in the structure of the
palpi, Sic, and the general habit of the insect.

blotches at the base, a rounded one adjoining the costa about the middle,
followed by a repanded band of more or less confluent and dissimilar spots,
and a broad border on the hinder margins (faintly interrupted by pale ner-
vures), and the cilia blackish-brown ; posterior with a spot at the base, an
irregular bold waved streak behind the middle, and the hinder margin
blackish-brown, the latter denticulated inwardly with white; cilia blackish-
brown at the base, the tip silvery-white : head and thorax yellow ; abdomen

Genus CCLXX. — Mesographe, Hiibner.

Palpi four ; maxillary small^ conical ; labial depending, approximating at the
apex and resembling a beak, triarticulate, densely clothed with compact
scales, somewhat pilose beneath, the scales forming a cone, in which the
terminal joint is faintly visible from above; the apical joint is ovate-acute:
maxillcE elongate. Antenna: slender, simple in both sexes, pubescent
beneath : head small, with a small ridge of scales between the antennae :
eyes small : thorax slender : wings entire, forming a triangle during repose ;

the hinder margin obscurely emarginate; anterior marked with oblique
lines : abdomen rather short, slender, slightly tufted in the males, acute in
the females : leo^s moderate ; posterior tibiae with two pair of long spurs.

The depending, connivent palpi of Mesographe, exclusively of
the pecvdiar general habit of the only indigenous species of this
genus, distinguish it from the allied genera ; to which may be
added the form and structure of its wings, which are moreover
adorned with oblique darker lines upon a yellowish ground, unlike

margin, and sometimes connected by a fine zigzag line to the costa itself;
from the apical streak two less obliquely placed waved lines arise, and ter-
minate on the hinder margin : a little behind the middle of the wing
towards the costa is a conspicuous subannulated ustulated spot, which is
occasionally geminated : posterior wings whitish yellow, with a faint brown
streak, more or less distinct, and sometimes degenerated into a row of dots:

Genus CCLXXI.* — Makgaritia-j- mihi.

Palpi four; maxillary small; labial rather short, porrect, triarticulate, gene-
rally clothed with long scales, which terminate in an acute point, and conceal
the apical joint; the basal joint usually short, the second elongate, the
terminal ovate, sometimes acute : maxillcB nearly as long as the antennae.
Antennte slender, setaceous, as long as, or shorter than, the wings, simple,
pubescent beneath : head small, smooth between the antenns : eyes large,
globose : thoi^ax rather slender : tvings entire, more or less of a pearlaceous
hue; forming a triangle during repose; anterior sometimes very long and
slender, sublanceolate or oblong-triangular, with the hinder margin trun-
cate or rounded; posterior generally ovate-triangular: abdomen slender,
sometimes long and tufted in the males ; rather stouter and acute at the tip
in the females : legs generally long; occasionally very long, slender ; poste-
rior tibiffi with two pair of spurs. Larva with sixteen legs: pupa slender,
folliculated.

* In adopting this genus, as proposed in my Catalogue, I have continued
the name there given, as it neither corresponds with Scopula of Schrank, nor
with Botys of Latreille, the type of which latter genus, as established by the
last author in his Histoire Naturelle des Crust, et des Ins., v. iii. p. 414,
being Crambus erigatus, Fab. (probably Synaphe angustalis, supra p. 19),
and not Ph. Geo. purpuraria of Linne, as stated by Mr. Curtis in his remarks
upon the genus Scopula: Ph. purpurarm being given by Latreille, currente
calamo, in mistake for purpura^, rendered manifest by a comparison of his
characters with those of the two insects in question ; the true purpuraria,
— which is described by Latreille in vol. xiv. p. 222, and Botys purpuraria,
in p. 230 of the same vol. — neither agreeing with them, nor with the species
with which it is thus associated by Latreille, which Mr. Curtis would have
detected had he followed the principles laid down by himself under the genus
Pancalia, by reading the characters instead of merely looking at the names
of the species inserted by Latreille as constituting his genus Botys.

PYRAI.in.ft. MARGAIUTIA. 47

The species of this genus may be better known by the margarita-
ceous or pearly hues of their delicate mostly yellow, or pale straw-
coloured wings, which are in general rather faintly streaked with
transverse lines, than by the structure of the palpi, as the genus at
present stands.

The genus, as here regarded, is evidently a very artificial one, and
doubtless requires considerable curtailment, as well as a remodelling
of its contents. I have endeavoured, by means of external characters,
to resolve it into the Hitbnerian genera, with some slight modifica-
tions, as will be seen by a comparison of it with his arrangement, given
at the end of this volume.

larger and reniform ; on the extreme hinder margin is a row of minute
black dots ; cilia yellowish-brown ; posterior wings dull orange-yellow,
with an irregular interrupted dusky fascia on the hinder margin ; cilia dusky-

Wings ashy-yellow ; anterior very long and narrow, with a conspicuous some-
what quadrate pale spot towards the costa in the middle, bordered with
dusky and followed by a very flexuous denticulated fuscous streak midway
between it and the hinder margin, continued through the posterior wings ;
and followed by a narrow pale space ; the base of the anterior has an indis-
tinct dusky waved line, and the hinder margin is darker than the rest of the
wing, with the nervures pale, and on the extreme border are some dusky
lines ; on the posterior wings are some transverse lines towards the base ;
with a somewhat conspicuous pale spot adjoining the common streak, and
the hinder margin resembling that of the anterior wings; cilia of all the
wings dusky yellow, with paler clouds.

The caterpillar is said to feed on the water-parsnip (Sivm latifoliuni) : the

a nearly straight brownish streak before the middle, a longish dusky some-
what reniform line towards the costa in the middle, then a waved and very
flexuous streak, commencing on the costa midway between the line and the
hinder margin, very suddenly bent towards the anal angle and terminating
on the inner edge of the wing near the anterior streak ; the hinder margin is

clouded with brown ; cilia ashy-brown : posterior wings with a conspicuous
dusky spot towards the base, and two flexuous transverse fuscous streaks,
between it and the hinder margin, the latter clouded with abhy-brown ; cilia
pale ashy-straw colour.

Variable in the tint of the ground colour : in some specimens the wings are
deeply sufTused with ashy-brown, and partially clouded with a darker tint,
the strigae more distinct : one or other of the latter is sometimes obliterated.

The caterpillar is of a pale green and slender ; it feeds on nettles : the imago
appears the beginning of June, and continues for some time, occurring
towards the end of the month.

By far the most abundant species of this genus tliroughout the
metropolitan district, frequenting gardens, hedges (where nettles
abound), fields, Src, and not uncommon in other parts of the country.

Wings plain uniform ochraceous-yellow ; anterior with a faint incurved
brownish streak midway between the base and the middle, a lunate spot, of
the same tint, in the middle towards the costa, and a very flexuous striga
between it and the hinder margin, terminating nearly in the middle of the
inner margin; posterior wings with a brownish spot towards the base, and
an irregular streak in the middle, arising from the costa, opposite to (and
in continuation of, as it were) the posterior one of the anterior wings ; at
about one-third of its length it becomes suddenly angulated towards the
hinder margin, and upon reaching half way is then continued, in a zigzag
form, parallel thereto, for a short distance, and turns inwards with a similar
angle, and after a second bend, again at right angles with the last, terminates
on the inner edge : on the hinder margin is a very faint brownish line ; cilia
of all the wings immaculate ochry-yellow.

the stigmata of tha Noctuidte are two faint reddish-yellow spots, behind
which near the hinder margin are two obscure parallel darkish waved lines :
posterior wings whitish-yellow, with a brownish spot towards the base, a
waved striga nearly in the middle, vanishing on the inner edges, and a second
more regular one near the hinder margin; on the latter is a faint line, and
an interrupted row of spots at the base of the cilia ; the latter whitish-
yellow on all the whigs: beneath the whigs are paler, with broad transverse
brown fasciae and clouds, and the nervures faintly tinged with the same.
The wings vary considerably in tint, and are sometimes whitish and very

glossy, with the strigae obscure.
The caterpillar, according to Schrank, feeds on the broom {Spartium scopa-
rium) : the imago appears towards the end of June or beginning of July, and
frequents clover-fields and hedges.
Py. limbalis of the Wiener Verzeichniss is a different species, and having the
priority of name, that of the present insect must necessarily be changed: I
have therefore followed Treitschke.

Not uncommon in certain districts, especially near Darenth-wood
and at Ripley, where I have occasionally taken this species in abun-
dance. " Bath."" — C. C. Babingfoii, Esq. " Common in clover-

the basal joint short, second elongate, attenuated, terminal ovate-acute:
maxillcE very short. Antennce rather short, subacute within and pubescent
in the males; simple in the females: head small: eyes moderate; thorax
rather stout : luings eniire, placed in a triangle (!) during repose ; anterior
slightly dilated at the apex of the costa, the hinder margin rounded, cilia
ample, the surface marked with radiated or stellate light and dark lines ;

Anterior wings greyish-ash or pale olivaceous-brown, with some whitish
clouds, the costa palish at the base, the apex with short oblique black and
white streaks, behind the middle is a most singularly llexuous streak arising
on the costa and terminating in the middle of the inner margin, white
interiorly and black exteriorly, composed of numerous very sharply and
suddenly angulated lineolae, giving a radiated appearance to the wing;
behind this, on the hinder margin, is a row of short white lines, one in each
areolet ; cilia whitish-ash, interrupted with black streaks : posterior wings
ashy-brown, with an irregular, angulated, line behind the middle : cilia pale
ash.

In the collection of the late Mr. Haworth is a specimen of this
rare insect, taken near London, by Mr. Knight, and I possess one
taken several years since in Devonshire, not far from Tavistock.

Genus CCLXXIII. — Nola, Leach.

Palpi large, somewhat depending, robust, parallel, densely clothed with
elongate scales ; triarticulate, the basal joint short, incurved, second elon-
gate, a little smaller, terminal minute ovate : maxilla short. Antenna mo-
derate, with a fascicle of long scales at the base, simple in both sexes, pilose
beneath in the males : head small, clothed with rough scales : ei/es small :
thorax stoutish : wings entire, ample, anterior placed over the posterior
during repose, and forming a triangle, the disc with transverse streaks and
three elevated tufts of scales, placed longitudinally ; posterior ample, ovate-
triangular : abdomen short, stout in the female, with a small tuft at the
apex ; legs rather slender, moderate. Larva hairy, with fourteen legs :
pupa inclosed in a conical cocoon, truncate at one end.

This genus, which is synonymous with Roeselia of Uiibncr, but
whose adopted name has the priority, differs from the other Pyralidae
by having elevated tufts on the anterior wings, as in some of the
genera of the next family, by which they may be at once known,
without attending to the other characters : the larva is flat, pilose,

Py. strigulalis. H'ltbner. — No. strigulalis. Steph. Catal. ii. 168. A^o. 6840.

Anterior wings white, with ashy clouds, with a repanded somewhat denticu-
lated streak before the middle, and a second rather behind, the latter more
flexuous, and accompanied within by an ashy band,- behind these, on the
hinder margin, which is slightly dusky, is an obscure pale flexuous streak :
cilia whitish : posterior wings dusky-whitish, palest at the base, with a fine
lunular spot towards the middle : cilia whitish.

Caterpillar ochry-yellow or flesh-colour, with a blackish spot on the seventh
segment; head brown, with yellowish marks : it feeds on the oak: the
pupa is enclosed in a papyratious cocoon, truncate at one end : the imago
appears about the end of May or beginning of June.

Not very common ; found occasionally at Coombe and Darenth-
woods ; also in Yorkshire, Devonshire, and the New Forest.

Anterior wings hoary-brown, with dark clouds, an incurved and dentate fascia
near the base, a flexuous somewhat denticulated one behind the middle, and
behind this a row of obsolete black streaks, followed by an undulated palish
line; cilia hoary-ash, with some minute black dots at the base, and some
whitish lines : posterior wings and cilia immaculate brown.

This is to the foregoing species what my No. fuliginalis is to the following, and
I am very much inclined to suspect that it will prove a mere suffused variety
thereof.

Found but very rarely in the vicinity of London in June; at
Coombe and Colney Hatch woods : it has also been taken in other
parts.

Anterior wings ashy-white, the l)use deep brown or black, tainted by a darker
line, behind the middle is a dusky spot on the costa, from which arises a
more or less distinct flexuons streak, the hinder margin of the wing is
darker than the middle, and bears an obscure pale eroded streak : posterior
wings and cilia brown.

In the middle of the anterior wings is sometimes an obsolete streak.

Var. (3. No. fuliginalis. Steph. Catal. ii. 168. No. 6842.

Wings of a smoky-bluish, with the base, and a very obscure central line,
darker.

Caterpillar pilose, brown, with a row of whitish spots on the back : it feeds on
the apple and pear, sloe, whitethorn, mountain ash, &3. : the pupa is en-
closed in a silken cocoon ; and the imago appears towards the middle or
end of June.

Very abundant in gardens and hedges within the metropohtan
district ; found also in other parts of the country.

LEPIDOPTERA VESPERTINA;

Or those Lepidopterous Insects which may be known by the following
more or less evident characters : —

PaJpi sometimes two, triarticulate; short and somewhat compressed, conic,
the basal joint usually least, the intermediate one longest and frequently
dilated above, the terminal one short, and rather obtuse ; or elongate
slender, more or less reciu'ved, with the two apical joints of nearly equal
length, the termhial one being mostly aciculate ; sometimes four, the labial
triarticulated, elongate, and in general recurved ; the maxillary minute, or
slightly exposed; maxillce rather short, membranaceous, sometimes rudi-
mentary. Antennas usually short and simple, rarely pectinated or elongate,
though in one genus extremely long in the males : head small, squamous,
the scales occasionally very long and projecting over the frontlet : ej/es pro-
minent : thorax slender, rarely crested : wings either undivided and forming
a deflexed triangle during repose, or convoluted round the body, the poste-
rior alw^ays folded, or divided at the apex by one or more fissures, and ex-
panded during repose : body short and slender, with a small tuft at the apex
in the males, and acute and stouter in the females ; or elongate-cylindric,
acute at the apex: legs rather short, stoutish or slender; four posterior fasci
mostly with spurs at the apex.

64 H AUSTELL ATA. — LEPIUOPTEKA.

Larva various, with from fourteen to eigliteen legs, naked or pilose; either ex-
posed, or concealed within a convoluted leaf, or between the surfaces of one;
or in some few instances within the pith of plants, or in woollens, flannel,
and other stutFs, of which it forms its cocoon ; or the latter is placed in a
folliculus amongst its pabulum or beneath the earth: sometimes suspended,
after the manner of some of the Duima, with a slender thread.

This division is unquestionably the most numerous portion of this
beautiful order of insects, at least in these temperate regions ; the
groups of which it is composed differ considerably in appearance ;
nevertheless they may be recognised from the other sections by their
general habit : in some the anterior wings are broad, with the costal
margin more or less dilated at the base, the wings during repose in
these forming with the body a broad obtuse triangle, the rayed sides
being deflexed, accompanied generally with two short, horizontally
porrected, palpi; others have the anterior wings narrow and slender,
and while at rest convoluted round the body, with the palpi some-
times very short and depending, or elongate, slender, incurved, and
two in number : another group has four distinct, sometimes porrected,
palpi : others again have the wings cleft into plumeleto, varying in
number. It is therefore evident that, from these discrepancies of
form and structure, these insects require furtlier subdivision ; the
following families may consequently be formed therefrom, and may
be recognised by the annexed concise characters.

From the greater portion of the species appearing on the wing in
the evening, I have given them their present appellation ; though
many of them, especially those of brilliant metallic colours, delight in
flying in the full glare of sunshine, while some fly in the night, as
hereafter more particularly pointed out.

Family I.— TORTRICID/E mi/iL

Antenna short, inserted near the eyes on the crown, mostly simple, with
the inside faintly ciliated in some males, or slightly pectinated in both sexes.
Pafpi two, very rarely four, and then only rudimentary, short, compressed, the
intermediate joint usually dilated above, the terminal short, slender, obtuse,
the base generally thickly clothed with scales or pilose, the apical joint
mostly exposed: maxillee short: head small : ocelli two, sometimes wanting:
eyes small, globose : thorax rarely crested : wings undivided, entire, anterior
broad, forming a triangle, dilated on each side anteriorly during repose, and
very slightly deflexed ; posterior ovate-triangular, folded on their inner
edge during repose : bodt/ slender, short, with a small anal tuft in the males,
rather stouter in the females and somewhat obtuse : legs short. Larva
naked, with sixteen legs ; usually residing within a leaf, convoluted by
itself: pupa formed in a delicate folliculus withui the twisted leaf.

This beautiful and extensive family consists of a series of small
moths as remarkable from the great variation to which almost all the
species are subject, as from their peculiar aspect during repose, at
which time they sit with slightly deflexed wings, the outline of which
is not very dissimilar to that of a bell, being a short, broad triangle,
with the longer sides dilated anteriorly, or towards the shoulders of
the insect ; in habit there is consequently considerable resemblance
at first sight, but when more closely examined considerable diversity
becomes apparent, and the family may then be subdivided into
numerous genera, distinguished not only by the contour of the wings
and their markings, but by the variations in the structure of the palpi,
antennae, &:c. Nearly all the species, at least as far as known,
reside in their larva state within a leaf twisted, or convoluted, by the
larva itself, though some few reside within the pulpy substance of
fruits, or even the medulla of plants ; the caterpillar is usually naked,
slender, with sixteen legs, and is very active, running with great ra-
pidity either backwards or forwards.

Genus CCLXXIV. — Hvlophila, Hilbner.

Palpi short, remote, rather slender, somewhat divergent, pilose beneath, the
terminal joint visible; basal joint very short, reniform, second rather atte-
nuated to the apex, apical nearly as long, and more slender, slightly acute.
Antenna simple in both sexes, slender at the base, a little thickened towards
the apex, and with the joints slightly produced and pilose within, the apex
slender and simple : head small, with a dense fascicle of hairs between the

antennae : ei/es deeply immersed, globose : thorax stout, pilose, not crested :
wings deflexed, anterior elongate-triangular, faintly rounded at the base of
the costa, on the hinder margin; plain, with simple transverse pale oblique
lines : posterior ovate-triangular, snbdiaphanous : body rather stout, and
acute at the apex, with a very small tuft at the apex in the males, and cari-
nated on the back in the females : legs short, slender. Caterpillar free,
robust, fleshy, naked, subcylindric, a little attenuated to the tail, with
sixteen legs : pupa enclosed in an exposed cocoon, one end of which has
frequently a conical protuberance.

Adhering strictly to the rules of nomenclature, the insects of the
present genus should be considered as constituting the genus Tortrix,
inasmuch as the first Linnean species of that grovip is included
therein ; nevertheless, as that name is so totally inapplicable here, I
have retained it to Ph. To. viridana and its congeners, and have
adopted the name employed by Hiibner in preference to that of
Treitschke (Halias), both on the score of priority, and to avoid the
confusion by using a word far too similar to Halia, although
recently adopted by Mr. Curtis: — the present insects may be known
by their comparatively gigantic size, combined with their beautiful
green anterior wings, which have one or more pale oWique streaks
thereon.

Anterior wings green, with the costa and three oblique streaks white, the
posterior streak leading from the apex: thorax green, with four white
streaks : antennae fulvous. Male with the costa of the anterior wings at
the apex and the hinder margin, cilia, and inner margin, more or less bright
red; posterior wings yellowish white; abdomen the same : female with the
same parts of the anterior wings, and the posterior wings entirely glossy
white.

Var. — Male with the base and apex of the anterior wings green, the centre
with a broad ochraceous-yellow fascia.

Both sexes vary considerably in the intensity of colour, and the middle of
each space between the streaks on the upper wings is paler than the edges ;
sometimes broadly white.

Caterpillar pale yellowish-green, with a yellow lateral line and minute dark
specks, and two red lines at the tail : it feeds on the oak, ash, alder, beech,
&c.; pupa reddish brown, sprinkled with an ashy powder, inclosed in a finn
silken cocoon : the imago appears in June.

with a yellowish tinge : posterior pure glossy white : antenna, palpi and
legs red.

The streaks on the anterior wings are occasionally a little waved.

Caterpillar green, with a lateral yellowish line, the second segment with a
dorsal tubercle : it feeds on the oak, alder, &c.: the pupa is pale green,
with a black dorsal line: the imago appears about the middle of June.

Much rarer than the foregoing species ; found throughout the

Genus CCLXXV.— Eaius, Hiibner.

Palpi short, ascending, parallel, densely clothed with short compact scales,
terminal joint somewhat horizontally porrccted ; basal joint short, second
rather stouter and elongate, third short, ovate-acute : vKuilla a littl
elongate. Antenna; simple in both sexes, faintly pubescent beneath in the
males : head rather broad, with depressed scales between the antennte : eyes
large, globose: thorax rather short, not crested: unngs short, anterior
broad triangular, straight at the base, plain with pale margins ; posterior
ample, ovate-triangular, somewhat diaphanous : body slender, obtuse, with,
a small tuft at the apex : legs short. Caterpillar free, convex, attenuated
at both ends, with sixteen legs ; head small : pupa subconic, enclosed in a
firm cocoon, with a conical apex.

In my Catalogue I associated the present genus with the following,
and it has also been attached to the foregoing, but it evidently belongs
to neither : in the habit of the larva and pupa it is allied to the last,
the larva being exposed, that is, not resident in a twisted leaf, and
the pupa is placed in a firm cocoon, but the imago is manifestly
more allied to Tortrix, from which it chiefly differs in the structure of
the palpi and in having the wings entirely of uniform colours, with

pale margins.

short, reniform, second elongate, tumid, terminal short, obtuse: maxillw
almost rudimentary. Antennae short, simple, with a delicate pubescence

These insects are of plain uniform colours, without fasciae, streaks
or borders, whence the name Aphelia applied to them by Hiibner;
they are generally green or yellow, of moderate size, and closely
resemble in external form and habit the genus Earis, from which,
however, their subhorizontal, or deflexed palpi, distinguish them,
without taking into consideration other characters, or the diversity of
their metamorphoses.

entire, anterior elongate-triangular, with the hinder margin more or les's

rather short, slender, with a conspicuous tuft at the apex in the males, rather
stouter, and somewhat obtuse in the females : legs short. Larva residing
in a convoluted leaf, or in the buds of flowers, in which it changes to pupa.

The insects of this genus, which is rather an extensive one, are
usually of a brown hue, with red or yellowish tints, and in all cases
have their anterior wings adorned with one or more darker oblique
lines or bands, sometimes irregular, at others regular, while some
have the addition of darker clouds ; by these signs they may be
known from the allied genera; amongst them are some of the largest
species of the family, some vieing in expanse with the Hylophihx?,
but unlike those insects they have the abdomen slender. There is
considerable diversity of appearance between the species, which has
induced Hlibner to divide them into genera, as I have attempted to
exhibit.

is an ovate dark blotch on the costa : the surface is sometimes faintly reti-
culated : posterior wings dark fuscous, with the cilia fulvcscent.
Slightly variable in colour, and greatly so in size. Caterpillar feeds on the
nut, birch, oak, &c.: the imago appears in June.

Found more frequently than the last, but fur from a common
species ; it occurs in Darcnth and Birch woods, and also near Hert-
ford : it is the largest of the legitimate Tortricidie.

Anterior wings retuse, testaceous-brown, faintly reticulated with brown,
with a somewhat waved conspicuous darker fascia at the base, a second
oblique one, dentate within, arising in the middle of the costa, and termi-.
nating near the anal angle, where it becomes rather widened ; between this
and the hinder margin is an ovate brownish spot on the costa; posterior
wings brown.

Variable. — In some examples the wings are much darker, or of a dull red,
with the markings very indistinct : others are much paler or testaceous,
with indistinct minute darker transverse lines on the hinder margin, and the
fascia very obscure : others again have the fascia remarkably distinct and
clear, with the groimd colour of the wings pale testaceous : they also vary
much in size.

Caterpillar feeds on the hazel, nut, oak, &c.

Extremely abundant in woods and shrubby places within the me-
tropolitan district in June and the beginning of July ; frequent also
in other parts of the country. " Newcastle." — G. Wa'des, Esq.

waved testaceous-brown streak at the base, an oblique fascia of similar hue
in the middle, dentate anteriorly on the disc, and a small acute patch of the
same towards the apex of the costa; posterior wings brownish.

Variable in colour; closely resembling Lo. Ribeana, but known from that
species by having the central fascia on the anterior wings dentate or waved
in the middle of its anterior edge, as in Lo. heparana, from which it differs
in not being reticulated with brown, &c.

Caterpillar feeds on the gooseberry and currant : the imago appears in June.

Anterior wings retuse testaceous-yellow, prettily reticulated with dark cinna-
mon colour, with three oblique, nearly equidistant darker streaks, and a
fourth short one on the costa near the apex ; cilia fulvous-orange : posterior
wings flavescent, with the base brownish; the apex occasionally reticulated
with ferruginous.

Like its congeners this species is variable : in some cases the base of tha
anterior wing to the first streak, and the space between the two posterior
streaks is sometimes dusky : the posterior wings are occasionally entirely
fuscous, and sometimes nearly all yellowish.

In the males the head and palpi are paler than in the females.

The caterpillar feeds on the ash, birch, and hazel : it is green, with black
dots : the imago appears at the end of June or beginning of July.

This species is likewise rather uncommon ; it occurs, nevertheless,
in all the usual collecting places within the metropolitan district, and
in Devonshire and the New Forest.

darker fascia in the middle, and a small spot towards the base of the inner
margin of similar hue: the costa between the fascia and the hinder margin
is whitish, and the cilia are yellowish-red : posterior wings dusky-brown.

Extremely variable in size, and slightly so in colour, and in the intensity of its
markings.

Caterpillar feeds on the bads of the rose, and is very destructive in gardens,

despoiling them of their beauty : the imago appears about the middle of

June.

Not uncommon in hedges and gardens within the metropohtan
district ; in my own garden I have found it a perfect pest, from the
havoc its larva creates among the rose-trees.

the middle, terminating in a larg-e blotch on the inner margin, and a small
spot towards the apex of the costa all fuscous : posterior wings brownish,
with the apex broadly luteous-orange.

The wings are more or less light testaceous, and have the fascife more or less
obscure; sometimes almost obliterated, at others very intensely marked:
the posterior wings are occasionally without the orange tint at the apex.

The caterpillar feeds on the rose, bramble, raspberry, &c. ; and the imago
appears towards the end of June.

Also common in gardens and hedges in the vicinity of the metro-

Extremely variable: in some examples the anterior wings are entirely suffused

with a deep smoky brown tinge, with the usual markings slightly expressed,

the posterior wings fuscous, with a slight luteous or coppery tint on the

apex ; intermediate varieties occur.
Caterpillar feeds on the bramble, and also on the rose, to which it is sometimes

very destructive in gardens, abounding at times in my own garden: the

imago appears about the middle of June.

This conspicuous and beautiful species is not very abundant ; it
occurs, however, in some places within the metropolitan district in
plenty, especially in my own garden, where I have captured some ex-
traordinary varieties.

clouded with the same : posterior wings ashy-brown, with the apex of an
orange tint. Female very dissimilar, the anterior wings griseous, with an
obscure fasciaeform brown blotch in the middle, the apex with a faint streak
of the same.

In some examples the wings are almost entirely suffused with a deep smoky
brown, with the usual markings deeper ; the posterior wings attimes without
the slightest tint of orange at the apex.

The caterpillar of this insect also feeds upon the rose, raspberry, &c.: the
imago appears in gardens towards the end of June.

brown blotch towards the base of the inner margin, an irregular oblique
fascia of the same in the middle, somewhat dentate on the disc and dilated
towards the inner margin into a large blotch, on the costa midway between
the origin of the fascia and the hinder margin is an oblong-ovate brown
patch, from which a narrow streak, placed obliquely, arises, and terminates
in a point near the middle of the hinder margin: posterior wings fuscous,
with a slight lutcous tinge on the apex.

The caterpillar feeds on the whitethorn, and the imago appears at the end of
June.

This is evidently a rare species : it has occurred within the metro-
politan district, but is rather more abundant near Brockenhurst, in
the New Forest.

margin is a short, somewhat conica brown streak ; the hinder margin itself

has also a brownish edge, and the cilia are slightly tinted with gold colour:

the posterior wings are brown.
Variable in colour, and in the intensity of the markings ; in some instances the

latter are rather interrupted, and the whitish border is wanting.
The caterpillar feeds on the oak, whitethorn, and honeysuckle (^Lonicera Xy-

losieum) : the imago appears at the end of June or beginning of July.

Very common in some woods in the vicinity of London, especially
at Darenth ; also found in tlie neighbourhood of Hertford, and in

Anterior wings retuse, scarcely caudate, ochrey-testaceous, with a large
distinct brown spot on their irmer margin near the base; a large blotch of
the same behind the middle, remote from the costa, and placed obliquely,
and beyond this on the costa near the apex a patch of the same, produced
into an attenuated streak, which reaches nearly to the middle of the hinder
margin ; these marks arc sometimes slightly edged with a satiny-white
border : cilia fuscous.

Caterpillar feeds on the oak : the imago appears at the beginning of July.

Slightly variable in colour and markings.

Treitschke gives this as the male of the foregoing species, but I cannot agree
with him in that respect, inasmuch as both sexes of each occur, and the
males of this are as large as the females of the former.

ployed to designate the present genus, which may be known from its
aUies by having the antennae strongly pectinated in the males and
faintly so in the females ; the anterior wings, like Lozotaenia, have a
transverse oblique fascia beyond the middle, and a cloud or spot on
the costa ; they are also slightly excised towards the tip of the costa,
and the hinder margin is very obliquely truncate.

Anterior wings flavescent, obscurely reticulated with tawny, with a broad
oblique chocolate-brown fascia rather beyond the middle, well defined
anteriorly, but shaded off posteriorly to the hinder margin, with a rather
distinct streak of yellowish on the costa, having a brown spot at the apex :
posterior wings fuscous.

The base of the anterior wings is sometimes brownish.

Not found, I believe, within the metropolitan district, the nearest
locahty I am aware of being the neighbourhood of Birmingham,
where the insect has been taken in profusion, in June : it has also
occurred in other parts of the north of England, and in Scotland.

slightly elongate, tumid above, terminal slender acute, rather depending :
maxilla short. Antennae simple in both sexes, slightly pubescent within in
the males : head rather broad : eijes large : thorax rather stout, with a bifid
crest behind : wings slightly deflexed during repose ; anterior somewhat
rounded on the hinder margin, the disc variegated, and adorned with
irregular oblique fasciae and clouds; sometimes abbreviated; posterior
ovate-triangular : hodii rather slender, with a short tuft at the apex in the
males, rather stouter and acute in the females, with a short l)ifid tuft: legs
short, posterior longest.

The insects of this genus resemble the two preceding by having
the anterior wings marked with obhque bands or lines, but from
those they may be known by having the thorax crested behind, the
crest long and bifid, whence the name I have applied to them : the
genus is decidedly not synonymous with Thiratcs of Treitschke, as
given by iVIr. Curtis, the type of that genus being Padisca profun-
dana.

No. 6882.

Anterior wings oblong narrow, obtuse, of a smoky-testaceous hue, with an
obscure oblique brownish streak or spot at the base towards the irmer
margin ; a waved broader streak, of similar colour, arising from a palish
blotch on the costa, and reaching to the anal angle ; beyond which on the
costa is a short ustulated brown one, widest on the costa and narrowing
towards the hinder margin, which is faintly variegated with some palish
lines : posterior wings dusky or black.

The male is smaller, of a deeper hue, sometimes blackish-brown, with very
dark, nearly black, markings.

Extremely variable in size, and in the strength and intensity of its colours and
markings.

A very common insect throughout the metropolitan district ; taken
also not uncommonly in other parts of the country ; I have caught
it near Dover, Brighton, Ramsgate, Cambridge, lMonk''s-wood, &c.:
it likewise occurs in Devonshire and the New Forest.

a tuft at the apex in the males, rather obtuse and stout in the females : Itgs
rather short and slender:

In the synoptic list of the Tortricidae published by Treitschke, in
his 7th vol., he gives a genus nearly corresponding with the present
by the name Penrfina (a typographical error for Pcnth'ma, as cor-
rected in his subsequent volume) with Pe. salicana as the type ; but
when he proceeds to characterize it in his 8th vol., he introduces To.
revayana, Wieii. Verz. (the genus Sarrothripus) for the type, as
section A, consequently his name becomes obsolete, and a new appel-
lation is required ; I have therefore continued the one published in
my Catalogue, in allusion to the contrasted colours with which all the
species are so prettily adorned ; the anterior wings being either black
at the base with white, variegated or spotted, tips, or black with the
inner margin, except at the apex, white, spotted with black.

with some dusky spots : posterior wings fuscous.

The anterior wings vary slightly; in some examples the white on the apex
is immaculate ; in others it is entirely suffused with ochraceous, and more
than usually clouded ; but all the varieties may be known from the fore-
gohig by having the termination of the dark basal cloud extending obliquely
to the anal angle of the wing, whereas in An. corticana this part terminates
less obliquely, and does not extend to the angle.

Anterior wings varied or clouded on the costa with black and fuscous, with
scattered darker dots and whitish spots ; the inner margin nearly to the
apex snowy white, also with a few black dots, and a larger spot of the same
colour at the base : posterior wings black or brown : head and thorax snow
white, with black spots.

The caterpillar robust, brownish, with black head and small white dots: it
feeds on various species of willow : the imago appears towards the end
of July or the beginning of August.

Not common; found in Battersea-fields, and in the vicinity of

Genus CCLXXXI. — Spilonota* mihi.

Palpi short, porrected nearly horizontally, subclavate, densely clothed with
elongate compact scales, the apical joint not slender, exposed : maxillw
short. Antenna simple in both sexes, slightly pubescent within in the males :
head small, with a tuft of scales between the antemiise: eyes small, globose :
thorax subovate, not crested behind : wings deflexed during repose ; anterior
rather narrow, rounded behind, the extreme costal apex with a small circular
mark, colours generally dark on the base and costa, the inner margin with a
white blotch in the middle, and sometimes a second ; posterior ovate-trian-
gular, dark : abdomen rather short, stoutish, with a small tuft at the apex in
the males, obtuse in the females, and faintly tufted : legs short, posterior
longest.

The species of this pretty genus are all characterized by having the
wings dark at the base and apex, and mostly also on the costa, with a
more or less extensive conspicuous white blotch in the middle of the
inner margin, but they differ from Pseudotomia, which also possesses
an internal (or dorsal) blotch by being deficient of the false cleft on
the hinder margin of the anterior wings, which forms so conspicuous a
character in those insects, and the dorsal blotch in them is rarely
white, being usually of a yellowish or golden tint : the wings are also
of dissimilar form, being narrower in proportion to their length than in
the Pseudotomiae.

Extremely variable in the tint of the anterior wings ; the ground-colour behig
sometimes pure white, at others cream-colour, or pale ash, occasionally
dusky-ash or fuscous, or even blackish ; but in all the varieties the disc is
minutely streaked with irregularly waved dusky or black lines ; and in some
instances there is an abbreviated fascia in the middle of the costa.

Anterior wings brown, rather thickly streaked transversely with irregularly-
waved black lines, and a little clouded with ashy-white towards the base
and the extreme apex of the hinder margin ; in the middle of the inner
margin is an irregular white blotch in which are two parallel waved
brownish lines; on the shoulder is a small rounded white dot, and on the
costa towards the apex are three pair of short white streaks placed rather
obliquely: on the extreme hinder margin is a fine black line: the base of

Anterior wings black-brown, slightly clouded, with a large irregularly qua-
drangular white blotch in the middle of the inner margin, in which is a black
dot, or sometimes two, on the margin itself: adjoining the anal angle is also
a second blotch of a whitish-ash, but not very conspicuous ; in this are four
or five deep black dots, placed transversely : on the tip of the costa are from
four to six short white lines, placed in pairs and rather obliquely : posterior
wings deep black, cilia ashy, with a dark line at the base.

Variable in size, and slightly in markings, the geminated pale lines at the apex
of the costa being sometimes almost obliterated, and the ashy spot on the
anal angle of the anterior wings more or less suffused with the ground
colour of the wings so as to become inconspicuous.

Not common; found at the end of July in the vicinity of London,
in hedges : I have taken it in the lanes in the neighbourhood of Oak
of Honour wood, Peckham, and in August last at Coombe wood.

Genus CCLXXXII.— Heusimene, Hiihner?

Palpi short, parallel, clavate, densely clothed with ovate scales, elongate be-
neath, the terminal joint not exposed : maxilla very short. Antenna simple
in both sexes, faintly pubescent within in the males; head with a small tuft
of short scales between the antenna : eijes small, lateral : thorax rather
broad, not crested: irmo-j deflexod during repose ; anterior elongate, straight
on the costa, the hinder margin somewhat rounded, with a faint notch

towards the costa dark-coloured, the inner margin witii an obscure pale
blotch; posterior elongate-ovate, pale, with a dark border: Aoi^/y short,
slender, with a small tuft at the apex in tiie males, rather obtuse in the
females : legs rather short and slender.

From the insects of the preceding genus the present differs in
having the anterior wings long and slender, with a faint notch
towards the costa on the hinder margin ; like those insects there is a
palish blotch on the inner margin, but unlike them their posterior
wings are pale, Avith a dark border, as in some of the insects of the
following genus, from which these may be distinguished by having the
wings narrower and destitute of a conspicuous pale blotch, as well by
having the terminal joint of the palpi concealed, that part being
exposed in Pseudotomia.

Anterior wings brown, clouded with ashy, with a very obscure ashy lunule in
the middle of the inner margin, in which is a very obsolete fuscous streak ;
costa marked with minute alternate whitish and black dots ; cilia ashy,
clouded with brown : posterior wings whitish-ash, with a brown border.

The lunule in the middle of the inner margin of the anterior wings is sometimes
scarcely visible.

Very rare : I once found a few specimens in March at Coombe
wood, flying in the afternoon.

Genus CCLXXXIII. — Pseudotomia* 77iihi.

Palpilonger than the head, porrected horizontally, slightly ascending, densely
clothed with scales, which are produced into a triangular mass, of which
the extreme joint of the palpi forms the apex ; this joint is scarcely visible
before denudation. Antennce short, simple in both sexes, a little thickened
and faintly pubescent within in the males: head small, with a crest of scales
between the antennae : eyes large, globose : thorax small, not crested : wings
entire, deflexed during repose ; anterior rather long, somewhat linear, with
a line at the apex of the hinder margin, which gives the appearance of a
cleft (see pi. 37, fig. 2), the inner margin frequently with a blotch of pale

yellow or white in the middle; posterior wings ample, ovate-triangular:
legs short and slender.

The chief peculiarity of the insects which I have here associated
together consists of the appearance of a cleft on the hinder margin of
the anterior wings, near the costa : it appears to arise from a defi-
ciency of the scales at that part : many other of the Tortricidae
possess a rounded spot at the apex of the costa, but in those the
hinder margin of the wings does not appear to be cleft or varied in
outhne, at least so conspicuously as in these insects : they also agree
in having the pale blotch or rudiments thereof, on the inner margin,
■which adorns the species of the two former genera, but the outline of
the wings at once removes them therefrom, as well as the dissimilarity
in the palpi.

and an indistinct dorsal blotch : — Eudemis, p. H'vbner.

posed of two parallel lines, the extreme hinder margin with a slender black
line : cilia fuscous, with black tips : posterior wings fuscous, cilia paler.

Genus CCLXXXIV. — Steganoptycha* miki.

Palpi longer than the head, porrected horizontally, clavate, densely clothed

with scales, the terminal joint exposed acute: maxillcB short. Antenna:

simple in both sexes, faintly pubescent within in the males : head small,

subglobose, with a rounded mass of scales between the antennse : eyes small:

thorax not crested : wings entire, anterior somewhat linear-triangular ; the

base straight, and in the males reflected, with an elongate fascicle of hairs,

usually concealed, but capable of expanding like a fan ; colours generally

sombre, with a deeper band at the base, and a tendency to a pale blotch in

the middle of the inner margin ; hinder margin slightly indented near the

costa; posterior wings rather ample, faintly emarginated at the apex:

abdomen rather long and slender : legs short and slender.

The males of this genus, at least in the typical species, are well

characterized by the peculiar process of hairs, which, during repose,

lies concealed beneath the reflected base of the anterior wings, and

which is capable of being extended in the form of a fan ; but both

sexes have the anterior wings very narrow, of sombre hues, and very

faintly emarginate on the hinder margin ; the head is somewhat

globose, the thorax simple.

angle, which latter, as well as a faint blotch in the middle of the inner
margin, is whitish-ash : cilia ashy, palest at the anal angle : posterior wings
brownish ; cilia palish.

Rarer than the foregoing, of which I think it likely to be a variety
of the female, or perhaps the usual state of that sex, knowing but
two examples which exactly correspond with each other : it is found
in June at Darenth wood.

margin, followed by a large somewhat quadrate common whitish-ash blotch,
and a more obscure one on the anal angle, in which are usually some trans-
verse black lines : on the costa are some whitish streaks, and its extreme
tip has a round red spot: posterior whigs brown.

Extremely vaiiable in colour: in some instances the wings are nearly of a
plain dull red, with the ordinary markings indicated of a deeper hue, or
nearly obliterated: at others, the colours arc prettily contrasted, and the

blotch on the middle of the inner margin of the anterior wings approaches
to a snowy white : again, the oblique costal streaks are occasionally absent,
or very strong and elongated: the black ones on the anal speculum are
frequently very apparent.

An abundant insect in hedges near woods, within the metropolitan
district, especially near Darenth in June.

Anterior wings slightly caudate, pale red, with a fascia of a deeper hue on the
base of the inner margin, shading off towards the costa, and bordered on
its straight posterior edge with a white line ; costa prettily streaked with
oblique white lines, the apex slightly recurved, with a brownish-red dot;
the anal angle of the hinder margin has a faint ashy patch : cilia reddish-
brown : posterior wings rather dark fuscous.

Not uncommon in June in the woods within the metropolitan dis-
trict, especially in those of Kent.

Genus CCLXXXVI. — Anchylopera* mihi.

Palpi longer than the head, porrected nearly horizontally ; clothed with elon-
gate scales, which leave the terminal joint visible, the latter small conic,
elongate and slender when denuded: maxUlae short. Antennoe simple,
densely scaly : head small, with a tuft between the antennae : eyes rather
large, globose : thorax slender, not crested : wings entire ; anterior elongate,
falcate, and the costa in some species slightly waved ; marked in general
with an undulated longitudinal streak ; posterior faintly eniarginate on the
hinder margin : abdomen slender, tufted at the apex in the males, slightly
acute in the females : legs rather short and stout.

Although the insects of this pretty genus, which nearly cor-
responds with Ancylis of Hiibner, may in general be recog-
nised by having the anterior wings more or less falcate, there are
other genera of this family which possess that character ; but from
these the present insects may be at once known by the generality of
them having the wings adorned with pale longitudinal waved or
curved lines, sometimes intersecting the wing with two discolorous
surfaces, at others a broken longitudinal series of streaks only exists.

vanishes towards the anal angle in the ground colour of the apex of the
wing, which is pale tawny ; at the base on the inner margin is a large sub-
triangular common ustulated chestnut blotch, and in the middle of the costa
arises a pale golden streak very obliquely placed, so as almost to become
parallel with the costa ; it is bent at a rather acute angle near the apex, and
extends from thence to the inner edge of the wing, near the anal angle :
beyond this line on the costa are some very short silvery streaks : the
extreme hinder margin is pale, and the cilia the same, except at the costa,
where they are fulvous: posterior wings brown.

The name Phoxopteris (the type of which genus is To. lanceolana,
Hiibner, probably a Carpocapsa,) has been applied by Mr. Curtis,
in his Guide, to the pretty insects I have here brought together ;
but the above name is employed by Treitschke for the preceding
genus, with the exceptmi of the typical species above referred to,
so that the name is perfectly inapplicable here; and as the genus
does not correspond with either of Hlibner's, I have been compelled to
propose a new appellation for it : the species of which it is composed
may be readily known by having the anterior wings of pale colours,
clouded or fasciated with dark or black, and the anterior angle of the
hinder margin slightly falcate, as in Anchylopera.

Anterior wings with a livid black fascia at the base, the costa and hinder
portion of the wing also black, faintly varied with white, and having a large
blotch of the last colour on the inner margin of the wing about the middle,
in which on the extreme edge is a small black dot, near the anal angle is a
roundish white spot, and the black at the base is sometimes banded with
white : on the costa l)ehind the middle are three or four pair of oblique
white streaks, the extreme tip of the wing has a rounded brownish spot^
adjoining to which is a white dash, as in the Pseudotomia; : cilia brown,
white at the anal angle : posterior wings brownish.

Anterior wings black, sometimes atrous, from the base nearly to the middle,
followed by a snow-white band, waved, or angulated, at the base, then
another, frequently abbreviated, in the middle of the costa, black or dusky ;
beyond this the wing is ashy-white, varied, with the margin itself darker,
and with a round brown dot on the costal apex : posterior wings brown.
Not uncommon, in June, at Darenth-wood, and other places within

the metropolitan district.

an ashy ground, the apex itself bears a roimd brown spot, imperfectly edged
with black : on the disc towards the apex is a small black dot, placed lon-
gitudinally : posterior wing fuscous.

Extremely variable, some examples are almost entirely suffused with brown,
in others the white predominates, and all the intermediate grades occur.
Found in August within the metropolitan district, abundantly in

some places, especially at Darenth wood.

Anterior wings white, clouded and streaked with black, the streaks being
placed very obliquely on the costa, the apex of the latter with a varied
brown dot: near the base of the inner margin is a distinct, conspicuous,
conical or lunate blackish-brown patch and an indistinct brownish one near
the anal angle : posterior wings brown.

Remarkably variable : in extreme varieties, the costa alone is white, with its
usual dark streaks, and the entire inner margin is black or deep fuscous,
with a faint tracing of the blotches at ihs base and anal angle : all the inter-
mediate shades occur.

Inhabits woods where plenty of birch occurs, as at Darenth, Birch
wood, Coombe, &c. in June: the dark varieties are rare.

Anterior wings white, more or less clouded with ash-colour, and a few dusky
dots, somewhat disposed in streaks on the costa; near the base of the inner
margin is an oblique black line, pointing towards the apex, and common to
both wings ; this is bounded towards the base with a large fuscous blotch,

Anterior wings very obtuse, whitish, very thickly sprinkled with minute bluish
dots and streaked with the same on the costa; the hinder portion of the
wings is brownish, with a very obsolete silvery spot on the speculum, in
which are some minute black lines ; at the apex is a rounded brown dot :
posterior wings brownish.

I suspect this insect may prove to be a large and suffused variety of the pre-
ceding species, which it very much resembles, excepting in colour, and in the
anterior wings being more retuse at the apex.
Not common ; found at Darenth in July.

An extremely variable insect : in general the anterior wings are of a testaceous
brown, with darker streaks and clouds, with a conspicuous rectangular
whitish fascia a little before the middle, varying in width ; towards the apex
is another but more obscure one, placed obliquely and faintly marked with
silvery spots near the anal angle, adjoiinng to which are three or four black
longitudinal streaks: the costa is prettily streaked with oblique white lines,
and at the extreme tip is a brown dot, edged with black; cilia brown:
posterior wings fuscous.

Some examples are entirely suffused with fuscous, with the usual markings
very indistinctly traced : others are brownish, or pitchy, or nearly black,
and all intermediate shades are found ; while in some, which are pale testa-
ceous-brown, the markings are scarcely visible ; in fact, two examples hardly
occur precisely alike.
I suspect this species feeds on the elm : it is abundant where that

tree is found, and is in plenty within the metropolitan district

throughout the summer. " Gibside." — G. Wailes, Esq. " Rac-

Genus CCLXXXVIIL— Roxana mihl.

Palpi longer than the head^ compressed, ascending, densely clothed with loose
scales, subclavate, the terminal joint minute, exposed : maxilla short.
Antenna rather long, slender, pubescent within in the males, simple in the
females : head small, with a tuft of loose scales between the antennae and
on the crown : et/es globose : thorax faintly crested behind : wings deflexed
during repose, anterior elongate-triangular, rounded on the hinder margin,
the disc with pencilled metallic markings on a dark ground; posterior
ovate-triangular, entire : bodi/ rather long, slender, with a largish tuft at the
apex. in the males, and a small one in the females; the back in both sexes
with a ridge : legs short, posterior longest and stoutest.

The only indigenous species of this genus, which forms a portion
of the genus Eucosma of Hubner, may be distinguished by its
markings alone from any other of the Tortricidae, exclusively of the
slight diversity in the structure of its trophi, &c. : it has been
included in the genus Carpocapsa, but from the typical species it
differs in having the palpi rather differently constructed, in reposing
■with its wings deflexed, and in having the hinder margin of the
anterior ones rounded, with the disc more or less transversely pen-
cilled with metallic lines, on a dark ground.

Catal. ii. 180. No. 6984.

Anterior wings luteous-brown, with three short silvery or lead-coloured
streaks, placed longitudinally at the base, then a transverse curved one
before the middle, followed by a short one on the costa, a larger one near
the apex, and a fourth very short, almost at the tip ; between the second
and fourth streaks is a pale creamy-white blotch, with an irregular black
patch spotted with silver, and bordered near the anal angle with a short
silvery line : posterior wings deep fuscous.

The wings vary slightly in tint, and the silvery markings are sometimes rather
confluent at the base, and vary in width, as well as a little in form.

Found amongst hazels and oaks, at the end of June, at Coombe
and Darenth woods, and in other places within the metropolitan
district.

TORTRICID.E. CARPOCAPSA. 119

Gp:n'L's CCI. XXXIX. — Carpocapsa, V'reituckke.

Palpi longer than the head, ascending, subclavate, densely clothed with short
compact scales, the terminal joint exposed and porrected longitndinally :
maxilhe short. Aniennw short, slender, rather stoutest in the males, simple
in both sexes: head transverse, small, densely clothed above with compact
fine scales : eyes large, globose: thorax stout, not crested: wing-* slightly
convoluted during repose; anterior broad, elongate-triangular, hinder
margin with a faint emargination near the anterior angle ; the disc, with a
more or less distinctly marked metallic ring or ocellus, having three or more
black streaks in the pupil, placed near the posterior angle ; posterior wings
larger, ovate-triangular, slightly eniarginatcd towards the apex ; Ixxh/ rather
stout, with a tuft at the apex in the males, obtuse in the females : legs
short.

This genus requires considerable revision ; the three first species
form the true Carpocapsae of Treitschke — Cydia of Huhner — the
remainder are mostly included in the genus Graph olitha of Trciti^chke,
and constitute other genera of Iliibner, as indicated hereafter : from
the preceding genera of this family they may, however, be known, by
the anterior wings being more conspicuously adorned, near the anal
angle, with an oval spot, usually metallic, and marked within with
a few black transverse dashes ; the hinder margin is faintly notched
or falcate towards the apex.

Anterior wings ashy-brown, with very numerous, rather obscure darker
transverse streaks, \mited into a broadish fascia towards the base ; on the
anal angle is a large blind subocellated spot, of which the margins are of a
coppery or reddish-golden colour; posterior wings black, darkest at the
apex.

The caterpillar feeds on the inside of the apple, causing its destruction by
depriving the stalk of its support : the moth frequents gardens and orchards
in June.
Not very abundant, but found in gardens within the metropolitan

district, occasionally in some plenty : about three years since I found

several in my own garden, and this year it has been again in plenty.

Genus CCXC. — Bactra milii.

Palpi longer than the head, rather large, compressed, porrected horizontally,
clothed with loose elongate scales, which conceal the terminal joint: maxiUa
short. Antennae short, slender, slightly pubescent within in the males,
simple in the females : head small, enveloped in a dense mass of elongate loose
scales : eyes small : thorax slender, not crested : wings placed horizontally
during repose; anterior elongate triangular, somewhat linear, with the
hmder margin obliquely truncate ; the disc nearly destitute of markings, or
having only some indistinct longitudinal dashes ; posterior ovate-triangular,
entire, with long cilia : body long and slender, with a large tuft at the apex
in the males, and a small one in the females : legs rather long and slender.

The insects of this genus may be known by the extreme simplicity
of their colouring, the anterior wings being nearly destitute of
markings ; they are very narrow, somewhat linear, and have the
hinder margin obliquely truncate, with the anterior angle acute ; the
palpi are rather large and thickly enveloped in scales : most of the
species frequent damp situations, where rushes abound.

Anterior wings red-brown, with two, more or less distinct, oblong brown
spots on the disc, one towards the base, the other, rather curved, towards
the apex ; besides these is a brown streak at the apex, which is sometimes
very obscure, at others distinct and nearly united to the curved discoidal
spot; the inner margin is very finely and thickly dotted with brown : the
posterior wings are brown, with paler cilia.
The discoidal spots on the anterior wings are sometimes wanting.

Not uncommon in marshy places, where rushes abound, as on
Wimbledon Common, &c. Found in July last at Richmond, ap-
parently common : also in the New Forest. " Raehills." — Rev.

Anterior wings narrow, pale red, with a distinct broad, dusky dash, reaching
from the base to the hinder margin, and occupying nearly one-third of the
wings : posterior wings brown, with paler cilia.

The central dash on the anterior wings is sometimes rather obscure.

Rare : found within the metropolitan district, and in Norfolk.

Pale shining, immaculate; anterior wings with a tinge of yellowish towards

the costa: palpi long, and slightly curved over the back.

Taken near Coombe wood : probably not strictly belonging to this
genus, but my specimen is too injured to determine.

126 HAUSTEI.LATA. LEPIDOPTEKA.

Genus CCXCI. — Ablabia, HUbner.

Palpi longer than the head, rather slender, compressed, depending, densely
clothed with scales, which are elongate above, the terminal joint long and
slender, drooping, and scarcely exposed: maxillcE short. Antennas long,
rather slender, simple in both sexes, most robust in the males : head
moderate, with a slight tuft between the antennae : eyes large : ihoi-ax
moderate, not crested: wings deflexed during repose, anterior glossy,
elongate, entire, acutely truncate on the hinder margin, the disc plain, with
a few dusky clouds, cilia long ; posterior ample, ovate-triangular, with long
slender cilia : abdomen rather long and slender, with a large tuft at the
apex in the males, rather stouter and obtuse in the females : legs slender.

Ablabia differs botli in the structure of its palpi and in general
habit from Bactra, -with which genus Mr. Curtis unites it in his
Guide, but in his genera it constitutes a portion of his genus Cne-
phasia, this shifting being a svifficient indication of the propriety of
detailing it ; from the former it differs by having the wings very
glossy, and from the latter by having them nearly destitute of
markings, exclusively of the diversity in the palpi.

Sp. 1. quadripunctana. Alis anticis sordide lutescentibus nitidis punclis obsoletis

To. quadripunctana. Haivoi-th. — G. N. 4-punctana. Steph. Catal. ii. 180.
No. 6990.

Anterior wings dull lutescent, or pale ochreous, shining, with about four
obsolete remote brown spots, placed somewhat tetragonally, and on the
hinder margin a few minute brown dots; cilia ashy-white : posterior leaden-
brown, glossy ; cilia of a satiny-white.

In some examples the spots on the anterior wings are nearly obsolete; in others
they are very evident, and the remainder of the wing is more or less spotted
or tesselated with brown : the former varieties constitute Cn. Cautiana. —
Curtis.— Stcph. Catal. ii. 180. No. 6991.

Not a very common species, being local : it is, however, not
unfrequent near Dover, where it occurs sometimes in the month of
August in plenty ; last season I found it there in July. " Scotland."

Genus CCXCII. — Cnephasia, Curtis.

Palpi shorter than the head, ascending, densely clothed with long scales,
especially on the iipper edge of the second joint, the terminal joint exposed :

roilTllIClD.E. CNEPHASIA. 127

viaxiUoe short. Antennw rather long, slender, finely pubescent within in tlie
males, simple in the females : head small, with a tuft on the crown : ei/e$
lateral, subglobose : thorax not crested : wings deflexed during repose ;
anterior somewhat lanceolate, rounded at the apex, and gcrrerally marked
with transverse irregular bands, rarely immaculate; posterior ovate-tri-
angular, entire : abdomen moderate, carinated on the back, and with a tuft
at the apex; stouter and obtuse hi the females: legs slender, short.

In this genus the anterior wings are somewhat narrower in pro-
portion than in the other genera of this family, and are rounded at
the apex, the posterior margin being rather straight ; they are gene-
rally adorned with interrupted or waved darker fasciie upon a light
ground, though in some cases they are nearly immaculate ; there is,
however, a peculiarity of habit about the species, by which they may
be more easily recognized than described.

Cn. bellana. Curtis, 'in. pi. 100.

Anterior wings white, prettily, but distantly sprinkled with brownish-black,
with an irregular angulated black fascia near the base, widest on the costa,
and narrowing on the inner margin ; about the middle is a second very
oblique fascia, composed of three spots, which are occasionally remote, at
other times united by a narrow line, thus forming an irregular bar on the
costa: near the tip are three other black spots, opposite to the central one
of which, on the hinder margin, is a fourth, forming a second interrupted
oblique fascia ; cilia ashy, with darker clouds : posterior wings whitish-ash,
with some darker spots on the hinder margin ; cilia whitish-ash.

j\nterior wings rather long, slightly rounded at the apex, ashy- or yellowish-
white, with an irregular patch of brown clouds or spots in the middle,
forming a fascia, and three other larger ones towards their apex, more con-
fluent and irregular : hinder margin with brownish dots : posterior wings
ashy-white.

The apex of the anterior wings is sometimes faintly reticulated with brown ; or
the wings are pale, with the markings more or less conspicuous.

Taken occasionally in meadows and marshy places within the
metropolitan district ; not very common ; found in the Isle of Dogs
in June, and in the New Forest.

Anterior wings dull yellowish, immaculate, the apex rounded; posterior

whitish.
The anterior wings are sometimes whitish, and the posterior reddish-white :

probably the result of age.

This is rather a scarce species : it is found in the meadows about
Bow and Limehouse, and also in other places within the metropolitan
district, towards the end of June.

C. Anterior wings ashy, with sinuated or irregular continuous darker fasciae :
— EuDEMis, Hubner.

base, having a tooth without, then a very waved fascia in the middle, reach-
ing from the costa to the posterior angle, and externally shaded off to the
hinder margin of the wing, which is very dark at the extreme apex: posterior
wings ashy-brown.

The only example I have seen of this pretty insect was taken at
Darenth in June, several years since.

within, and a third, abbreviated, but frequently carried on a? an interrupted
one near the apex to the hinder margin : posterior wings whitish-brown.
The markings vary considerably, and are sometimes brol^en into small
blotches instead of being in fasciae.

Found occasionally within the metropolitan distinct, about the
middle of June, and also in the New Forest and in Devonshire.

M'ith three flexuous ashy-brown fascise with darker spots, of which the first
is un-angulated and shortened near the base, the second very much sinuated
in the middle, and the third on the hinder margin : posterior wings whitish-
brown.

Extremely variable : the ground colour of the anterior wings being whitish,
ashy, or darker brown, dusky or blackish ; with the fuscous dots more or
less distinct, or totally wanting; the fasciae sometimes interrupted, at others
very distinct or nearly obliterated; and in old examples the wings are
sometimes of a rosy tint and immaculate.

Extremely abundant, in June, throughout the metropolitan dis-

Anterior wings ashy-white, rather thickly, but minutely sprinkled with brown
dots, with a broad angulated or curved ashy-testaceous fascia at the base,
a second narrow curved one in the middle, widest on the costa, and a third,
also bent, near the hinder margin, which it does not reach : adjoinin' to
this on the inner margin is a large triangular spot, and on the costa two
minute ones, as in the preceding insect : posterior wings ashy-brown.

antennae slender and reddish.

I suspect that this is a mere variety of the foregoing.

Taken in similar places, and at the same time, with the foregoing.

Genus CCXCIII.— Skuicokis, Treifschke.

Palpi short, slightly ascending, densely clothed with elongate scales, having
the terminal joint exposed, the latter slender and acute : maxilla; short.
Antenna; moderate, rather stout, pubescent within in the males, simple in
the females: head small, with a short tuft between the antennae: eyes
small: thorax xaihev slender, not crested: wings detlexed during repose;
anterior broad, slightly rounded on the hinder margin, the disc more or less
marked with straight bands, sometimes darker, at others lighter, than the
ground colour, and the costa with short oblique streaks towards the apex,
which has usually a ring-like spot ; posterior also ample, faintly emar-
ginate on the hinder margin : abdomen rather long, with a largish tuft at
the apes in the males, stout and obtuse in the females : legs short and
rather stout. Females smaller than the males.

Tliis genus, which requires further subdivision, is distinguished by
havino' tlie anterior wincfs rather Inroad, with a straio-ht transverse
dark central fascia on a paler ground, accompanied in general by an
oblique one near the hinder margin, and some pale geminated spots
towards the tip of the costa; the hinder margin is slightly rounded :
I applied the name Orthotasnia to it in my Catalogue, in allusion to
the fasciae, but that name has been subsequently used for a distinct
genus, which, however, was previously characterized and named by
Treitschke.

obliquely : posterior wings reddish-brown.
Female much darker in colour^ without the reddish tinge.

Not common : it occurs sometimes within the metropolitan district^

Anterior wings testaceous-brown, very obscurely reticulated with darker
brown, the base rather dark ; in the middle is a stoutish, straight, deep-
brown fascia, being obscurely bidentate without, and narrowest on the costa ;
near the hinder margin is a curved streak, arising from the apex of the costa,
and extending nearly to the anal angle of the hinder margin ; posterior
wings brown.

Extremely variable in size, and slightly so in colouring ; the ground colour
of the anterior wings being sometimes so dark as nearly to obliterate the
fasciae: at others it is very pale, and the fascia extremely distinct.

A common species in the vicinity of London during the month of
June, frequenting woods, hedges, &c. ; abundant at Darenth,

apex of the wing : posterior lead coloured, with snowy cilia.

Very scarce : I possess a specimen that was taken in the New
Forest ; a second (which was in the late Mr. Haworth's collection)
was found near London, in June.

To. subsequana. Haivorth. — Or. subsequana. Steph. Catal.n. 182. No. 7021.

Anterior wings grlseous-red and shining, with irregular whitish glossy streaks,
arising from the costa, and faintly tinged with silver towards the apex ;
these streaks inclose first an oblique continuous pale reddish fascia before
the middle, and an interrupted one towards the apex ; at the tip of the wing
is an irregular brown spot, and a second towards the middle of the wing;
near the anal angle are three minute black streaks : cilia glossy ashy-white:
posterior wings ashy-brown, with whitish cilia.

This pretty species appears to belong rather to the genus Carpocapsa, but it
difTers sufficiently to constitute a section thereof, should it be referrible there.

Rare : I have one example that was found near London, and a
second that occurred in the vicinity of Edinburgh in June.

Anterior wings with a slightly-angulated brown-black fascia at the base,
followed by a broad golden-yellow band, irregularly streaked with dusky,
thence to the apex brown-black, with an irregular golden-yellow fascia,
extendhig rather obliquely from the costa to the hinder angle, and having a
brown lobe in the middle of the posterior margin : costa with minute white
dots on the extreme edge : posterior wings blackish-brown.

Apparently very rare ; I have one specimen that I caught many
years since at Darenth wood in the beginning of July, and a second,
a very fine one, whence the accompanying figure was designed, that I
secured in July, 1827, on Clandon Common, near Ripley.

fascia a little behind the middle, widest on the costa and slightly waved
externally, the extreme apex rather dusky; costa somewhat cinereous,
with minute white streaks: posterior wings brown.

with irregular fuscous-brown spots, forming an indistinct fascia at the base,
and an interrupted one about the middle ; besides these are a broad oblique
brown streak at the apex, and a spot of similar hue on the inner margin ;
on the costa towards the apex are three distinct brown dots, with white
edges, forming short streaks of that colour: posterior wings brown.

This is likewise a scarce insect ; I possess two of the original
specimens, one of them given to me by the late Mr. Haworth long
since, the other I obtained from the dispersion of his fine collection.

Anterior wings with a broad angidated fuscous-brown fascia at the base,
followed by an ashy space, streaked with fuscous, then a very short brown
fasciffform spot in the middle of the costa, opposite to which on the inner
margin, towards the anal angle, is another larger triangular one, and on the
hinder margin, near the anterior angle, is a slender brown fascia, and the
extreme tip is of similar colour, with some abbreviated white streaks on
the costa and on the hinder margin : posterior wings brownish.

Not very rare ; found at Coombe and Darenth woods in June ;
also at Ripley, in Devonshire, Norfolk, Scotland, &rc.

Palpi approximating, stout, subclavate, clothed throughout with long loose
scales, totally concealing the termhial joint : Twaa^zYte very short. Antenna;
rather short, robust and slightly serrated in the males, pubescent within,
slender and simple in the females : head small, clothed with long scales :
etfes small, subglobose : thorax stout, ovate, not crested : wings entire,
anterior broad, short, with faint markings, excepting a conspicuous dark
blotch near the anal angle, and an obscure ring at the anterior one ; liinder
margin faintly emarginate; posterior wings ovate-triangular, slightly
emarginate at the apex : bodi/ short, slender in the males, with a slight tutt
at the apex, robust and acute in the females : legs short.

This genus is synonymous with Aspis of Treitschke, a name which
falls both on the score of priority of Hubner''s, and from its being
used in another department of zoology ; the shortness and breadth
of its anterior wings, which are very simply marked, and possess a

Anterior wings ashy, with indistinct brownish streaks forming obsciue fascis;
adjoining the anal angle is a somewhat obtusely-triangular common distinct
brown spot, and on the apex of the costa, which is dark, are three or four
pairs of whitish streaks, separated by a brown line, and with a brown spot
between each pair : posterior wings brownish.

Not rare, in woody places within the metropolitan district, in
June ; I have frequently taken it at Darenth and Coombe woods,
Ripley, Hertford, &c.; it also occurs in the New Forest, Devonshire,
Norfolk, Suffolk, the north of England, &c.

Genus CCXCV. — Poecilochkoma* mihi.

Palpi remote, parallel, porrected horizontally, densely clothed with rather
short scales, leaving the terminal joint visible, and acute : maxillw rather
long. Antennae short, robust, and with the joints very distinct and pubescent
within in the males, slender and simple in the females : head small, with a
dense tuft of scales above: eye* small: thorax robust, not crested: wings
ample ; anterior long and rather wide, with indistinct but variable markings,
rarely fasciated, the inner margin with a more or less evident light or dark
blotch on the inner margin, the hinder margin entire, rounded, without
the usual ring-like mark at the apex, or having it very obscure : posterior
faintly emarginate at the apex : body rather short, slender, and tufted in the
males, robust and acute in the females.

The insects comprising this genus are generally very prone to vary,
and have usually much diversity of colouring, whence their name :
their anterior wings are long, broad, rounded behind, rarely fasciated,
but mostly dotted or freckled with dark colours, and have a more or
less distinct pale blotch on the middle of the inner margin, or that
margin is entirely pale ; the posterior wings are ample : they differ in
habit, and 1 suspect the last species belongs to another group.

waved on the discal edge : posterior wings brownish.

Not very common, though far from rare, within the metropoUtan

Py. trapezana. Fabricius. — Poec. Sparmanniana. Steph. Catal. ii. 183. No. 7025.

Anterior wings glossy testaceous, or cinnamon-brown, with more or less dis-
tinct brown or blackish markings, the principal of which form a Greek A on
the middle of the inner margin, the hollow of which is always paler than
the rest of the wing, sometimes ashy, or pale testaceous, whitish, white, or
snowy, and the extreme edge of the blotch bears a few testaceous, fuscous,
or blackish dots, and is very rarely immaculate: posterior wings fuscous.

Excessively variable : the wings are sometimes fuscous, and the blotch on
the inner margin is occasionally almost obliterated : the wings frequently
are adorned with dusky spots, at other times they are nearly immaculate.

More abundant than the foregoing species, and extremely given to
vary : it occurs at Coombe and Darenth woods, and in other parts of
the country, about August. " Loch." — Rev. W. Little.

with a conspicuous irregularly waved darker or deep black central streak,
dilated towards the inner margin, at the base, and near the apex ; on the
inner margin is a conspicuous ashy, whitish, or snowy quadrate patch,
spotted with fuscous, and bearing considerable resemblance to a cock's
head, the beak directed towards the hinder margin ; near the anal angle is
a smaller, but less distinct pale mark, and the costa is prettily dotted with
black and white; cilia varied with whitish and dusky: posterior wings
fuscous.

Extremely variable, scarcely two specimens occurring precisely alike, some
being richly varied, others totally suffused with black ; in some the dorsal
blotch is very evident and large, in others obscure and small ; some are
prettily tinted with green, others destitute of that colour : the marks on the
costa are often wanting, and in size the insect varies greatly.

only throughout the metropolitan district in June, but in other parts

of the country. " Gibside." — G. Wailes, Esq.

Anterior wings glossy pitchy, with very faint and indistinct darker markings,
frequently totally immaculate, but sometimes with a few black dots placed
in irregular streaks ; posterior wings also glossy, and very pale brownish.

Variable like its congeners : in some examples the anterior wings have a narrow
longitudinal testaceous streak reaching from the base to the apex ; others,
again, are considerably varied with tawny or ferruginous, with some obscure
darker markings ; and the posterior wings are sometimes fuscous.

I suspect the variety with the central testaceous streak may be Sp. vittana,
Curtis : it has the habit of being distinct, but is evidently a mere variety.

Rare, at least within the metropolitan district ; but in August 1821
a great number of specimens were taken near Brockenhurst, in the
New Forest, whence my series was obtained.

slightly oblique band of similar colour, narrow on the costa and very much

expanded on the inner margin, and both margins considerably waved : on

the hinder margin are two or three minute fuscous dots, and a few paler

ones on the costa ; cilia pale : posterior wings fuscous, also with pale cilia.

Apparently a very rare species, of which I have yet seen only a

pair ; the female was taken in July, near Lyndhurst, in the New

Forest, by Mr. Weaver ; the male I procured from IVIr. Haworth's

collection ; it was taken, I believe, in Sussex, by Mr. Scales.

short, Stout in the males and pubescent within, slender and simple in the
females : head small, with a short tuft between the antennae : eyes small :
thorax rather stout, with metallic stripes, not crested: wings deflexed,

dilated on the shoulder, and in the males reflected, forming a thickened
edge ; the disc with metallic characters on ^ plain dark ground : posterior
wings rounded, not emarginate : legs rather long, slender, with a tuft at the
apex in both sexes, smallest in the femaleSj in which sex the body is
stoutish : legs short.

The males of this genus are well characterised by having the base
of the costa of the anterior wings deeply reflected, and both sexes
have the same wings of a dark hue (generally tinted with orange or
tawny,) with various silvery marks thereon, resembhng letters : they
are also entire, rounded on the anterior margin, and not fasciated,
neither do they possess a circular spot at the apex, so common in this
family of insects. ,

cilia pale dull yellow.

The wings vary considerably in tint, being sometimes dull testaceous, or of an
olivaceous hue, and the silvery marks are more or less distinct.

joint, which is visible and acute : maxiUcE short. AnteruKP short and rather
stout in both sexes, slightly pubescent within in the males : head subglobose,

rior wings ovate-triangular, slightly emarginate at the apex : body long and
slender, rather stoutest in the females, with a small tuft at the apex in both
sexes : legs short.

In this genus the species, which are closely allied in outline to
those of the genus Lozotaenia, are distinguished by being destitute of
any fasciaa or markings, excepting a few indistinct spots on the costa
of the anterior wings, which are generally of light purplish hues, and
have a faint indication of a circular spot at the anterior angle.

II AUSTELL AT A. — T.F.PIDOrTERA.

AntennoB rather short, slender in the females, stouter and a little pubescent
within in the males : head small, with a tuft on the front and between the
antennae: eyes large, subglobose: thorax robust, with a crest behind: ivings
deflexed; anterior long, slightly dilated at the base of the costa, and faintly-
waved at the tip, hinder margin a little rounded, not emarginate at the apex,
the disc without distinct fasciae, with a pale red or rust-coloured ground ;
posterior ample, faintly emarghiate at the apex : body rather short and stout,
with a slight tuft at the apex in both sexes: legs short, posterior longest and
stoutest.

The crested thorax of these insects forms a rather conspicuous
character in this family, as few of the genera are distinguished by
this peculiarity; their plain rounded anterior wings, which are
destitute of defined fasciae, and which have a somewhat raised pale
smooth dot on the disc towards the apex, will enable the student to
discriminate them from Ditula, and the other genera with the thorax
crested behind.

TDRTRICIDf:. — SARROTHRirUS. 145

Genus CCXCVIII. — SARuoTHRirus, Curtis.

Palpi long, filiform, porrected in form of a beak, slender, clothed with long
pilose scales, which conceal the terminal joint, which is very long and
slender, nearly filiform : vmxilla long. Antennce long, slender, setaceous,

. simple in both sexes : head rather short, with a porrected fascicle of scales
in front : eyes subglobose : thorax short, with a rounded crest behind : wings
entire ; anterior rounded at the base, the costa faintly emarginate in the
middle and ciliated ; hinder margin rounded, furnished with long cilia ; the
disc with a few slightly elevated scales ; posterior wings ample, faintly
notched towards the apex, with long cilia: body somewhat robust in both
sexes, stoutest in the females, moderately long, and furnished with a small
tuft: /eg-i moderate ; intermediate longest ; anterior with a long branch of
hairs on the inside of the femora and tibia.

This genus, wliicli corresponds with Axia of Hlibner — a name
which ought strictly to be here employed, but to prevent a change I
have continued the one proposed in this country — is one of the most
conspicuous among the Tortricidas, not only from the magnitude of
the species, but from their habit ; the palpi are remarkably long,
slender, and filiform ; the maxillae are also long ; the anterior wings
very much rounded at the base, with the costa finely ciliated with
rough scales, and the disc with a few scattered elevated ones, and
marked with round dark dots, the hinder margin rounded and fur-
nished with long cilia; the anterior legs are adorned with long
fascicles of hair-like scales. The species are apparently autumnal,
making their appearance towards the end of summer, and sometimes
continuing throughout the winter. Hiibner, Haworth, and other
Lepidopterists, consider there are several species, as hereafter de-
scribed, but Treitschke unites them all under one name, as Pen.
revayana, in his 8th volume, forming them into Section A. (and
consequently the type) of his genus Pcnthina, as before referred to
(see p. 87) : though I suspect he has mistaken the species of a
variable genus for varieties of an inconstant species. At all events,
there appear to be two types of colouring, one with pale ashy or
hoary wings and a fulvous central dot — the other with fuscous or
brown wings and a black central dot : they arc comparatively rare in
this country ; but, upon an examination of about fifty specimens, I
think they may be separated into the species as I have placed them:
of their metamorphoses I am ignorant.

1 M} HAUSTELLATA. LEriBOPTEK A.

Genus CCXCIX. — Peronea, Curtis.

Palpi rather long, parallel, porrected horizontally, compressed, tumid in the
middle above ; densely clothed with short scales, the apex pilose, and con-
cealing the terminal joint, which is short and slender: maxillce very short.
Antennae short, faintly serrated, simple in both sexes : head small, with a
loose tuft of scales above: eyes prominent: tJiorax moAeraie, slightly crested
behind: wings entire; anterior rounded at the base, the costa rather
distinctly emarginate and ciliated, the hinder margin faintly repanded ; disc
with scattered elevated scales, chiefly near the posterior angle, and in the
typical species with a large elevated tuft in the centre ; cilia rather short :
posterior wings ample, ovate-triangular, scarcely emarginate at the apex;
cilia rather long: body somewhat long and slender, stoutest in the females,
with a small tuft at the apex : legs moderate, short ; anterior clothed with
very short scales, not pilose.

Like the insects of the preceding genus, much uncertainty exists as
to the Umits of the respective species ; the typical ones may be
instantly recognised by having a large bundle of elevated scales
nearly in the centre of the anterior wings, the costa of which is
rounded at the base, emarginated slightly in the middle, and faintly
ciliated, with rough scales ; the less typical species want the tuft of
scales on the middle of the winff. but have small scattered elevated
ones towards the base and hinder margin ; the costa is less promi-
nently rounded, and the prevalent colours are more diversified; the
species are autumnal, making their appearance about August, though
a few specimens are occasionally met with earlier.

A. Anterior wings with a large elevated bundle of scales on the disc, a little

beyond the middle : — Lopas, Hubner.*
Sp. 1. profanana. Alis anticis griseo-ferrugineis,fasciculo magno medio elevato

* As in Sarrothripus, diversity of ophiion exists as to the number of the
species in this section, which mainly corresponds with Lopas of Hiibner, and
1 really am at a loss to define their extent, as the numerous varieties which
each apparent species are liable to form a most perplexing question to resolve;
nevertheless, upon an examhiation of about 500 specimens, I have come to the
conclusion that they may be divided into the following species, which appear
as it were divisible into triads; each variation in the colour of the central
tuft including three diversities in the general colours, one of which has usually
a broad pale vitta on the inner margin.

A very rare species, a few specimens only having occurred, most,
if not all, of which were captured at Birch wood, or its vicinity, in
the months of July and August : I have a very fine pair that I
obtained from the late Mr. Haworth's collection, one of which he
appears to have procured from that of Mr. Francillon ; the other he

scales, and generally ferruginous or whitish, with dark costal marks;

posterior ample, the hinder margin waved and acute: Z»oJ«/ rather short,

slender, with a tuft at the apex in the males.

Like the foregoing genus, the anterior wings in this have the base
rounded and dilated, and the costa sHghtly ciliated, but they are
nearly destitute of any raised tufts of scales, a few scattered ones
only being present : in colour they are of pale rusty tints, whitish or
ashy, with distinct spots or blotches on the costa : the palpi are very
similar externally to those of the last section of Peronea, but the
smoothness of the anterior wings, and their less dilated base, exclu-
sively of their colouring, sufficiently remove them : most of the species
are extremely variable, and I am not certain but that I have confused
some distinct ones amongst the numerous suites of varieties that are
in ray cabinet. They form the genus Paramesia of my Catalogue.

middle of the costa, placed in a triangle, the inner (or dorsal) one the

darkest : posterior wings brownish.
In some examples the three costal spots are very obscure; in others very

Genus CCCI. — Leftogramma, Curtis.

Palpi porrected horizontally, nearly parallel, clavate, thickly clothed with
short scales, with the apical joint exposed and obtuse : maxillas rather long,
vnih. a minute palpus at the base. Antenna rather short, stoutest and
pubescent within in the males : head small, with a tuft of scales between
the antennae : eyes globose : thorax the same, with a faint angulated crest
behind : wings entire ; anterior oblong-trigonate, with numerous elevated
tufts of scales on the disc, slightly disposed in lines ; the costa rounded at
the base, and clothed with long rough scales, which form an angular pro-
jection near the middle; hinder margin faintly emarginate, forming a
slightly acute anterior angle, the hinder angle rounded ; posterior wings
ample, the hinder margin waved and slightly acute : body short and slender,
depressed, and with a tuft at the apex in the males.

The insects of this pretty genus — which is synonymous with
Oxigrapha of Hiibner — are remarkable for their lively bright green
anterior wings having their surface sprinkled with large tufts of
elevated scales, disposed somewhat in fasciae; the costa is considerably
waved, and is very strongly ciliated with rough scales at the base,
terminating abruptly, and forming a slight angle, near the middle :
the species are rather large, extremely prone to vary, and appear in
the autumn.

of the disc, towards the costa.

have received specimens from the New Forest, where they appear to
be common, during the other periods.

The colour of the anterior wings varies considerably ; sometimes being of a
pale lightish green, at others of a very dark hue : some examples are very
faintly marked, and others have more or less distinct short black streaks.

Anterior wings rough, of a light green, the disc with darker clouds, irregularly
mixed with fulvous and black ones ; in general there is a conspicuous black
spot at the base of the inner margin, and another on the costa towards the
apex, with smaller ones on the disc, more or less distinctly mixed up with
fulvous clouds or spots : posterior wings brownish.

Some examples are destitute of the black clouds, and are only adorned with
pale fulvescent spots on a green ground.
Apparently not uncommon, in the New Forest, in August and

September, whence I have received numerous fine specimens : it has

likewise occurred at Darenth and Birch woods.

Genus CCCII. — Tekas, Treitschke.

Palpi rather long, parallel, densely clothed with short scales below and long
ones above, reaching to the base of the terminal joint, which is exposed,
elongate-conic : maxillce rather short. Anteniice slender, rather stoutest in
the males and pubescent within: head with a smooth bundle of scales
between the antennae : eyes small : thorax subovate, faintly crested behind :
7^'«w^j-.5 slightly deflexed; anterior falcate, long, the costa deeply excised a
little beyond the middle, the base rounded ; posterior acute at the anterior
angle : cilia moderate : body moderate, rather stout and depressed in both
sexes, with a small tuft at the apex.

I applied the name Glyphisia to this genus, in my Catalogue, in
allusion to the deep excavations on the costa of the anterior wings, a
character which at once distinguishes it from all the other Tortricidae;
but as the genus is synonymous with the first section of Teras of
Treitschke (Rhacodia of liiibner), I have adopted his name,
although his genus, in the main, is nearly the same with Peronca.
Treitschke and other continental writers conceive there arc only two

TORTRICIDvE. — TEEAS. 167

species, one having the inner margin of the anterior wings fulvous,
the other concolorous ; but it is evident that these characters will not
hold good, as both varieties occur in each of the species. I may here
take occasion to remark that the continental Lepidopterists appear to
take comparatively little cognizance of the smaller species, as in
Treitschke's work, which professes to describe all the European
Lepidoptera, there are only 185 species of Tortricidae, nearly one-
third of which are not yet recognised as British, and that in Britain
alone there are decidedly upwards of 300 species discovered ; so that
this country possesses more species, not described by him, than he
allowed to all Europe !

Anterior wings from the base to the middle and the hinder margin pale testa-
ceous, reticulated with brown ; with a deep brown or ustulated fascia
extending from a little before the middle to the hinder margin, where it
vanishes; the inner margin is slightly reddish: the costal notch arises
beyond the commencement of the fascia, and extends nearly to the apex,
being a little sinuated within and very deeply excavated : posterior wings
pale brownish, with darker nervures, and faintly reticulated with fuscous
towards the apex.

As before alluded to, this is supposed on the continent to be a mere variety of
Te. effractana, but its form and characters will scarcely admit of such a
supposition being correct.

TORTIIICID.E. — DICTYOPTERYX. 1C9

The pretty insects which I have associated together in this genus
may be known by the pale colours — generally yellowish — of their
anterior wings, which are very beautifully reticulated with a darker
shade (whence the name) ; the hinder margin is generally very acute,
being rather deeply emarginate, so as to give a falcate apex ; the
surface is nearly smooth, having but few raised scales, and the costa
is not ciliated, as in some of the foregoing genera : the species are
extremely variable.

Harris Exp.pl. xxviii.J". 2, 3.

Anterior wings pale straw-colour, or yellowish, prettily reticulated with
reddish-brown, with a distuict streak at the base and a broad waved fascia
behind the middle darker brown, the latter suddenly bifid towards the costa,
forming a Roman Y : the extreme hinder margin is reddish-brown, and the
cilia white : posterior wings whitish.

The base of the whigs is sometimes straw-colour from its origin ; at others it
is broadly brownish ; and the ground colour varies slightly, being occa-
sionally ferruginous or reddish.

Very abundant from July to September in woods and copses within
the metropohtan district ; likewise taken in East Kent, Norfolk,

Anterior wings ferruginous, faintly reticulated with fuscous or red, with an
obscure oblique short waved dusky fascia in the middle of the costa, rather
darkest towards the disc ; the extreme hinder margin is also dusky ; cilia
white, with the hinder portion dusky : posterior wings whitish or very pale
brownish; cilia whitish.

Rather variable : in some examples the wings are more deeply reticulated than
others, and the ground colour varies considerably in tint, being occasionally
of a lighter or darker testaceous or straw colour; and there is sometimes an
oblique dusky fascia towards the base.

Common during the end of summer and the beginning of the

Anterior wings dark ferruginous, obsoletely reticulated with fuscous, with an
obscure streak before the middle, and a very much waved continuous fascia
in the middle, both dusky-brown ; between this and the hinder margin is a
similarly coloured spot on the costa ; cilia whitish, with the hinder portion
dusky : posterior wings whitish or pale brownish : cilia whitish.

Variable in size and considerably in colour ; the central fascia is sometimes
interrupted, or totally wanting, from the dark hue of the wings, which have
occasionally only the extreme costa ferruginous, the rest of the surface being
deep rusty-brown.

Less abundant than the last, but common within the metropolitan
district throughout the months of August and September ; found also
in the New Forest and in other parts of the country.

the costa ; towards the apex is a fine dusky line, and on the extreme hinder
margin another ; cilia pale straw-colour : posterior wings also pale straw-
coloured.

Anterior wings retuse, pale testaceous-yellow, very prettily reticulated with
reddish, with a disthict slender oblique fascia in the middle of the costa,
expanding into a broad blotch on the inner margin ; hinder margin with a
slender dusky line ; cilia pale fulvous, with a dusky cloud on the anal angle :
posterior wings fulvous, palest at the base.

Variable : occasionally the anterior wings are destitute of the large blotch on
the inner margin, and have in the place thereof one or two minute black dots,
or are totally immacidate.

Likewise common within the metropolitan district in June and
July ; frequent also in the New Forest and in Devonshire.

Genus CCCIV. — Capua* mihi.

ralpi short, divaricating, slender, somewhat depending, densely clothed with
short scales above, and rather long ones below ; the terminal joint distinct
and much exposed, elongate-acute : maxillae short. Antenna short, espe-
cially in the males, and so deeply pubescent as to appear slightly pectinated,
simple in the females : head small, with a very short tuft between the
antenna; : eyes very large, globose : thorax short, not crested : wings obscure,
anterior triangular, obliquely truncate at the apex, the costa straight,
reflected and thickened in the males ; the surface not fasciated, but obscurely
tesselated ; posterior wings ample, rounded on the hinder margin, acute at
the apex ; body rather long and slender, with the apex acute in the females,
and with a small tuft.

The only species of this genus with which I am acquainted bears
considerable resemblance, at first sight, to Die. plumbana ; but
from that insect it not only differs gcnerically, but also in habit : —
the anterior wings are very short, broad, and destitute of fascia? or
blotches, being very faintly reticulated or tessellated ; their hinder
margin is truncate and entire ; the costa in the males is reflected and
thickened at the base.

Anterior wings pale ochry-yellow or ashy^ with very obscure dark or dusky-
ash reticulations, the meshes of which are occasionally so filled up as to
produce a tessellated appearance: cilia dull ochreous-yellow : posterior
wings ochreous-brown, with the base paler.

The anterior wings vary considerably in the intensity of their tint.

The only examples I have seen of this conspicuous, though plain
and simply-coloured, insect, were taken, I believe, in the New
Forest, near Lyndhurst, by Messrs. Chant and Bently, to whom I
am indebted for my series, several years ago, in June.

Genus CCCV. — Cheimatophila* mihi.

Palpi short, slender, slightly divaricating, porrected horizontally, densely
clothed with short compact scales, tumid above, and attenuated to the apex,
the terminal joint being scarcely visible : jnaxilla short. Antennas rather
long, very slender, especially in the females ; a little stouter and slightly
pubescent within in the males : head small, with a rounded tuft between the
antennae: eyes small: thorax subglobose, not crested behind: wings verj
glossy, smooth, anterior elongate-subtriangular, with the base faintly
rounded, the costa straight, the hinder margin slightly emarginate and
acute at the apex, the hinder angle rounded, disc with undefined markings :
cilia rather ample: posterior wings short and broad ovate-triangular,
faintly waved behind, the apex a little acute, cilia very long.

The narrow glossy wings of this genus — which appears synonymous
with Sparganothris of Hiibner — combined with their smoothness, and
their prettily marbled surface, which is of a chestnut hue of different
tints, adorned with white clouds disposed in slanting bands, exclusively
of other characters, indicate its distinction from its allies : the only
known species is found in the autumn, and occasionally throughout
the winter.

Anterior wings of a deep brownish or reddish chestnut, and very glossy,
irregularly and very prettily marbled with whitish or white, sometimes with
a few blackish irrorations, or entirely immaculate ; in general the white
clouds are disposed in two oblique fasciae : posterior wings whitish, or very
pale brownish.

Extremely variable both in colour and in the disposition of the whitish markings
on the anterior wings ; some specimens being almost entirely of a deep im-
maculate chestnut, others red-chestnut, and occasionally almost white, with
a few chestnut spots and dots.

Extremely abundant in the New Forest, during the autumn, and
found also in Sussex, near Ashdown Forest, during the winter:
rare near London. " Lord Rosebery's Park, Dalmcny."" — Rev.

Genus CCCVI. — Augyrotoza* mihi.

Palpi very short, divaricating and depending, clavatc, densely clothed with
elongate scales, which terminate abruptly, and leave the terminal joint,
which is small, exposed : maxillce short. Antennw short and very slender,
simple in both sexes, but very faintly pubescent in the males : head small,
with a dense tuft between the antennae : eyes moderate, globose : thorax
stout in proportion, not crested : wings without elevated scales, anterior
elongate-triangular, truncate at the apex, the disc yellow, fulvous, or
reddish, with more or less distinct streaks, composed of minute silvery dots:
posterior wings ample, rounded at the apex : body short and slender, with
a small tuft at the apex in the males, rather stouter in the females, and
obtuse.

The species which I have included in this genus may be readily
known by their anterior wings being more or less adorned with
curved silvery lines upon an orange or yellowish ground, united at
the same time to their shortness, truncate hinder margin and straight
costa : all the species are very small.

Anterior wings rusty-brown, or reddish, with about five geminated irregular
decussating silvery streaks, and some scattered dots of the same colour, the
latter forming a fascia on the hinder margin ; cilia silvery-white, with brown
spots: posterior wings brownish, with pale cilia.

Rather variable both in size and colour.

This beautiful species appears to be peculiar to the north of
England and Scotland, where it seems to occur in plenty : I have a
splendid series from the mountains of Cumberland, and a few from
the vicinity of Edinburgh, where they were captured in June and
beginning of July : it occurs likewise near Manchester.

Anterior wings red-brown, with a broadish silvery-yellow fascia before the
middle, and a second oblique irregular one, extending from a little behind
the middle of the costa to the anal angle ; the apex of the costa also
yellowish, with four distinct red-brown dots; the disc varied with silvery-
yellow and red-brown: cilia pale, with a brown spot towards the anal
angle-
Found, but very rarely, in Norfolk, towards the end of July, by

the late Mr. Haworth, whose specimens I possess.

silvery streaks, dividing the ground colour into small blotches, and many of
them bifid on the costa : cilia fuscous, with darker clouds : posterior wings
dusky, with a darker line near the base.

Extremely variable in the tint of the anterior wings.

180 HAUSTEI.I.ATA. — LEPTDOPTEKA.

Found in June against fir-trees near Birch wood, not very-
common ; but in July 1827 it was in plenty in a fir plantation on
Ockham Heath, near Ripley.

Sp. 6. comitana. Alis anticis fuscescentibus, nitidis, strigis duahus geminatis
punctisque variis subargeuteis. (Exp. Alar. 4 — 6 lin.)

To. comitana. Wien. Verz. — Ps. comitana. Steph. Catal. ii. 176. No, 6934.

Anterior wings brownish, with a reddish tinge, with a geminated silvery streak
near the base, and a second, slightly angulated before the middle, and
between this and the hinder margin numerous irregular spots, most of them
double, one of which on the anal angle forms an oval ring ; cilia silvery-
brown ; posterior wings fuscous, with paler cilia.

This species is also very subject to vary in the tint of its anterior wings.

Abundant in June amongst fir trees at Birch wood: I am not
aware of any other locality.

Genus CCCIX. — Rhyacionia, Hiibner.

Palpi short, slender, approximating in form of a beak, ascending, densely
clothed with short scales, leaving the terminal joint, which is acute, exposed :
maxiUas very short. AntennoE rather long and slender, more robust and
very pubescent in the males : head small, with a loose tuft of scales on the
front : eyes large, globose : thorax globose, not crested : wings entire ;
anterior rather elongate-triangular, with the hinder margin obliquely
truncate, disc black, with raised darker scales, and a very oblique toothed
white band, sometimes broken into spots, rather before the middle ; posterior
wings small, ovate, faintly waved on the margin : cilia short : body short,
rather slender, with a very small tuft at the apex.

In this genus the anterior wings are short, and have the costa
straight and the hinder margin obliquely truncate, thereby forming
a triangle ; the surface is black, with darker elevated scales, and a
very oblique snowy-white fascia, which is occasionally more or less
broken up, and dentate outwardly, a character possessed by no other
indigenous species.

Ph. To. Hastiana. Lime.— Or. Hastiana. Sfeph. Catal. ii. 182. No. 7022.

Anterior wings brown-black, with a broad oblique snowy-white fascia in the
middle, extending towards the anal angle, and furnished on the outer edge
with an obtuse prominence; the hinder portion of the wings with a few
raised black scales : posterior wings and cilia brown.

TORTRICID.E. KDICEC 11,1 A. 181

Extremely variable in regard to the white fascia on the anterior wings ; in
some examples it dwindles down to a slender streak, and in others it is
represented by two spots, one on the costa, the other on the inner margin,
and occasionally the spot on the iinier margin alone exists, the costal one
being obliterated, or extremely minute.

Apparently very rare: i have a line series of varieties, which were
taken in Devonshire in June 1820; one or two other specimens only
have been found. I believe Mr. Ilaworth had one from Norfolk.

Gknus CCCX. — EuPffiCiLiA* nii/ti.

Palpi very short, thick, parallel, porrected horizontally, densely enveloped in
coarse hair-like scales, not concealing the terminal joint, which is minute
and obtuse : maxillce very short. Antenna short, slender, somewhat robust
in the males and thickly pubescent within : head small, with a rough crest
between the antermae and on the crown : eyes large, globose : thorax rather
stout, not crested : wings entire ; anterior narrow, elongate-triangular, pale,
prettily marked with darker clouds, and generally with a distinct central
fascia, the hinder margin somewhat obliquely truncate, with the apex
rounded ; cilia short ; posterior subtriangular, with the apex acute, generally
pale in the males and dark in the females ; cilia rather long : body short,
slender, rounded, with a very small tuft at the apex in the males, obtuse in
the females.

The species of this genus are generally of small size, and have the
anterior wings rather narrow, with the hinder margin somewhat
obliquely truncate, without a circular mark at the anterior apex ; the
disc is smooth, usually pale, and mottled and glossy, with a dark
central fascia, sometimes interrupted or indistinct, and the hinder
margin is generally dusky.

before the middle, spotted with black, but scarcely touching the costa ;

behind this to the extreme apex are some irregular dusky spots on an ashy

ground ; cilia spotted with brown : posterior wings fuscous, with the base

and cilia white.
The anterior wings are sometimes ashy, with a very indistinct central fascia,

and the posterior winars are dusky black : this is probably the opposite
sex.

Ven- common in hedges by the side of woods throughout the me-
tropolitan district ; frequent also in the New Forest, near Dover, &c.
in the beginning of July.

Anterior wings ochreous-white and very glossy, with darker clouds, with a
straight dusky-brown fascia in the middle, irregularly wared without, and
becoming narrowed on the inner margin ; the hinder margin also brown,
forming a deep fimbria : posterior wings whitish, with the hinder margin
dusky ; cilia white : the female has the posterior wings fuscous, and the
anterior wings somewhat darker than the male.

Not uncommon in July in the woods throughout the metropohtan
district ; taken also at Dover, in the woods near Whittlesea Mere,
and in the north of England, as well as in the New Forest and in
Devonshire. " Cramond." — Rev. IF. Little.

Anterior wings ochreous- white, with darker shades ; the base itself fuscous ;
costa from thence to the middle ashy, at which point arises a rather broad
browTi fascia, widest on the inner margin, and bearing about two ochreous
spots : on the apex of the costa is an abbreviated fuscous streak, widest at
its origin ; behind this the wing and cilia are nearly immaculate ochreous :
posterior wings ashy-white, with paler cUia. Female darker, with fuscous

with ash-colour, especially about the middle and towards the apex of the
costa ; cUia ashy, with a dark line at the base : posterior wings very black j
cilia fuscous.

This appears to be a scarce species; I have Haworth"s original

Anterior wings dull orange, streaked with dusky or black, with very obscure
markings, a transverse paler spot on the costa before the middle, opposite
to which on the inner margin is a triangular dusky or black one, and behind
the middle is a griseous-black fascia ; posterior wings snowy-white, with a
dark apex in the male, black in the female ; cHia pale yellowish.

Not very uncommon, in June, in the woods of the metropolitan
district, frequenting open places and hedges ; found also in plenty
in the New Forest, Devonshire, S:c.

Anterior wings varied with lead colour and black, with two broad fascis, one
before, the other behind, the middle marbled with white and ochreous-
yellow : on the middle of the inner margin is a dark blotch ; the hinder
margin and the cilia rather bluish-black, the latter with black dots : pos-
terior wings ashy, with a darker border and lighter cilia : head and palpi
snowy-white.

Apparently rare : it has occurred in the north of England, and in
Scotland, in July.

Anterior wmgs varied with snowy-white and ash-colour, with some black
spots and dots on the costa, with a black fascia, interrupted in the middle,
beyond the middle of the costa, and a second slightly incurved and waved
near the hinder margin : on the inner margin towards the apex are some
blackish dots : posterior wings dusky.

Of this verv rare insect I have seen but two specimens, one of
which I took in July 18-27 near Ripley; the other, which is the
original specimen, I obtained from the late Mr. Haworth's col-
lection.

IS^ HAUSTELLATA. — LEPIPOPTERA.

Anterior wings of a dull clay-coloured white, clouded throughout with minute
fuscous atoms, some of which become rather united on the edge of the costa
at the base, and produce minute spots, and at the apex are two rather large
dusky ones; cilia yellowish- white: posterior wings throughout thickly
irrorated with fuscous atoms on a pale yellowish groimd ; cilia white.

This appears to be a scarce .species; my specimen was taken in
June near London, but I forget the exact locality, though I believe
it to be in the vicinity of Darenth wood.

Genus C C C X I . — Ph th v.ocn ro a* mihi.

Palpi very long, slender, subfiliform, divaricating, porrected horizontally,
clothed with long scales placed loosely beneath, the terminal joint exposed
and very evident, deflexed: maxillcE very short. AntenncE short and slender,
very faintly pubescent within in the males, simple in the females : head
moderate, enveloped in a dense tuft of loose scales ; eyes small, lateral ;
thorax rather stout, not crested ; wings entire, anterior with the costa
straight, the apex and the hinder margin slightly rounded, posterior angle
faintly angulated; disc with irregularly elevated scales, and rather confused
markings, of which some of the colours vanish with the life of the insect;
posterior wings ample, acute-triangular, with the anterior angle slightly
produced and rounded: Z)0(/j/ slender, short, with a very small tuft at the
apex.

Of this genus Haworth remarks: '-In its roughened wings it
resembles the AsperancE (Peronea and its allies), but wants their
remarkable rotundity at the shoulders," by which characters it may
be at once recognised from all the other Tortricidas : a very remark-
able peculiarity also belongs to this genus, which is, that a portion of
the colouring of the wings flides almost immediately upon the death
of the animal, some fine rufous marks fading upon that event taking
place.

TORTRICID.E. — COCHYLIS. 185

Anterior wings ashy-white, rugged, with irregular fuscous clouds, forming an
abbreviated streak on the costa towards the base, a fascia in the middle,
interrupted by an oblique ovate white spot near the costa, a lunate spot
towards the hinder margin, beyond which is an oblique incurved fascia ter-
minating in the middle of the hinder margin ; besides these are some whitish
markings, and a bright flesh-coloured fascia behind the middle of the wings,
which fades almost entirely upon the death of the animal, and completely in
old cabinet specimens : posterior wings ashy.

Found in hedges about the middle of June, but not common : I
have taken it at Darenth wood and in Copenhagen fields : it also
occurs at Coombe wood.

Genus CCCXII. — Cochylis, Treitschke.

Palpi short, slightly ascending, subclavate, densely clothed with rather long
scales, especially at the apex above, and nearly concealing the terminal
joint, which is very short and slender : maxillw very short. Antenna mo-
derate, rather slender, finely pubescent within in the males, simple in the
females : head rounded, densely clothed with long scales above : e^es small,
globose : thorax moderate, not crested : jvings entire ; anterior elongate-
triangular, with the costa straight, the hinder margin is generally obliquely
truncate, the disc reddish or griseous, with an oblique central fascia ; pos-
terior wings ample, ovate-triangular, with the apex slightly angulateil :
cilia rather long: body short, slender, with a distinct tuft at the apex,
rather stouter in the females.

The pretty insects belonging to this genus are generally of fine
tints of red, flesh-colour, or griseous, with a very oblique, generally
abbreviated, darker fascia on the anterior wings, which last are
obliquely truncate on the hinder margin ; the species are usually of
small size, and appear towards the end of spring and in the summer,
and are apparently in some instances double-brooded : they appear to
be very local.

fine series from the former locality, assisted by the late Mr. Haworth"s
original specimens.

oblique very short brownish fascia: posterior wings dusky, and in the males
whitish.

The anterior wings vary a little in colour, being sometimes whitish, with the

Anterior wings bright ochreous-yellow, or straw-coloured, with darker and
lighter shades, with a rather distinct oblique dusky fascia, a little behind
the middle, not touching the costa, but extending, though interruptedly,
to the inner margin ; towards the apex is another but fainter dusky fascia;
the hinder margm is faintly reticulated with rusty-fuscous, and has a dark
edge, and the costa is spotted with blackish ; cilia pale yellow : posterior
wings fuscous, with yellowish cilia, or pale cinereous, with lighter cilia.

Rather variable in tint and in the intensity of its markings.

Found not uncommonly in the grassy slopes between the meadows

Anterior wings pale straw-colour, glossy, faintly clouded, with two griseous-
brown spots on the costa, opposite to each of which is a similarly coloured
oblique fascia extending to the inner margin, where they each become
darkest; the anterior fascia is slightly curved towards the apex of the
wings: posterior wings brownish.

Rather variable : in some specimens there is a faint brown patch on the base
of the inner margin ; others have the base of the costa tawny-brown ; the
oblique streaks are sometimes very slender, and at others broad and con-
spicuous.

This insect also occurs occasionally near Darenth wood, about the
beginning of August, but appears to be rare : it is likewise found in

Taken in the beginning of July in the marshes near Whittlesea
Mere ; also near Hertford and in Battersea fields, and in the Isle of
Wight.

Anterior wings somewhat ashy, with a large spot at the base of a reddish-
cinnamon tinge, an interrupted fascia in the middle, and another towards the
apex, placed obliquely to the first of the same colour, and faintly edged with
silver; the hinder margin with a few silvery spots: posterior wings
fuscous.

Rather variable in colour, the wings being of a brighter or paler colour, and
the fasciae vary much, being sometimes very much interrupted, or at times
decussating: the size of the insect also varies greatly.

Found, at the end of May and in June, near Darenth wood and
in the north of England, as well as in Scotland and in the New
Forest, but not very common. " Cramond and Raehills." —

Genus CCCXIV. — Xanthosetia* mihi

Palpi long, parallel, porrected horizontally in form of a beak, densely clothed
throughout with shortish scales, which end in a pencil, and conceal the ter-
minal joint, the latter minute: ma.r{llce very short. Antenna rather short,
robust in the males and pubescent within, slender and simple in the females :
head rather large, with a slight tuft on the forehead and crown : eyes large,
subglobose : thorax rather short, not crested : ivings entire ; anterior
elongate-triangidar, with the costa straight at the base, the hinder margin
slightly rounded, the anterior angle acute, the posterior rounded ; disc pale,
with a depressed paler portion, encircled by a darker ring at the apex, and
a raised point on the origin of the depression: posterior wings ample,
faintly waved on the hinder margin; cilia all short; bodij short, stoutish,
with a ridge down the back and a rather large tuft at the apex, very small
in the females.

TOttTRICID/E. — XANTHOSETIA. iQl

The insects of this genus are remarkable for their lively yellow or
rusty tints, and are nearly destitute of markings, having only a spot
towards the middle of the inner margin of the anterior wings, and a
kind of circular streak towards the hinder margin, a portion of
which is made up by the coloured cilia ; the palpi are rather long ;
the anterior wings have a smooth elevation towards the hinder
margin, and the latter is slightly rounded: the insects occur about
July and August.

Anterior wing-s bright slightly glossy yellow, with a varied chestnut spot in the
middle, towards the inner margin, the apex chestnut- or rusty-red, with a
large yellow spot, producing an irregular orbicular mark ; cilia of a rusty
golden-red: posterior wings fuscous.

Not very common ; found in grassy places in August : I have
taken it at Darenth and Coombe woods, and near Hertford ; in the
latter places more frequently than elsewhere : it also occurs in the
New Forest and in Norfolk.

Anterior wings dull ferruginous, with a faint fuscous spot in the middle
towards the inner margin, the apex fuscous, with a large ferruginous spot ;
cilia dull fuscous : posterior wings deep fuscous.

I strongly suspect that this insect is a mere variety of the foregoing, from
which it differs solely in colour.

Rare : I have once taken a single specimen at Darenth in August;
and others have been found in Norfolk, and I believe it has occurred

in the New Forest.

Anterior wings sulphur-yellow, with a very minute and obscure rusty dot in
the middle towards the hinder margin, and an oblique somewhat raised
streak of similar hue behind, extending from behind the middle of the disc,
wiicre it is slightly flexuous externally, to the anal angle ; the base and apex

of the costa are also slightly ferruginous; posterior wings fuscous, with
whitish cilia.
Rather variable in colour, and in the intensity of the posterior streak on the
anterior wings.

Not uncommon in August in grassy places, where galium abounds,
within the metropolitan district : found also in other parts of the
country, as in the New Forest, Devonshire, &c. " Meldon Park." —

To. diversana. Hiibner. — Xa. diversana. Steph. Catal. ii. 192. A^o. 7151.

Anterior wings pale sulphur-yellow, with the costa at the base, a spot in the
middle, and an angulated bow towards the apex, ferruginous; from the centre
of the costa a more or less distinct and interrupted streak arises, which reaches
to the inner margin, and occasionally there are some rusty spots towards the
apex and on the disc : posterior wings fuscous, with ashy cilia.

Extremely variable both in size and colour, the latter being of various tints of
yellow, with more or less distinct ferruginous spots and streaks; and I pos-
sess a specimen with the costa and hinder margin deep black.

Found in various places within the metropolitan district, about the
beginning of August, far from uncommonly : it occurs in plenty at
Ripley, and I have taken a few specimens at the Hermitage.

Anterior wings very glossy ochreous-red or reddish, immaculate, with a faintly
raised spot towards the apex, the hinder margin rounded : posterior wings
glossy and reddish-brown : cilia obscure shining ochreous.

Very rare : I have obtained a single example from the New Forest,
where it was found in June, and in the beginning of July 1827 I
took a second near Ripley.

Genus CCCXV. — Phibalocera* mihi.

Palpi very long and slender, divaricating, recurved, slightly clothed with short
scales, basal joint minute, second elongate, terminal about half as long as

* (j)i(3aXoc gracilis, Ktpag cornu.

TORTRiriD.E. PHIBALOCEIIA. 193

the second, very slender and acute : maxillcB very short. Antennw as long
as, or longer than, the wings, joints distinct, rather stoutest in the males :
head small, with an obtuse tuft between the antennae : ei/es rather large,
subglobose : fho)-ax moderate, subovate, not crested : wings entire, anterior
with the costa waved, thickened in the males, and ciliated at the base in
the females ; hinder margin truncate, cilia very long ; disc pale ; posterior
wings rather small, slightly acute at the apex, and furnished with long
cilia : bod^ short, rather depressed, obtuse and with a tuft at the apex in
the males, acute in the females.

The great length of the antenn;e of this genus at once removes it
from the other genera of this family, from all the preceding of which
it also differs in having the palpi long and recurved, a character pro-
minent in the following genera, and thus leading the way to the
succeeding family, from wliich its triangular and truncated anterior
wings at once remove it. There is but one species, which appears
about the end of July.

Sp. 1. Quercana. Alis anticis Jlavo-ritjis punctis duohus striirmjue marginali

7—9 lin.)

Py. Quercana. Fabricius. — Donovan, iii. pi. 106. f. 3. Phi. Quercana. Steph.
Catal. ii. 192. No. 7153.

Anterior wings bright yellowish-red, with two minute darker, or dusky, dots
on the disc, an oblique purplish-brown streak towards the base, passing
backwards to the middle of the costa, and interrupted by a somewhat
oblong bright yellow spot on the extreme edge of the costa itself, on the
other side of which it is again continued to the apex, where it becomes
acutely angled, and passes along the hinder margin, vanishing at the anal
angle ; at the base of the costa is a second, but smaller, sulphur-coloured
spot, and the cilia are of similar colour : posterior wings whitish, cilia paler,
with the anal angle yellowish.

Variable in colour; some examples being of a more brilliant yellow than
others, some of a purplish-brown, and with the markings very distinct ; in
some obliterated : the base of the anterior wings is frequently of a dusky
hue.

Abundant in woods and gardens within the metropolitan district,
at the end of July and throughout the month of August; found also
in other parts of the country.

Genus CCCXVII. — Hypercallia* mihi.

Palpi very long, ascending, densely clothed with very short scales, the basal
joint short, second long, slender at the base, terminal vertical, about half the
length of the second, slender, acute; maxilla shorter than the palpi.^
AntenncB rather long, slender, pubescent within in the males : head small,
with a pointed tuft between the antennae : eyes small : thorax subovate,
lineated, not crested : ivings entAre ; anterior elongate-triangular, the costa
not produced at the base, the hinder margin faintly truncate, with the
anterior angle acute and the posterior rounded ; the disc pale, with dark
(blood-red) reticulations ; posterior wings ample, slightly waved towards
the apex, which is obtusely angulated : body shortish, slender, sublinear,
obtuse at the apex, and with a small tuft.

The very long, divaricating, recurved palpi of this genus, exclu-
sively of the peculiarity in the disposition of the colours — which are
light sulphur, reticulated with broad blood-red lines — sufficiently
indicate the distinctions of this genus from its allies : the genus has
been placed amongst the Pyralidse, and also amongst the Tineidae ;
but although perhaps the present may not be its true location, I
think it is too nearly allied to Phibalocera to warrant its distinct
separation therefrom : one species only is known, which appears to
be extremely local, frequenting chalky districts.

Sp. 1. Christiernana. Plate 38.^. 2. — Alis anticis ciliisque saturate sulphur eis,

Ph. To. Christiernana. Linne. — Hy. Christiernana. Steph. Caial. ii. 192.
No. 7154.

Anterior wings and cilia bright sulphur, beautifully reticulated with blood-
red, the reticulations interrupted towards the inner margin : posterior wings
fuscous, with whitish cilia : head and thorax sulphuredus, the latter with
three blood-red lines.

Slightly variable, some specimens being more completely reticulated than
others, and being of a brighter colour ; and some having the posterior wings
whitish.

This conspicuously beautiful insect is extremely local, and may
from that circumstance be esteemed very rare, as even in its locality
it seldom occurs: in July 1819 I was fortunate enough to capture
two specimens at Darenth wood, the only locality I am aware of,

although I have a remarkably fine pair that were taken a year or
two previously in Essex. A small gap at the north-west corner of
Darenth wood, at the angle of the first field from the lane leading-
from Dartford, was the spot where I obtained my specimens, and at
the time they were found about a dozen more were secured. I believe
a single specimen has been found this season.

Genus CCCXVIII.— Orthot elia* 7}2ihi.

Palpi very long, slender, parallel, recvirvetl, clothed with scales, the basal
joint stoutest, the second and third of nearly equal length, the last being
acute : maxillae short. Antennas rather long, very slender and simple in
both sexes : head with a short tuft between the antennae : eyes rather large,
globose: thorax xohusi, not crested: wings enine ; anterior elongate, sub-
linear, the costa not produced at the base, the hinder margin subtruncate,

, with very short cilia; anterior angle acute, binder rounded; posterior
wings short and broad, with the apex rounded, and the hinder margin not
sinuated: body long and rather stout, with a ridge on the back, and a small
tuft at the apex.

Of this singular genus, which in many respects resembles Chilo,
but differs therefrom in having but two palpi, as well as in the trun-
cated anterior wings, I know but one species, the larva of which
subsists within the stalks of the Bullrush : — like the two preceding
genera it has the palpi recurved ; but the antennae are short, and
the anterior wings have neither transverse streaks nor are they reticu-
lated, but are faintly streaked longitudinally with alternate light and
dark lines, forming a radiated appearance.

Anterior wings ochreous-yellow, with brown radiating nervures, becoming
somewhat confluent, and forming a slightly triangular patch, at the hinder
margin ; towards the inner margin are a few dusky dots, and an obscure
palish spot on the disc behind the middle : posterior wings whitish, a little
dusky towards the inner margin ; cilia pale.

Some examples are darker than others, and the insect varies a little in size.

The larva feeds on the inner substance of the stalk of the bullrush.

Family II.— YPONOMEUTID^.

Autennce rather long, slender, inserted within on the crown before the eyes, or
in front of the face, simple; rarely pectinated, but frequently ciliated
within in the males. Palpi generally two, triarticulate, very rarely four,
long, slender, setaceous or subulated, mostly recurved, but sometimes
depending, the apicaljoint of the labial greatly exposed and acute: maxillae
moderate : head small, either clothed with long scales in front, or smooth :
eyes rather large : thorax slender or moderate, rarely crested : wings undi-
vided ; anterior generally long and narrow, with shortish cilia : posterior
mostly ample, folded on the inner edge, and with long cilia : both pairs gene-
rally more or less convoluted during repose : body slender, frequently elon-
gated, sometimes depressed ; generally acute in the females, and furnished
with a tuft in the males : legs rather long. Larva slightly pubescent, with
sixteen legs, and in some genera with an additional pair ; most frequently
subcutaneous, or residing within the stalks of plants ; sometimes in a detached
case resembling a shell : pupa various, elongate, usually found in the nidus,
but occasionally subterranean.

The insects of this rather extensive family differ from the Tortri-
cidfe in having the palpi long and slender ; they are mostly recurved
or drooping, and in general only two in number, by which they differ
from the Tineidae, which have four conspicuous ones ; whereas in
the few genera of this family which possess that number the second
pair are mostly small : there is considerable diversity of habit
amongst these insects ; some of them residing in their larvae state on
flowers, upon which they subsist ; others are found within the sur-
faces of leaves, devouring only the parenchyma; some form extensive
webs, and live in society; others are solitary: amongst the subcuta-
neous species are some of the most brilliant of the Lepidoptera, their
wings being adorned with highly polished metallic surfaces, and some
of them being extremely varied in the number of tints : others again
are very plain ; the former set have generally drooping palpi, the
latter ascending, recurved, ones.

Gknus CCCXIX. — Depuessarta, Houortli.

Paljii long, slightly divaricating, curved upwards and backwards, the second
joint clothed with very long broad scales, the basal with short ones, and the
apical appearing naked, very slender and attenuated : maxillw short and
thick, with scales in front. Antenna remote, inserted on the crown, slender,
simple : head wide, clothed with broad scales : eyes small : thorax robust :
wings incumbent during repose ; anterior linear, lanceolate ; posterior short
and broad : body broad and depressed, with a few tufts of hair on the sides
and at the tip, the apex in the males rather attenuated, sliglitly recurved,
with a small tuft : /f^i rather short. Larva generally found on umbellife-
rous flowers, and changing to a pupa within the stalks.

The broad flattened abdomen of the insects of this genus, and
horizontally incumbent wings, at once indicate its distinction from
the other genera of this family ; the recurved palpi existing in several
others : in habit the insects differ, inasmuch as they are usually
found, in the larva state, subsisting on the flowers of umbelliferous
plants, and the pupa is found within their stalks : they are generally
autumnal.

Anterior wings purplish-red ; the costa brownish, prettily and thickly dotted
with rose-colour, with a large dusky spot in the middle, obsoletely marbled
with whitish on each side : posterior wings brown.

Sometimes the rosy, or the whitish, markings are wanting ; and occasionally
the anterior wings are entirely purplish-red and immaculate.

Rather local : abundant occasionally in April near Hertford; also
found sometimes in the autumn : it occurs likewise in the New Forest
and in the north of England.

Genus CCCXX. — Anacamfsis, Curtis.

Palpi very long, slender, recurved, divaricating, thickly clothed with scales,
especially at the base, where they are very long, and form a more or less
conspicuous tuft within; the apical joint is exposed, and as long as the
other two iniited, very slender, and acuminated: maxillce short, stout.
Antennas moderate, simple, rather long and slender, similar in both sexes :
head small, clothed with hard scales : eyes moderate : thorax not crested :
wings incumbent during repose ; anterior linear-lanceolate, longer than the
body; posterior ovate-lanceolate, with very long cilia: body slightly
depressed, of the male with a small tuft at the apex, of the female elongate
and very acute : legs moderate ; hinder pair long and stout.

There is considerable resemblance between this genus and the
preceding, but in the present the antennae and the anterior wings are
longer, the latter narrower, more lanceolate and obtusely rounded at
the tips, the posterior wings shorter, with longer cilia ; the body less
depressed ; the palpi more slender and divaricating ; and the mark-
ings on the anterior wings more irregular and confused. The genus,
in its present state, is a complete magazine for all sorts of stragglers
with recurved palpi and simply coloured wings, but I have not
ventured to l)rcak it up : — in it are embraced the following genera

218 HAUSTELLATA. LEPIDOPTERA.

Genus CCCXXI. — Lofhonotus* mihi.

Palpi four ; labial long, slender, divergent, recurved over the head, clothed
with elongate scales, which are prolonged nearly to the apex of the terminal
joint, which is very slender and longer than the second: maxillce rather long,
with a short pair of biarticulate palpi. Antennae slender, slightly pubescent,
rather long, subserrate at the apex : head small, rounded, with depressed
scales on the front : eyes moderate : thorax slender : wings narrow ; anterior
subfalcate at the apex, the inner margin with three fascicles of scales, as in
the typical Notodontidae ; posterior wings very narrow, with extremely
long cilia: body slender, attenuated to the apex.

This singular genus is well characterized, not only by its narrow
subfalcate anterior wings, but by having their inner margin adorned
with three fascicles of elongate scales, resembling the appendages on
the same part of those of the typical Notodontidae ; the palpi are four
in number ; the labial long and recurved, the maxillary minute. I
have seen but one specimen of the genus.

Anterior wings ashy-brown, with whitish atoms, a blackish mark at the base
of the costa, and an indistinct fascia of the same in the middle, widest on the
costa; on the disc behind this is a series of black lines, interrupted by white;
on the extreme tip is a reddish blush, and on the inner margin are three
reddish fascicles of hair-like projecting scales, with blackish tips; cilia
fuscous, with three blackish lines : posterior wings fuscous, with paler cilia :
abdomen and legs dusky, the latter with pale rings.

The only example of this pretty insect which I have seen was
taken in July 1824 near Whittlesea Mere.

Genus CCCXXII.— AcRiAfTwiAi.

Palpi apparently stout and divaricating, the terminal joint acute. Antennas
shortish and simple: head moderate: thorax subovate: tvings entire;
anterior rather long, linear, the apex dilated and rounded, the costa with a
circular notch in the middle, cilia moderate ; posterior rather short, sub-
acute, with shortish cilia: posterior legs long.

The above insufficient character is drawn up from Donovan's

from an inspection of the figure I am inclined to the opinion that it
has been designed from an injured specimen, and that the emargi-
nation is not natural ; but I know not the species to which it can be
referred.

apex streaked with fuscous." — Donovan, L c.

"Found in Kent." — Don. I.e.: which is the only account we

possess of this singular insect.

Genus CCCXXIII. — Chelaria, Haworth.

Paljii two, very long, recurved, divaricating, clothed with scales, which arc
very long on the basal joints, and extend nearly to the apex of the terminal
one, which is longer than the other two, curved, exposetl, acute, and naked
at the tip : viaxillcs long, scaly. Antennw rather long, slender, hair-like,
simple : head small, globose, clothed with depressed scales : eyes small,
globose: thorax not crested: wings subclavate; anterior long and narrow,
with a dark costal spot; posterior broader, acute, with long cilia: body
longish, slender in the males, with a tuft at the apex ; stouter in the females
and acute : legs short, posterior long, with long scales exteriorly.

This genus — which is the type of Hypatima of Hlibner — is distin-
guished from the foregoing by having the anterior wings very narrow,
obtuse, pale, with a conspicuous dark blotch in the midle of the costa,
the hinder wings broader in proportion and acute, with very long
cilia, the palpi less recurved, longer and more divaricating, and
clothed nearly to the apex of the terminal joint with long scales,
which terminate rather abruptly, so as to give the appearance of an
additional joint.

is a fine short black streak near the anterior apex of the hinder margin, and
frequently two others on the disc between the latter and the costal spot ;
cilia dusky : posterior wings brownish, shining, with darker cilia.

Not very uncommon : found towards the middle of August at
Coombe and Darenth woods, also at Hertford, near Dover, in Dorset-
shire, Norfolk, Suffolk, &c.

Genus CCCXXIV, — Cleodora* mihi.

Palpi two, very long and divaricating, slightly recurved, densely clothed with
rather long scales, which extend a short distance up the base of the terminal
joint, the latter shorter than the second, and in its natural state clothed with
short scales, and ovate-acute : maxillw rather long and scaly. Antennas
slender, simple, stouter and with the joints very distinct in the males : head
small, rounded ; eyes small, globose : thorax ovate, not crested : wings
narrow, anterior elongate, of plain pale ochreous colours, sometimes with
obscure darker longitudinal, but never transverse, marks ; cilia rather long ;
posterior small, sinuated on the hinder margin towards the apex; cilia
moderately long : body long and slender, with a small tuft at the apex in the
males, stouter and conical in the females : posterior legs rather long, with
very long scales on the tibiae within.

These insects — of which the first species forms a portion of the
genus Mesophleps of Hiibner — are remarkable for the simplicity of
their long anterior wings, which are mostly of pale ochreous or reddish
tints, without transverse markings, having only occasionally a few
longitudinal darker clouds or dashes ; the palpi are long, divaricate
considerably, and have the terminal joint rather thick ; the posterior
wings are slightly waved towards the apex of the hinder margin, and
the cilia are not very long.

222 HAUSTELLATA. I.EPIDOPTERA.

Genus CCCXXV.— Acompsia, Hvbner.

Palpi very long, slender, divaricating, recurved, densely clothed with short
scales compactly placed, apical joint very long and completely exposed,
slender, subulated : maxilloe rather long and scaly. Antennas rather long
and slender, the apical joint distinct, all simple : head small, globose, clothed
with imbricated scales on the forehead: eyes ?,mB\\: thorax not crested:
wings entire; anterior acutely truncate on the hinder margin, the disc
totally destitute of markings; posterior shorter and narrower, slightly
waved on the hinder margin towards the tip, which is rather obtuse : cilia
moderate.

The extreme simplicity of the insects of this genus, the anterior
wings being totally destitute of markings, and being of an uniform
colour throughout, exclusively of their form, the hinder margin being
obhquely and acutely truncate, at once characterizes them, in addition
to which their long slender recurved palpi, of which the terminal
joint is very long and acute, their small glossy head, clothed with
depressed imbricated scales, &c. may be pointed out.

Genus CCCXXVI. — Macrochila* mihi.

Palpi large, divaricating, densely clothed with very long hair-like scales
beneath, which extend in the form of a pointed brush in front, the terminal
joint, which is elongate and acute, arising, as it were, at the base of the

Anterior wings ashy-white, with a broad snow-white streak on the costa,
bordered within with a broad fuscous line, which is gradually shaded off to
the inner margin ; and in the middle of the disc are two or three minute
black dots, adjoining a fuscous line: posterior wings whitish: palpi
fuscous.

Also rare near London, but found in various parts of the country ;
apparently not so uncommon in the New Forest, whence I have
obtained numerous specimens: it is found at Darenth wood and
near Dover, and appears to frequent chalky districts.

YPONOMKUTID.E. — APLOTA. 2i?5

Genus CCCXXVII.— Aplota* mihi.

Palpi two, elongate, divaricating, compressed, clavate, densely clothed above
and below with lengthened hair-like scales, which almost conceal the ter-
minal joint, the latter acute and elongate : maxillw short. AntenncE rather
long and slender, each joint producing a fine short whirl of hairs : head
globose, small, clothed with imbricated scales: eyes moderate, projecting,
globose : thorax subovate, not crested : wings entire ; anterior sublinear,
obliquely truncate on the hinder margin, the disc without fasciae, and only
obscurely marked; posterior wings small, with the apex obtuse; cilia
moderate : body short, rounded, slightly acuminate at the apex, with a very
small tuft : legs moderate ; posterior rather long and stout, with two pair of
long spurs.

From the preceding genus, with which I had associated the only
species in my Catalogue, the present not only differs in wanting the
bristle-like appendage towards the apex of the palpi, but tlie structure
of the latter is different ; the wings are of a plain dingy hue, nearly
destitute of any markings, having only some obscure black spots on
the disc.

Yp. palpellus. Haworth.— Ma. palpella. Steph. Catal. ii. 129. A^o. 7239.

Anterior wings fuscous, with a very obscure golden tint in certain lights,
arising from minute atoms, a geminated black dot before, and a single larger
one behind, the middle; on the inner margin is a very indistinct pale
fuscous streak : posterior wings dusky ; cilia all deep black.

in the beginning of July 1827, in a field of trefoil near Ripley ; the
other I obtained from Mr. Haworth's collection.

Genus CCCXXVIII. — Enicostoma* mihi.

Palpi two, much longer than the head, recurved, divaricating, densely clothed
with long scales from the base nearly to the apex, leaving the upper portion
of the terminal joint exposed, slender and acute, and apparently naked :
maxillce rather short. Antennoe moderate, rather slender, simple in the
females, each joint faintly produced in the males: head small, clothed with
imbricated scales, which form an acute protuberance in front : ei/es small ;
thorax not crested: wings scarcely deflexed during repose; anterior sublan-
ceolate, with raised tufts of scales on the disc ; posterior ovate-triangular,
all with shortish cilia : body rather short, with a small tuft at the apex,
carinated down the back, rath er stouter and obtuse in the females.

In this genus, as well as in the next, the palpi form a most conspi-
cuous object, being very long, and thickened nearly to the apex with
elongate loose hair-like scales, the tip of the terminal joint being
exposed ; they are recurved and divaricate : from the following genus
the present may be known by the wings being of sombre hues, the
anterior destitute of metallic ornament, but having some small black
tufts of elevated scales ; the cilia of the posterior wings are short.

Sp. 1. Thunbergana. Alis aniicis obscure fusco-cinereis, punctis quatuor elevatis

Anterior wings obscure fuscous-ash, with two approximating elevated black
tufts of scales before the middle and two others behind ; the latter smallest,
and sometimes one or both obsolete ; cilia fuscous : posterior wings rather
paler, with still paler cilia.

Not very common: found in gardens within the metropolitan
district in June ; also in Devonshire.

Genus CCCXXIX. — Alabonia, Huhner.

Palpi two, nearly as long as the body, greatly divaricating, clothed about
two-thirds of their length with long, loosely placed scales, which extend

* EvtKoe singularis, arona os.

YPONOMEUTID.E. ALABONIA (ECOFHORA. 227

rather beyond the base of the terminal joints the latter very slender and
acute, apparently naked: maxilla rather short. Antennw rather long,
slightly pectinated in the males, simple in the females : head clothed with
loose imbricated scales, projecting on the front: eyes small; thorax not
crested : wings deflexed during repose ; anterior elongate, lanceolate,
rounded at the apex, the disc smooth, marked with irregular longitudinal
metallic lines, on a yellowish ground; cilia short; posterior ovate-trian-
gular ; cilia rather long : body shortish, slender, and with a tuft in the
males ; stouter and obtuse in the females.

The palpi in this genus, as previously referred to, are very con-
spicuous, nearly, or quite, equalling the length of the body, and
externally resembling those of Enicostoma, but divaricate more con-
siderably : unlike the insects of the foregoing genus, the anterior
wings are of gay colours, and adorned with metallic streaks ; they are
destitute of elevated scales, and the posterior ones are also of a
metallic hue, with rather long cilia.

Ph. Ti. Geoffroyella. Linne.— En. Geoffroyella. S(eph. Caial. ii. 199.
No. 7241.

Anterior wings yellowish at the base, and orange-brown at the apex, the disc
at the base with two silvery or lead-coloured streaks, united towards the
inner margin ; on the costa before the middle is an abbreviated similar
streak, and some obscure marks of the same anterior to two conspicuous
triangular sulphurous spots, one of which is on the costa, the other opposite
to it on the inner margin ; the apex of the wing is of a dark orange-brown,
with a metallic hue and the nervures dusky : posterior wings and cilia
fuscous : palpi dusky, with the terminal joint white.

Not uncommon in woods and hedges in the vicinity of London at
the end of May and beginning of June : taken also in other parts of
the country.

Genus CCCXXX. — (Ecophora, Latreille.

Palpi two, longer than the head, curved upward and backwards, slender,
rather divaricating, clothed with short scales, the apical joint exposed, very
slender and attenuated, as long as the second : maxillce rather long and stout.
Antenna rather long, stout at the base, being densely clothed with scales
above, and pilose beneath, nearly to the middle, the apex being simple, and
the base not very stout in the females : head rather small, clothed with

depressed imbricated scales : eyes moderate, globose : thorax ovate, not
crested; wings entire, deflexed during repose; anterior long and slender,
with short cilia, the disc dark, with yellow spots or fasciae ; posterior small,
with ample cilia : body slender, and with a tuft at the apex in the males ;
longer and obtusely-conical in the females.

The singular structure of the antennae of the insects in this genus
sufficiently indicates their distinction from any others of the family,
the base being ajiparently very thick, arising from the scales and
pubescence with which that part is clothed, and the apex slender ; in
addition both species have a pale ring nearly at the tip, occupying five
or six articulations.

Ti. Oliviella. Fahricius.—Da. Oliviella. Steph. Catal. ii. 199. No. 7242.

Anterior wings deep black, with a golden gloss, arising from minute golden
atoms scattered throughout, especially towards the apex; at the base
within is a conspicuous, well-defined, triangular yellow spot, and a little
before the middle is a straight transverse fascia of a similar hue, not touching
the costa, and expanded on the inner margin ; behind both the spot and
fascia is an obsolete silvery streak : posterior wings dark purple : head
black, with a silvery hue ; palpi yellow : thorax black, with a yellow streak
on the tippets : antennae black, with a broad white ring towards the apex.

Slightly variable, the brownish spot and central fascia on the anterior wings
being more or less extensive.

Common on palings and in hedges in June and July within the
metropolitan district, especially near Hertford.

Anterior wings brown, sprinkled with minute golden atoms ; near the outer
edge of the costa is a faint longitudinal yellow streak, and another less
distinct towards the inner edge ; near the posterior angle is a triangular
yellow spot; cilia black: the female has the two longitudinal streaks more
extended, the inner one reaching to the middle of the wing, and on the costa
towards the apex, opposite to the spot on the inner edge, is another yellow-
ish spot : posterior wings in both sexes pale yellow, with the apex dusky :
head and thorax coppery-black, the latter with a faint yellow stripe on the
tippets : palpi and sides of the head yellowish : antennae blue-black, with a
white ring towards the apex.

YPONOMEUTID.E. — ADELA. 229

Common in the vicinity of London during the end of spring and
beginning of summer, frequenting gardens and hedges, feeding upon
fruit trees. " Cambridge." — C C. Bahingtoriy Esq.

Genus CCCXXXI.— Adela, Latreille.

Palfn four ; labial slender, curved upward and sparingly clothed with long
loose hairs, the two basal joints stouter than the terminal, which is slender
and subfusiform ; maxillary minute : maxillee moderate, clothed externally
with long hairs nearly to the middle. Antennw contiguous, porrected, very
long, especially in the males, in which sex some of the basal joints are short
and hairy ; thickened only in the female : head small, pilose : eyes very large
in the males, approximating on the crown ; smaller in the females, and the
pubescence on the forehead pale in that sex : thorax sometimes hairy : wings
deflexed ; anterior lanceolate, frequently metallic ; cilia moderate ; posterior
ovate-lanceolate ; cilia rather long : body short and slender in the males ;
rather elongate and attenuated to the apex in the females.

The great length of the antennas and the large approximatmg eyes
of the male insects of this genus at once distinguish them from their
allies, and the females may be known also by the length of the
antennae, and their slender attenuated body, exclusively of their
pilose head and palpi, generally uniformly coloured metallic wings,
&c. : the species fly in groups in the sun-shine, having the habits of
Tipulae or Ephemerae.

YPONOMEUTID.B. COCHLEOFHASlA OFORINIA. 233

The insects of this genus may be known by the smoothness and
simple colouring of the anterior wings, which are destitute of fascia?,
and have the surface mottled or tessellated with a light colour upon
a darker ground; the cilia are short and satiny; the palpi also short,
and the maxillae are obliterated ; the antennae slightly pubescent in
the males, simple in the females, which sex is perfectly apterous.

Anterior wings pale brownish, obscurely tessellated with a paler tint, especially
towards the hinder margin ; the costa towards the apex sometimes with
three or four larger, pale spots : posterior wings immaculate : head bright
ochreous : antennae slightly downy. Female apterous ; dull chestnut, with
a brownish tuft towards the apex of the abdomen.

In my series I have specimens with several large pale spots towards the apex
of the costa.

Found, but not commonly, in various places iij the vicinity of
London : I have taken it at Darenth wood and near Hertford : it has
also occurred near Southampton at the end of May.

Anterior wings very pale ochreous-brown, totally immaculate; costa whitish:
posterior pale brownish : head yellow : antennae pubescent, as long as the
body.

In Mr. Haworth's late collection was a single injured specimen of
this very remarkable species, which was captured near London ; I
possess a very fine specimen that was found in July 1821 near
Brockenhurst, in the New Forest. " Cramond." — Rev. W. Little.

Genus CCCXXXIIL— Oporinia, Hilhner.

Palpi very short, porrect, slightly depending, clothed at the base with rather
long compact scales, the terminal joint exposed, short, acute : majcilla;
wanting. Antenna: about half the length of the wings, rather stout at the
base, joints distinct, clothed with fine pubescence withhi ; simple in the
females : head transverse, with the forehead slightly crested : eyes large,
globose: thorax moderate, not crested: wings glossy, entire, slightly recum-
bent during repose; anterior elongate-lanceolate, dusky, with indistinct

darker marks, one or two of which towards the centre are formed by
elevated scales; posterior ample, ovate-triangular; the hinder margin
faintly waved towards the apex ; cilia of all whitish and satiny : body rather
short, stout in the females, slender and carinated down the back in the males,
with a small tuft at the apex in both sexes.

This and the five followmg genera form the genus Lemmatophila
of Treitschke, or Diurnea of Haworth ; but the diversities in the
form and structure of the palpi, the difference in the hirsuties of the
body, the variation in the wings — some of the females being half-
winged, others perfectly apterous, and some intermediate — sufficiently
point out the necessity for dividing them as proposed in my Catalogue,
but most of which divisions were previously employed by Hiibner,
and have been subsequently confirmed, with an addition, by Mr.
Curtis. In the present genus both sexes are winged, the palpi are
rather long and depending, the anterior wings are long and smooth,
occasionally with one or two minute patches of elevated scales.

smooth : posterior ample, ovate-triangular ; cilia all rather short ; in the
female small, much shorter than the body, lanceolate, pilose : body rather
slender, carinated down the back with a small tuft at the apex ; stouter and
slightly acute in the females : legs slender.

From the foregoing and the preceding genera this may be known
by having the palpi very short and scarcely pilose, the wings glossy
and smooth, with two distinct dark spots on the disc, the nervures on
which are not elevated : the female has very short wings, the ends of
which appear pilose : the only known species is brumal.

remotis. (Exp. Alar. $, 7 — 9 lin.)

Ph. Py. gelatella. Linne.—N. G. gelatella. Steph. Catal. ii. 202. No. 7260.

Anterior wings in the male ashy-brown, with a faint whitish vitta, or streak,
in the middle, terminated at each end by a conspicuous round black dot ;
posterior immaculate ; female with mere rudiments of wings, rather paler
than in the male, with the two black dots somewhat distinct.

Rare : it has occurred in Epping Forest, near Walthamstow ; also
in Hampshire, but apparently local : on 27th December 1822 I saw
a great quantity flying in All Saints' Church-yard, Hertford, of
which I secured a pair, but since that period I have not seen the
insect alive.

Genus CCCXXXV. — Dasystoma, Curtis.

Palpi longer than the head, enveloped in dense elongate hairs, which almost
conceal them : maxillce wanting. Antennw moderate, ciliated in the males ;
in the female the basal joint large and swollen: head transverse, pilose:
eyes moderate, globose : thorax broad, hairy : wings decumbent during
repose; anterior sublanceolate, the costa curved, hinder margin rounded;
the disc with two long basal nervures and one transverse one towards the
apex elevated ; posterior moderate, ovate-triangular ; cUia all shortish, but
rough : the female with the anterior wings about half the length of the
body, narrow, rough; body rather long and stout, especially in the females,
, with a slight tult at the apex : legs rather stout.

236 HAUSTELLATA. — LEPIDOPTERA.

This genus differs from the foregoing by having the palpi con-
cealed in dense tufts of hair, the body generally pilose, the anterior
wings in the male with the costa curved, the disc with three elevated
nervures, two of them longitudinal, the other transverse ; the scales
on the wings are rather loosely placed and appear rough ; the female
has wings about half the length of the body, which last is pilose and
robust. The genus was first divided by Mr. Curtis : Hubner places
it with Cheimophila.

Sp. 1. Salicella. Alis ant ids fusco-purpurascentibus, maculis duabus magnis
roseis confluentibus, intersectis fasciis duabus, abbreviatis, nigris, (Exp. Alar.
$, 8—9 lin.)

Ti. Salicella. Hubner.—N. G. Salicella. Steph. CataL ii. 201. No. 7259.

Anterior wings purplish-brown, with the costa itself, and an irregular blotch,
extending from near the base of the disc to beyond the middle rosy ; this
blotch is divided by a slight dusky-black fascia before, and another behind,
the middle, neither of which extends to the inner margin : posterior wings
and cilia fuscous. Female subapterous, reddish ; rudimentary wings with
a narrow streak in the middle, and a second on the hinder margin dusky ;
cilia rosy.

Not very abundant : found in the autumn in the woods within the
metropolitan district, and also in the New Forest and in Devonshire.

Genus CCCXXXVI. — Cheimophila, Hubner.

Palpi rather long, slightly divaricating, slender, recurved, pilose at the base,
the apical joint exposed and sparingly covered with scales, somewhat
elongate, acute : maxillae very short. Antenna: in the males rather long,
pilose, and pubescent both within and without; simple in the females: head
small, with a tuft of scales between the antennse : eyes moderate, globose :
thorax slender, not crested: wings smooth, glossy, slightly decumbent
during repose ; anterior rather elongate, sublanceolate-truncate, of simple
colours, and destitute of markings ; cilia rather short ; posterior ovate-
triangular, faintly waved towards the apex ; cilia short : females wingless :
body rather long, subcylindric in the male, with a tuft at the apex ; very
broad, ovate, depressed and obtuse, with a small tuft in the females : leg.i
rather stout.

The males of this genus may be known by the simplicity of
colouring of their anterior wings, which have only two very obscure
dusky spots, placed thus : towards the apex, they are elongate and
smooth ; the palpi arc slender and recurved ; the antennas rather long

and pilose ; maxillae rudimentary : the females are broad and ovate,
apterous, and have simple antennae.

obsoletissima pallidiore. (Exp. Alar. ^,10 — lljlin.)

Ti. PhryganeUa. /TwAwer.—N. G. Phryganella. Steph. Cato/.ii.202. No. 7261.

Anterior wings obscure testaceous, and in fine specimens with a very obsolete
paler interrupted streak extending from the base to beyond the middle, and
terminating in two obscure black dots placed transversely; cilia rather
paler ; posterior wings dark fuscous, cilia somewhat paler. Female short,
orbiculate-ovate, ashy-brown, with mhmte rudimentary wings of a sublan-
ceolate form.

Not very uncommon towards the end of October in Coombe wood
and other woods within the metropolitan district : apparently more
frequent about Darenth.

Genus CCCXXXVII.— Diurnea, Haworth.

Palpi rather long, large, porrected, slightly ascending, nearly parallel, pilose
at the base, the terminal joint exposed, sparingly clothed with scales, and
rather short : viaxillw rudimentary. Antennw shortish, stout, clothed within
with a dense pubescence in the males, simple in the females, the basal joint
large and swollen: head subquadrate, with a tuft between the antennae:
eyes rather large, subglobose: thorax robust, not crested : M;z«g-5 incumbent
during repose : anterior, in the male, elongate-lanceolate, recurved at the
base ; disc pale, with dark markings ; cilia short : posterior elongate-trian-
gular, acute: in the female anterior wings very short, lanceolate-acute;
body shortish, moderately stout and subcylindric in the males ; robust and
obtuse in the females : legs rather short.

This genus, which is synonymous with Chimabache of Hiibner,
and nearly agrees with the typical division of Diurnea of Haworth,
has the palpi large, porrected, very densely clothed with scales, with
the apex exposed : tlie antennas in the males are densely pilose, and
the anterior wings elongated, pale, with irregular marks, resembling
letters ; but in the females they are short and acute.

middle, faintly resembling a prostrate Greek » , and a second behind, dentate
externally, and extending to the inner margin : between these streaks are
three or four rather conspicuous black or fuscous spots, and on the hinder
margin is a row of black dots ; cilia grey, with minute black dots on the
extreme edge : posterior wings immaculate, fuscous-ash, with paler cilia.
Female with abbreviated lanceolate-acute wings faintly marked as in the
male.

Extremely variable in tint, arising from the absence or increased intensity and
number of the fuscous dots on the wings.

Caterpillar feeds on the aspen; the pupa is very slender: the imago appears
towards the end of February, and is abundant throughout March in woody
places.
Very abundant in woods on the trunks of trees throughout the

metropolitan district, and I believe in other parts of the country.

Di. Novembris. Haworth.—Steph. Catal. ii. 202. No. 7263.

Anterior wings hoary, with an interrupted black streak extending from the
base to beyond the middle, and terminated by an oblique one which arises
on the costa behind the middle; the hinder portion of the wings is paler,
and bears two contiguous black dots, placed longitudinally : posterior wings
whitish, with the tips somewhat dusky.

Apparently a very rare species : it has been taken on trunks in
November near Kennington, and also at Walthamstow, and other
parts of Epping Forest.

Genus CCCXXXVIII.— Semioscopis, Hilbner.

Palpi two, elongate, slender, recurved, subulated, nearly parallel, the base
densely clothed with rather long scales, having the terminal joint exposed,
the latter very slender and acute : maxillw short. Antennae shortish, slender,
pubescent nearly to the apex in the males, simple in the females ; head small,
with a tuft between the antennse : eyes moderate, globose : thorax slender,
not crested : wings decumbent during repose ; anterior elongate lanceolate,
pale, with dark flexuous or twisted longitudinal streaks ; posterior ample,
ovate-triangular, entire ; cilia all short : body rather short, attenuated at the
apex, and with a small tuft in the males ; somewhat robust and obtuse in
the females : leg-s rather short and slender.

In my Catalogue I named this genus Epigraphia, from the letter-
like markings upon the anterior wings, by which character they may
be distinguished from the other genera of the group, — having only

rudimentary maxillae, or wanting them entirely — added to their elon-
gation, the slender pubescent antennae, and recurved slender palpi ;
the females are winged, and in general rather smaller than the males.

Ti. Avellanella. Hiibner.—Ep. Avellanella. Steph. Catal. ii. 202. No. 7264.

Anterior wings whitish or ash-coloured, sprinkled with darker atoms, with a
ramose longitudinal black streak, occasionally interrupted ; on the hinder
margin ; and sometimes at the apex of the costa, are some black or dusky-
spots : posterior wings brownish-ash.

Slightly variable in colour, some examples being darker than others.

Apparently very rare ; the only specimens I have seen have all
been taken in the vicinity of Birch and Darenth woods, in the
autumn.

Sp. 2. Steinkelnerana. Alis anticis cinereis, lined Jlexuosd atra disci, serieque

No. 7265.
Anterior wings ashy-brown, with a distinct flexuous longitudinal black streak,

sometimes a little interrupted on the disc, the latter also with a few remote

minute brownish spots ; on the hinder margin is a row of black dots :

posterior wings immaculate, dusky-ash.

Not very uncommon in hedges towards the end of March : at
Hertford and Coombe wood I have occasionally taken it.

Gekus CCCXXXIX. — Anesychia, Huhner.

Palpi two, long, slender, ascending, slightly recurved, and somewhat divari-
cating, clothed with very short scales, and appearing naked, the terminal
joint very much exposed, slanting outwards, very slender, elongate, and
acute : maxilla; stout, spiral. Antennae simple, finely pubescent within in the
males : head transverse, thickly clothed with longish scales : eyes large, pro-
minent : thorax broad, not crested : wings ample, convoluted during repose ;
anterior linear-lanceolate, faintly truncate behind ; coloured white and
black, the latter generally disposed in more or less interrupted longitudinal
streaks or rows ; posterior very large ; cilia all moderate : body slender,
rather stout and conical in the females. Larva solitary, slightly pubescent :
pupa inclosed in an ovate firm cocoon.

The present genus — which I had called ISIclanoleuca in my Cata-
logue— not only differs from the following by having the palpi

ascending and slightly incurved, but the entire habit of the insects
both in the imago and larva states is dissimilar : in these insects the
anterior wings, which are somewhat obliquely truncate on the hinder
margin, are adorned with large blotches and dots of black on a pale
(usually white) ground, and the larvae do not reside in communities,
but are solitary : I, therefore, adhere to my former opinion, in sepa-
rating the two genera, though, as Hlibner had previously named and
characterized the present, I have reverted to his name.

A. Anterior wings with confluent black spots, forming a longitudinal streak
from the base nearly, or entirely, to the apex : — Anesychia, H'libner.

Anterior wings deep fuscous on the costa, excepting the apex, which is ashy,
the inner margin whitish or cream-colour, the fuscous portion within
sinuated, and having about three conspicuous projecting blackish dots ; on
the extreme hinder margin, extending a little along the costa, is a row of
minute black dots ; posterior wings whitish, with the apex ashy ; abdomen
luteous ; thorax whitish, with about six black dots.

Caterpillar black, with a whitish lateral stripe, and a yellowish spot on the
first and last segment: it feeds on the Viper-grass {Echium vulgare).

The beautiful pair of this species in the British Museum was
taken near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, in June, I believe in 181C;
not at Dover, as stated by Mr. Curtis; but the specimen in my
collection was found there many years previously.

Anterior wings white or cream-colour, with an irregular waved black stripe,
extending from the base to near the apex, composed, as it were, of rhomboid
black spots, with two detached round black dots near the base on the inner
margin, and one on the outer; also a large rhombic spot about the middle
of the costa, and two or three rather minute dots towards the apex of the
costa, exclusively of a row of black dots which commences from the rhomboid
costal spot and terminates on the hinder angle : cilia white, with a dusky
dot on the anterior angle : posterior wings ashy-brown and glossy, with an
interrupted brownish line on the extreme edge; cilia white, with a dusky
spot at the apical angle : thorax with seven black dots.

YPOXOMEUTID.E.-^YPONOMEUTA. 241

Caterpillar black, with yellowish dorsal and lateral lines: it feeds on the
nettle, &c. and the imago appears in June.

The specimen of this rare and beautiful species that is in the
British Museum collection was found in June 1812, by an assiduous
collector of the name of Sharp in a chalk-pit near Dareiith wood,
and I possess a second that occurred near Gravesend.

ashy lead colour, immaculate.

Rare : four or five specimens have been beaten out of the fir-trees
at Birch wood in June ; and others have occurred at Coombe wood.

Bristol, by Captain Blomer.

Genus CCCXL. — ■"Ypongmeuta, Latreille.

Palpi two, cylindric, elongate, slightly divaricating, porrected nearly hori-
zontally, covered equally with scales, the terminal joint very long, slender,
and acute: maxillce rather slender, elongate. Antennceloug, slender, similar
in both sexes, faintly pubescent within : head small, densely clothed with
erect scales on the crown : eyes moderate, prominent : thorax rather stout,
not crested behind : wings large, convoluted during repose ; ajiterior long
and linear, somewhat rounded at the apex, pale, marked with minute black
dots, disposed somewhat in lines ; posterior also elongate and sublinear ;

cilia all short : body long and slender, with a small tuft at the apex, stouter
in the females.

Yp. Evonymella is given as the type of this genus by Latreille in
the 3rd volume of his Histoire Naturellc des Crustaces et des Insects,
I have therefore here, as in my Catalogue, adhered to his nomen-
clature. From the remarks appended to Anesychia it will be evident
that this genus ought to be divided from Yponomeuta: the palpi
are slender, porrected nearly horizontally, the anterior wings are
somewhat rounded on the hinder margin, and adorned throughout
with minute distinct black dots, disposed with some regularity in lon-
gitudinal hues on a pale lead-coloured or whitish ground : the larva?
reside in large communities, and commit great devastations from
their numbers. This genus is synonymous with Nygmia of Hubner.

Steph. Catal. ii. 203. Xo. 7270.

Anterior wings snow-white, each with about four longitudinal rows of minute
black dots, placed somewhat regularly towards the base, and on the inner
margin, but confusedly towards the apex, in number about fifty : cilia
immaculate: posterior wings and abdomen above fuscous; cilia ashy: head
immaculate-white : thorax white, with four black dots.

Caterpillar ochreous-yellow, with ten black dots on each side, and a brown
head; it feeds gregariously in a large net on the Spindle- tree (^MOwT/mwi
Europceus): the imago appears towards the end of June, and continues to
ths beginning of August.

Not common ; but found at times rather plentifully in hedges and
gardens at the top of i\Iaidcn-lane, near Highgate : also taken near
Darenth wood and Hertford, and in the New Forest and Devon-
shire.

towards the hinder margin, the disc with numerous minute black dots, irre-
gularly disposed ; cilia lead-colour: posterior wings and abdomen lead-
coloured-brown, cilia the same: head and thorax white, the latter with
four black dots.

Very rare: I have a pair which I found many years since at

YPOMOMEOTin.E. YPONOMEUTA. 243

Coombe wood in June, and have had others that were captured near
Uirch wood : it appears to be a local species.

twenty remote black dots, placed irregularly in longitudinal rows, and
somewhat confluent towards the apex ; thorax with four spots; head imma-
culate ; posterior wings silvery-ash, with pale or whitish cilia.

Found, not uncommonly, in the lane leading to Darenth wood
from the road, at the end of June and beginning of July ; also in
gardens near London : I have frequently taken it at the Hermitage
and at Ripley. I believe the larva feeds on the pear.

Anterior wings livid or whitish, with about thirty remote minute black dots
disposed somewhat regularly in longitudinal rows, but on the hinder margin
they are more irregular, and tend to a transverse disposition ; cilia livid:
posterior wings lead-colour ; cilia rather paler.

Extremely variable, some examples having the ground of the anterior wings
white, others with the costa livid and the inner margin white; some with a
livid or pale lead-coloured central cloud ; others, again, entirely of a pale
or deep lead-colour ; and all intermediate shades occur : the number of spots
also varies.

Anterior wings pale lead-colour or whitishj with a fuscous spot in the middle
towards the inner edge, and a rounded spot of the same at the apex; the
disc with numerous minute black dots, disposed somewhat regularly in
longitudinal lines ; cilia fuscous on the anterior angle, pale on the hinder
one : posterior wings and body fuscous ; cilia the same.
Rather scarce: it occurs in July in the neighbourhood of London,

at Darenth wood, Hertford, Coombe wood, Ripley, &c., and I found

a single example last season at the Hermitage.

Genus CCCXLI. — Telea* mihi.

Palpi moderate, slender, slightly ascending and divaricating, subfiliform, the
two basal joints rather stoutest, the apical one elongate and a little atte-
nuated at the apex : maxillcs long and spiral. Antennae short, slender,
similar in both sexes, but rather pubescent within in the males: head
moderate, with a subquadrate raised patch of imbricated scales between the
eyes, the latter prominent : tho?-ax stoutish, rather elevated behind : wings
convoluted during repose ; anterior elongate, sublinear, generally pale, with
a more or less distinct dark patch on the anterior apex of the hinder
margin, occasionally with a central fascia ; cilia moderate : posterior sub-
lanceolate, dark, with ample cilia : body short, stout, more so in the females,
with a minute tuft at the apex.

As neither of the insects belonging to this genus are included by
Latrcille in his genus Yponomeuta, and as the type of the genus
Erminea of Haworth is Yp. Evonymella, it is obviously improper to
apply either of the above names here ; and as this genus is com-
pounded of several of Hubner's genera, it appears preferable to pro-
pose a new appellation than employ either of his names, although
Pa. Cratsegella is the type of his Scythropia. From Yponomeuta these
insects differ in not having the anterior wings marked with simple
remote black dots, but in having them either transversely fasciated

Anterior wings snow-white, sprinkled with fuscous at the base, the costa
from near the base to the middle brown-black, which colour is dilated on
the disc, and forms an abbreviated broad triangular fascia; the hinder
margin with some confluent black spots, forming a border : posterior wings
and all the cilia leaden-brown.

Variable : in some examples the large dark costal spot on the anterior wings
is sprinkled with whitish ; others with lutescent on a creamy ground ; in
some the hinder margin is also more or less varied with whitish.

Not very uncommon in hedges and gardens throughout the metro-
politan district, in June and July. I have frequently taken it at the
Hermitage, and also at Hertford and Ripley.

palpi, makes a close approach to Anacampsis, with which genus it may be
advisable to associate it.

Common in gardens in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, cspe
cially about South Lambeth; frequent also at Kipley and Hertford.

2i8 HAUSTELLATA. — LEPIDOPTEKA.

Ismene — ■which comprehends a portion of the genera IMompha and
Euota of Hlibncr — differs from Telea by having the anterior wings
more ekmgate and slender ; they are rounded at the apex, and the cilia
on the hinder margin are very short anteriorly, and elongate on the
posterior angle ; the disc and costa are usually of dark colours, and
the inner margin generally white, the latter mostly intersected by a
dark spot, which frequently extends to the costa ; the posterior wings
are also long and slender, with elongate cilia ; the head smooth in
front, very rough on the crown ; palpi short and slender, less incurved
than in the preceding genus.

broad white streak on the inner margin, divided by an oblique purplish
fascia in the middle : posterior wings fuscous.

Common in Epping Forest, and in other places within the metro-
politan district ; also found in the New Forest, Devonshire, &c. in
June and July.

Anterior wings griseous, with a longitudinal snow-white line on the inner
margin, hiterrupted rather behind the middle by a fuscous lunule : posterior
wings leaden-brown and glossy.

Linnffius says that this species, when at rest, conceals its hinder legs, the
anterior four serving it for support, whence the name he applied to it, but
which might with equal propriety be employed for many other of the
Tineidae, &c.

Not uncommon in gardens within the metropohtan district in
June.

Anterior wings slight shining, snowy white, with a few scattered fuscous
dots, and in the middle a brownish crescent; the apex or hinder margin
also brownish: posterior wings and cilia shining lead-coloured-brown, the
latter very deep.

Kather variable, some examples having the lunule on the anterior wings not
extending to the costa, while in others it completely reaches that part, or is
occasionally a little extended along the costa, anteriorly and posteriorly ;
some specimens have one or two triangular fuscous dots on the extreme
edge of the inner marghi towards the base.

Not uncommon in gardens and in marshy places where willows
abound throughout the metropolitan district, in June and July.

the base of the costa, an oblique black fascia in the middle, angulated

exteriorly, the angle very prominent, and on the apex of the costa a more or

less distinct black dot : posterior wings and cilia ash-colour : thorax snowy :

head fuscous.
Rather variable : in some examples the posterior black dot is wanting: others

have some fuscous or blackish clouds and dots on the hinder margin ; and

some have the wings a little clouded with yellowish.

Somewhat rare, being apparently very local : I have, however,
frequently taken it at Darenth wood, and also at liipley, in the
beginning of July.

Anterior wings of a shining bone-white, or cream-colour, with a slight silvery
gloss ; the surface sparingly sprinkled with ochreous-white atoms, thickest
towards the apex, the latter with a varied somewhat lutcscent dot, on the
anterior angle, surrounded by a white circle and a lutescent exterior one,
the latter extending outwardly to the tip of the cilia : posterior wings
fuscous.

Apparently very rare: I have a pair which I caught several years
since in June, at Darenth wood.

Genus CCCXLIII. — Argyrosetia* mihi.

Palpi slender, rather long, drooping and incurved, not bent backwards,
slightly divaricating, clothed with very short scales, the terminal joint nearly
as long as the other two, and bent, its apex acute: via.iilla; rather short.
Aniennw not so long as the whigs, slender, with the basal johit robust ;
simple in both sexes : head small, with imbricated scales in front, and a tuft
of porrected ones on the crown: eyes small: </torax rather slender : wings
convoluted; anterior sublanceolate-linear, rounded at the apex, the disc
with darker metallic fascise, more or less resembling letters, the hinder
margin with short cilia anteriorly, and very long ones posteriorly : posterior
wings sublanceolate-acute, with very long cilia : body rather long and
slender, acuminate in the females.

The insects comprised in this beautiful genus — which nearly
corresponds with Argyresthia of Iliibner — differ from the fore-
going by the brilliant metallic hue with which their anterior wings
are adorned, the ground colour being generally pale silvery,
with various lines thereon, more or less resembling letters, some
extremely distinct ; they are long and sublanceolate, with short cilia
on the anterior angle, and very long ones on the hinder one, as in the
following genera ; but from them they may be known by having the

palpi directed obliquely forwards or downwards, not backwards ; they
are also slightly bent, and the terminal joint is apparently not longer
than the others. I believe the species are double-brooded, having
taken some specimens occasionally in May : I possess all Haworth's
original specimens and fine suites of varieties.

Anterior wings golden-silver, with three stout golden-red fasciae, resembling
letters ; the first towards the base resembling an oblique I, the second in
the middle forming a V, and the third a badly formed prostrate T: at the
apex is a faint silvery spot : posterior wings lead-colour, with golden-brown
cilia : head fulvescent.
Extremely variable, the golden fasciae being sometimes in part obliterated,
and occasionally entirely obliterated, from the extension of that colour more
or less over the surface, which is sometimes entirely golden, with the costa
a little paler.

This beautiful insect occurs in plenty in the vicinity of the metro-
polis, especially in woods where birch abounds, as at Coombe,
Darenth, and Birch woods, at the end of June and beginning of
July : found also in the New Forest and in Devonshire. " Gardens,

Anterior wings silvery, with a faint golden tint, with three abbreviated pale
golden fasciae on the inner margin, the first extending from the middle of the
base to that of the inner margin, the second in the middle reaching obliquely
towards the apex, the third resembling a spot on the posterior angle :
posterior wings pale lead-colour, with pale golden-brown cilia.

In some examples the two anterior fasciae are slightly connected : in others
they are somewhat obliterated.

Not so common as the last, but, nevertheless, far from uncommon in
the neighbourhood of London. I have frequently taken it at Coombe
and Darenth woods, at the end of June, and at Ripley and Hertford.

this is an angulated fascia resembling the letter W, the four lines of which it
is composed extending from the costa to the inner margin, and having a
minute silvery spot near the apex: posterior wings lead-coloured, with
golden-brown cilia : head and thorax snow-white.

Also far from common in the vicinity of the metropohs, occurring

abbreviated fascise resembling Greek letters ; the first near the base like an
I, the second in the middle like an inverted X, and the third on the posterior
angle representing an Q ; cilia golden-brown : posterior wings lead-
coloured, with golden-brown cilia : head and thorax fulvescent.

Slightly variable: in some examples the golden fasciae are rather more distinct
and stouter than in others.

This appears to be a rare species : I possess three fine varieties,
two of them Haworth''s original specimens, which were captured at
Coombe wood : I had previously taken the insect at Darenth in
June.

inner margin, and not touching the costa, but connected on the disc towards
the costa, with a second flexuous fascia extending from the costa to the inner
margin and apex, and resembling a Roman V : posterior wings lead-coloured,

Genus CCCXLIV. — Argyrcmyges, Curtis.

Palpi two, very short, drooping, slightly divaricating, nearly straight, bent
obliquely backwards, subfiliform, and clothed uniformly with scales, the
terminal joint longer than the others combined, compressed, obtuse : maxilla
rather short. Antennw nearly as long as the wings, similar in both sexes,
the basal joint robust : head small, clothed with imbricated scales in front,
and with erect ones on the crown: eyes small: thorax moderate, not
crested : wings convoluted during repose ; anterior linear, sublanceolate,
frequently adorned with metallic colours, displayed in obliquely-placed
markings : cilia very long on the hinder angle and a portion of the inner
margin ; posterior very slender, linear, with very long cilia on both margins :
body rather long and slender, acuminated in the females.

This genus comprehends some of the most beautiful of our Lepi-
dopterous insects ; they are in general minute, with very narrow
anterior wings, more or less marked with gold and silver, the latter, of
pale colours, being mostly disposed obliquely on both the costal and
inner margin, thereby forming acutely angulated marks ; the apex is
also frequently adorned with a slightly darkened ocellar spot ; the cilia
are remarkably long both at the apex of the inner margin and on each

YrOXOMF-I'TIU E. — ARC. VKOM VCi F,S. 255

edge of the posterior wings, which are very slender ; the palpi are short,
and droop considerably, are straight and bent backwards; during repose
the antennae (as in many other of the smaller Lcpidoptera) are bent
under the wings : there is considerable diversity of markings amongst
them, which, as usual, has not escaped the vigilance of Iliibner,
whose groups I will attempt to indicate; but, as Hiibnerhas noticed
only a few of the indigenous species, I have added his generic names
to such only as he enumerates.

four silvery spots on the costa, the two last approximating, and three others
on the inner margin, the first elongate and oblique, the others gradually
shorter ; at the apex is a slightly tawny streak : posterior wings somewhat
silvery immaculate.

Fabricius, in his specific character, says " lineola apicis," evidently in mistake
for " baseos," the latter term admirably suiting this pretty insect.

Scarce : found in Coombe wood, and occasionally at Darenth, at

262 H AUSTELL AT A. — LEPIDOPTERA.

These beautiful insects are conspicuous, amongst the small moths,
for their dark hues, combined with the peculiarities of their markings,
the anterior wings being generally fuscous, with a golden tint, and
marked on the tip of the costa with some short silvery lines or spots,
some of which extend to the inner or posterior margin, and occasionally
there is a conspicuous curved white mark in the middle of the inner
margin, forming, with the faint streak on the costa, an angulated
wedge-shaped mark. The species appear about the end of May, and
frequent grassy places.

blackish spot at the apex : posterior wings fuscescent.

I with pleasure named this conspicuously beautiful insect after my
lamented friend Haworth, and in memory of his valuable labours,
which have so materially assisted me in the Lepidopterous portion of
this work, I continue the appellation : the only locality that I am
aware of for the insect is the vicinity of Birmingham, whence I have

This genus (which requires further subdivision) contains the most
minute of the Lepidopterous insects ; the species of which it is
composed may be generally recognised by having the anterior wings
of very dark — sometimes jet black — colours, with a transverse pale
continuous fascia, pale or silvery, near the base, and an interrupted
one towards the apex ; the cilia are moderate, and the posterior wings
are frequently also dark, with longish cilia. The larvae feed, as in
Argyromyges, within the surface of leaves, on the parenchyma.

YPONOMEUTID.E. — GLYPHIPTERYX. 271

Genus CCCXLVII. — Glyphipteryx, Hilhner.

Palpi drooping and divergent, slender ; longer than the head, a little curved,
and sparingly clothed with very short scales, the terminal johit nearly as
long as, and more slender than, the second, attenuated and acute : maxillae
short, and scaly at the base. Antennoe slender, as long as the wings, simple
in both sexes : head obovate, slightly produced in front, and clothed with
shining imbricated scales : eyes small, prominent : thorax not crested : wings
slightly deflexed during repose ; anterior sublanceolate-linear, and generally
with raised scales; the hinder margin with the tip of the costa and inner
margin deeply ciliated: posterior wings lanceolate, with long cilia: body
rather long and slender.

The insects of this pretty genus, named as above and characterized
by Hiibner,* may be known by having the anterior wings adorned
with varied or embossed metaUic spots, generally on a tawny or orange
ground, the wings themselves terminating in a series of elongate
scales, which become gradually lost in the cilia, so that the hinder
margin is indefinite and rounded, the wings being sublanceolate ;
the palpi are curved and drooping, and the entire insect in general is
of a brilliant metallic hue : the larvae are subcutaneous.

placed in a triangle, and an obsolete interrupted line on the costa, with a
minute dot at the base also metallic : posterior wings fuscous, with a faint
metallic violet tinge; cilia dusky: antennae black, with the apex white.

A local species, but found in plenty at times in the vicinity of
London, especially in Battersea-fields, Chelsea, and Kensington,
about the end of July and beginning of August : I have a splendid
series, which was taken in St. James's Park by Mr. B. R. Lewis.

violet, or a golden-tint; cilia long and black: posterior wings fuscous,
glossy, with paler opaque cilia.

The above description of this most splendid insect is drawn up from Lepi-
doptera Britannica, with slight alterations, to agree with the only known
specimens.

I have seen two examples only of this truly beautiful species ; one
of them was in the collection of t!ie late Mr. Haworth, and was taken
near London ; the other is in my own cabinet, having taken it in
July 18^7 i" Ilolme-wood-lane, near Ripley.

have the anterior wings frequently adorned with raised metallic spots
on a fulvesccnt ground, and the entire body is more or less of a
metallic splendour ; but from them they differ in having the palpi
incurved, and the anterior wings more linear and elongate. The
larvas feed on the inner substance of leaves, like those of the allied

The pretty insects contained in this genus may be known by their
generally uniform pale metallic splendour, rarely having any other
than a few marginal streaks or characters, also of a metallic hue, but
paler than the ground colour ; the anterior wings are rather long and
narrow, with the hinder margin somewhat truncate ; the palpi are
slender, a little divaricating, curved upwards, and acute ; the head
smooth, the posterior legs rather long, and fringed within with fine
hairs, the posterior spurs being long : — the species appear to frequent

anterior wings dusky-black : head fulvous.

Extremely variable in the intensity of the silvery markings, which are some-
times produced into transverse fasciae, at others almost obliterated ; and
intermediate shades occur.

This is a rare species, but occurs throughout the metropolitan

Genus CCCL. — Hakfagus mihi.

Palpi considerably longer than the head^ and greatly incurved, the basal joints
clothed with rather long scales, the apical one with very short ones, the
latter joint slender, longer than the preceding, and gradually tapering to the
apex, which is very acute : maxillcs short. AntenncB rather short and stoutish^,
faintly serrated towards the apex : head small, glossy, clothed with imbri-
cated scales in front : eyes small : thorax slender, not crested : vrings slightly
depressed during repose; anterior elongate sublinear, truncate on the hinder
margin, the disc black, with a central or subcentral transverse pale fascia;
cilia short; posterior wings elongate-ovate, with rather long cilia: body
short, stoutish, especially in the females : legs short, intermediate tibiae
incrassated.

Without attending to the minute characters of structure in the
insects of this genus, they may be recognised with facility by having
the anterior wings deep black, with a single transverse white fascia ;
the anterior wings themselves are rather long, broader than in the
allied genera, a little rounded behind, and have short cilia ; the
palpi are very long and recurved, slender at the apex, the terminal
joint being longer than the preceding : — the species frequent willows
and poplars.

rather obtuse : maxillce short. Antenncs rather short, faintly serrated, espe-
cially towards the apex, less so in the females : head subglobose, clothed
with shining metallic scales ; thorax the same, not crested : wings slightly
deflexed during repose ; anterior elongate, narrow, and lanceolate, the apex

This genus differs from its allies by having the anterior v/ings very
long, sublanccolate, and slender, with the apex acute and subfalcate,
the disc marked with longitudinal metallic streaks on a pale ground ;
the posterior wings are also narrow, with longish cilia : the head is
remarkably smooth and glossy ; the palpi long, slender, slightly
incurved, and composed of three nearly equal joints ; the antennae
are rather short, and finely serrated towards the apex.

dusky or deep brown, rarely black ; in the middle of the first streak, about
the juncture of the nervures, is a black dot, a little confluent with the costa :
posterior wings fuscous; cilia the same.

The only locality I remember for this pretty species is the west
side of the Warren at Coombe wood, where I have frequently taken
it about the middle of June.

YPONOMEIjTID.E. METALLOSETIA. 283

Gexus CCCLIII. — Metallosetia* mihl.

Palpi longer than the head, curved upwards, and considerably divaricathig,
clothed with metallic scales, especially at the base, the terminal joint, which
is rather shorter and more slender than the second, being most exposed, and
acute : maxilla' moderate. AiitennoE moderate, longest and nearly simple in
the females ; in the males the base is clothed with broad metallic scales
nearly to the middle, the basal joint being stoutest, and the rest attenuated
to the middle, the terminal ones being most slender and generally pale : head
small, subglobose, clothed with depressed metallic scales: eyes prominent:
thorax ovate : wings slightly convoluted during repose ; anterior long and
lanceolate, metallic and immaculate, with long cilia on the apical half of the
inner margin ; posterior very narrow, with longish cilia on the anterior, and
very long ones on the posterior, margin : body whitish and rather slender ;
acute in the females.

This singular genus — first named and characterized by me-f- — is
distinguished not only by the brilliant, immaculate, metallic splendour
of its anterior wings, which are very long, slender, and acute, but by
the peculiarity in the structure of the antennae, especially in the
males, in which sex the basal joints are very considerably enlarged
by having them clothed with broad metallic scales, gradually decreas-
ing in width to the middle of the antennae ; the latter are rather
slender at the apex and pale : the palpi are longish and incurved :
the head, thorax, &c. metallic, and the posterior wings adorned with
long cilia, which are continued on the anterior margin.

fuscous, with a coppery tint; cilia blackish: antenuffi spotted with black in
the middle, the apex white.

Found in June near Ripley ; also in the fens in the vicinity of
Whittlesea Mere, in July 1833 : it has likewise been taken, accord-
ing to Mr. Curtis, near Glanvillcs Wootton, and near Cobham: I
generally find it in damp situations ; it appears to be rare.

Taken ratlicr plentifully on the flowers of the trefoil, in July 1827,
at Ripley ; I have since captured it at Hertford : it has also oc-
curred in the Isle of Portland and near Charmouth, according to
Mr. Curtis.

Genus CCCLIV. — Pokrectauia, Hawortk.

Palpi rather short and stout, drooping, or somewhat porrectcd ; slender at the
base and apex, and thickened in the middle, with elongate scales, the ter-
minal joint short and very acute: maxillce short. AntenncB rather long,
simple, stoutish at the base, and furnished with an elongate tuft of scales
within at their origin : head small, clothed with short, broad, imbricated
scales, rather loosely placed on the forehead : eyes small: thorax moderate,
not crested : wings deflexed during repose ; anterior very slender, elongate,
subacute, occasionally a little falcated ; the disc usually pale, with some
darker longitudinal streaks, the inner margin furnished at the apex with very
long cilia : posterior wings also elongate-acute, rather small, and furnished
with very long cilia on both margins : body longish and rather stout, obtuse
in the females : legs moderate.

The insects of this singular genus may be known by having the
anterior wings very long and narrow, almost acute at the apex, which
is furnished on its inner edge with very long cilia ; the disc is usually
pale, with sometimes a few darker or metallic longitudinal lines;
during repose the wings are deflexed, and the antennae directed
forwards, so as to produce the form of a very elongate cone ; the
antennee themselves are very long, and are furnished at the base with
a large porrectcd tuft of loose scales ; the palpi are short and droop-
ing ; and the posterior wings have very long cilia, especially on the
hinder margin : the larvas reside in a kind of cot, which they carry
about with them ; and the pupas have a recurved process in front.

posterior obscure ochreous-brown, with long lutescent cilia : head bright

clay colour, or diity-yellow.
The anterior wings have sometimes two small and rather indistinct duslcy dots

a little behind the middle of the disc.

Also a rare species : it has been taken occasionally at Darenth
wood in July : two or three specimens have been there taken during
the past season, and also near Camberwell.

Family III— TINEID.^ mihi.

Antennae rather short, inserted on the crown between the eyes, slender, the
base sometimes thickened, or furnished with an appendage of scales, and in
the males the inner side frequently pubescent, and occasionally subpecti-
nated. Palin generally four, rarely only two, porrected or recurved ;
maxillary very short, and sometimes concealed in the scales of the front ;
labial triarticulate, and generally thickly clothed with scales, so as to conceal
their actual form : maxillae short: head smaW, mostly furnished with long,
erect scales in front : eyes moderate, or large : thorax moderate, rarely
crested, but sometimes elevated, behind : wings undivided, generally more
or less convolutt d during repose ; anterior mostly elongate-triangular, the
hinder margin either rounded or truncate, sometimes emarginate, retuse or
falcate ; cilia moderate ; posterior frequently ample, furnished with shortish
cilia and much folded : abdomen longish, slender, with the apex slightly
tufted in the females, though sometimes very acute and elongate, and naked

TINEID.E. ACHROIA. 293

at the tip : legs moderate, occasionally the hinder pair elongated, and ciliated
within, with the apical spurs also long and acute. Larva slightly pubescent,
or naked, generally residing in a case formed of its food, and enlarged from
time to time ; rarely exposed, and, I believe, never subcutaneous : pi/pa either
formed in its original case, or in a cocoon ; occasionally subterranean.

The insects of this rather extensive family differ in general in
their large stature from those of the foregoing one, and in these the
palpi are generally four in number, whereas in those they rarely
exceed two, and when they do, the additional pair, or maxillary ones,
are generally very minute, whereas in the Tineidae they are most
frequently exposed and very distinct, though in a few of the genera
they are not very apparent, without the denudation of the front of
the head ; the latter is generally clothed with elongate erect scales,
forming a sort of crest, and is very rarely smooth : the antennae arc
generally whitish, never exceeding the length of the body: the wings,
especially the posterior ones, are ample, undivided, and mostly
closely convoluted round the body during repose, the cilia of all being
rather short : brilliant metallic colours rarely prevail, the usual tints
being of a rather sombre hue, in which ochre, white, or buff colour,
with longitudinal marks, or varied irregular characters, are conspi-
cuous ; the posterior wings being generally plain.

In the larva state some of these insects are very injurious to
human property, as hereafter referred to, destroying woollen clothes,
corn, our " honied stores," &c. : others are, as far as ascertained,
innocuous : many of them reside in cases, or little houses, which they
enlarge from time to time, and in which they change to pupa: in some
few instances the latter are subterranean, and the larvse reside within
the stalks of plants, but I believe none of them are subcutaneous.

Genus CCCLVII. — Achroia, Huhner.

Palpi four, all very short ; maxillary concealed in the scales of the forehead ;
labial slightly exposed and depending, the apex obtuse, and clothed with
scales : maxillte very short. Antennw short, slender, faintly serrated to the
apex, the basal joint broad, scaly ; head smooth, densely clothed with
depressed shining scales : eyes small : thorax rather stout, slightly ovate :
wings narrow ; anterior somewhat horizontally incumbent during repose,
sublanceolate, with the apex rounded, of plain hues and immaculate ;
posterior rather ample, subtriangular, folded ; cilia short : body rather
slender, and somewhat elongate; obtuse and tufted at the apex in the males;
?toutcr, more elongate, and acute at the tip in the females : legs slender.

29-1 II AUSTELL ATA. LEPIDOPTERA.

This singular genus of moths contains only one indigenous species,
which, with one or two of the subsequent ones, has been placed with
the Lithosicic by some writers : Hiibner appears to be the first who
established it as a genus : from the true Galleriae it differs by having
the palpi very short, being almost totally concealed beneath the scales
of the front, the thorax and abdomen being slender, and the anterior
wings short, sublanceolate, and gradually rounded on the hinder
margin, the disc being of a pale hue, and totally destitute of markings :
the larva feeds upon honey, but I am not aware of the species of bee
whose nest is subject to its attacks.

Anterior wings and thorax brownish-ash, immaculate; posterior wings pale
ash colour ; abdomen the same, and a little silken : head yellow on the
front.

A very rare species : I have received examples, which were
captured in June, in Devonshire, and now possess a very fine and
perfect series from the late Mr. Haworth's collection : taken by him
near London.

Genus CCCLVIII. — Galleria, Fahricins.

Palpi four; dissimilar in the sexes; maxillary in both concealed by the
frontal scales; labial in the males ascending, densely clothed with scales^ in
the female shorter and depending, in the form of a brush: maxillce short.
Antennce rather short and stoutish, simple in both sexes, with the basal
joint very stout, and furnished with a long bundle of scales within : head
short and broad, with a conical tuft of scales in front, in which the maxillary
palpi are concealed : eyes moderate : thorax stout, elevated behind : wings
narrow, much longer than broad, incumbent within on the body, deflexed
anteriorly, so as to form an angulated kind of figure during repose ; anterior
emarginate at the apex in the males, truncate in the females ; posterior
ample, folded ; cilia short : body rather long, robust, acute, and with a small
tuft at the apex in the males; very acute and elongate, with an exserted
ovipositor in the females : legs rather short.

Larva melliphagous, slender, naked, with sixteen legs : pupa formed in a cocoon
amongst its food.

bined with the rctuse or notched hinder margin of the anterior wings,

which are of a sombre tint, with irregular longitudinal marks on the
inner margin ; the ascending and more distinct palpi of the males,
and drooping ones of the females, in which sex the wings are obtuse,
suflficiently indicate its distinctness from the foregoing and following
genera.

Ph. Ge. cereana. Linne. — Ph. Ti. mellonelia. Donovan, v. viii. pi. 283. —
Ga. cereana. Steph. Catal. ii. 213. No. 7411.

Anterior wings griseous, palest at the base and darkest on the hinder margin ;
near the inner are some abbreviated longitudinal purple-brown streaks; the
thorax is blackish behind, with a pale spot : posterior wings bright ashy-
grey, with the nervures and hinder margin dusky ; cilia ashy-white, with a
dusky or yellowish line at the base. The female has the anterior wings
darker than the male.

Caterpillar flesh-colour, with a chestnut-brown head, and a palish line on the
back : it feeds in the hive of the Honey-bee (Apis mellifica) subsisting oii
the honey.

Also a rare insect, but a considerable number of specimens have
been occasionally taken near Birch wood, others near Epping, and in
Devonshire and Norfolk, at the end of June, or beginning of July.

Genus CCCLIX. — Ilythia, Latreille.

Po/jBJ four; dissimilar in the sexes; in the males concealed within the scales
of the head ; maxillary triarticulate, with a large terminal joint, furnished
with very long scales; labial turned upwards, the two basal joints robust,
the terminal one spoonshaped, and armed with two bifid claws ; in the
females, the maxillary palpi are apparent, but enveloped in a tuft of long
scales, and the labial ones are considerably elongated, divergent, compressed,
porrected horizontally forwards, and with the terminal joint deflexed and
acute : maxillw short. Antenna: alike in the sexes, shortish, finely pubescent
within, with the basal joint very robust: head small, with a tuft of scales
in front: eyes moderate: wings convoluted during repose ; anterior rather
long and narrow, rounded on the hinder margin, of dissimilar habit in the
sexes, being narrowed and with the costa somewhat arched in the males,
and broad, with a straight costa, in the females ; posterior ample, and much
folded : cilia short : body rather long, cylindric and obtuse in the males ;
depressed, with elevated sides, and rather acute at the apex in the females ;
in both sexes with a small tuft at the apex : legs moderate.

The sexual disparity of the insects contained in this genus is very

remarkable, so great as to have caused all English writers, who have
departed from the Linnean arrangement (in which, however, they
are given as two species,) to place them in two genera : Haworth
placing the male in Lithosia (after Fabricius), and the female
in Crambus ; and Curtis, after me, inserting the former as the
type of the genus Melia, a name that necessarily sinks,* and the
latter as the only species of Ilythia, after Latreille ; and as there is
no objection to this appellation, I shall here adopt it. The males
are remarkable by having the palpi concealed in the scales of the
front, the base of the antennae being furnished with a long fascicle of
hairs on the basal joint, which is very large, the anterior wings being
long, narrow, subtruncate, pale at the base, and dark at the apex,
with transverse waved dark streaks on the disc; the body rather
long : the females, on the contrary, have the palpi (at least the labial
ones) very conspicuously elongated, being above thrice as long as the
bead, porrected forwards, divaricating a little, and having the termi-
nal joint depending : the anterior wings are rather broad, especially
behind, with their hinder margin distinctly rounded, and the disc of
a greenish hue (during life, fading subsequently) with one or two
black dots placed longitudinally ; and on the hinder margin both
sexes have a row of black dots, interrupted with white. The larva
feeds on the honey collected by Bombi in their cells.

Anterior wings griseous, or greenish, with a black line, interrupted by white,
on the external hinder margin ; of the male the base is hoary, and the disc
is adorned with two very irregularly waved and oblique griseous streaks,
the posterior half of the wing being of a reddish-griseous ; iu the female
these streaks are less visible, but more angulated, and the wings during life
are suffused with a greenish tinge, after death becoming griseous, and bear
one elongate black mark on the disc, or occasionally two placed longitudi-
nally : the posterior wings are ashy, with a darker margin.

• Being a Linnean genus of plants, and now sinking into a synonyme with
Ilythia of Latreille.

TIXEIU.ff. — SENTA. 297

The caterpillar feeds on honey in the nest of Bombus Lapidarius and its
allies.

Notwithstanding the great disparity of the two insects here united, I am dis-
posed to consider them the sexes, as they are both extremely local, and
occur in the same places at the same time ; and in my series I have a long
string of the pale-shouldered kind all males, while my series of the green-
winged, or spotted ones, are all females.

Not very abundant within the metropolitan district : taken, how-
ever, occasionally, at Darenth wood, and at Kipley, in June.

blackish streak at the base ; posterior wings ochrey-white.

Taken by the late Mr. Hatchett at the Jews' Burying-ground,
Stepney.

Genus CCCLX. — Senta mihi.

Palpi four ; maxillary short, concealed in the scales of the front ; labial longer,
curved upwards, and faintly visible from above; the second joint longer
than the other : maxillce moderate. Antenna similar in the sexes ; slightly
pubescent within : head small, with a tuft in front: eyes moderate : thorax
stoutish : wings elongate ; anterior somewhat linear, obtuse or acute at the
apex; the disc with indistinct markings, or merely spotted; posterior
ample : cilia short : body rather long and stoutish, obtuse in the males,
depressed, with elevated sides, and the apex acute in the females : legs
shortish.

This genus, which I have adopted from the notice given by
Mr. Curtis, I. c, appears to differ materially from jNIelia, in which he
includes the two species, by the form of the palpi and that of the
anterior wings, which are either pale and obtuse, furnished with
darker dots, or darker and acute, with longitudinal dusky streaks.

short narrow ochraceous stripe, five or six minute brown spots forming a
curved line near the posterior margin, upon which there are seven minute
black spots, alternating with the nervures, which are pale, changing to white

Genus CCCLXI. — Eudouea, Curtis.

Palpi four; maxillary distinct, biarticulate, short, clothed with a truncate
brush of scales ; labial much longer, slightly drooping, clothed with short
scales above and very long ones beneath, extending beyond the apex ; the
latter in the denuded state acute, consisting of a small conical joint:
maxillce rather long. Antennae short, subserrate, faintly pubescent within
in the males : head moderate, clothed in front with loose scales : eyes
large : thorax subquadrate : wings nearly decumbent, inclining but little
during repose, and forming a triangle ; anterior long and narrow, usually of
ashy tints, with two paler transverse streaks and some marks resembling
letters between them ; the hinder margin slightly rounded ; posterior ample
and folded, slightly waved on the hinder margin : lody rather long, acute at
the apex, which bears a very small tuft : legs rather long and slender.

In this pretty genus — Scoparia of Haworth, changed to Eudorea
by Curtis, from the former being a Linnean genus of plants — the
four palpi arc conspicuous, the maxillary being however small, and
the labial considerably elongated and thickly clothed with long
scales, not inaptly representing a small painter''s brush, whence
Haworth's name : the anterior wings are longish, of a somewhat
triangular form, decumbent during repose, the disc pale, with two
conspicuous darker streaks, forming the outline, as it were, of a fascia,
in which are generally some dark marks resembling Greek characters,
and on the hinder margin is generally an irregular fuscous fascia,

Eu. angustea. Curtis ?— Steph. Catal. ii. 2U. No. 7427.

Anterior wings long and narrow, brownish-ash, with darker clouds; towards
the base is an irregular whitish streak, edged with fuscous, and a repanded
one behind the middle, between which are three indistinct dusky marks, two
towards the base, forming a prostrate Roman I ; the second a blackish dot,
placed on the middle of its side; the other mark imperfectly resembles a
Greek x> placed on a dusky cloud ; the hinder margin is fuscescent, with
irregular whitish lines, and a row of minute black dots near the extreme
edge ; cilia pale fuscous, with a darker line at the base.

Less abundant than the last, but far from uncommon, within the
metropolitan district, in June ; it has also occurred near Tunbridge
Wells and Hastings.

Genus CCCLXIL— Phycita, Curtis.

Palpi four ; maxillary minute, triarticulate ; labial as long as the head and
recurved, clothed with short scales, and slender ; the terminal joints shorter
than the first, elongate-acute : maxiUw moderate, spiral. Antennas dissimilar
in the sexes, the basal joints in the males being thickened by having an oval
mass of scales attached, the stem itself being slender, as is the rest of the
antennse, and pilose within : head small, with smooth scales in front : eyes
globose : thorax short : ivings convoluted during repose ; anterior elongate-
trigonate, with the hinder margin rounded, the disc frequently with griseous
colours, and having two transverse paler streaks, one straightish before the

middle, the other rcpanded behind, the space between forming a sort of
fascia : posterior wings ample and very much folded : body rather long,
slender, with a tuft at the apex in the males, somewhat conic in the females :
legs moderate.

The recurved palpi and fjisciated anterior wings distinguish this
genus from Crambus, and the latter character from Oncoccra, in
which genus, as in the present, some of the males are remarkable for
having an ovate mass of scales at the base of the antennae : the in-
distinctness of the maxillary palpi, combined with the more lively
tints of their wings, distinguish these insects from Eudorea. The
original name of Phycis, being that of a group of fishes, was altered
by Mr. Curtis for the present appellation.

interrupted black line : posterior wings whitish, with the margin darkened.

Slightly variable in colour, and a little so in markings.

Common in the New Forest, near Lynclhurst, in June, but less
frequent in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, where it occurs at
Coombe and Darenth woods.

Genus CCCLXIII. — Homceosoma, Curtis.

Palpi four; labial porrected nearly horizontally, slender and tapering, the
terminal joint short and acute : maxilhe short. Antennae in both sexes shnple
and setaceous, faintly pubescent within in the males : head small, with erect
scales in front : eyes moderate : thorax stoutish : wingx convoluted during
repose ; anterior narrow, sublanceolate, somewhat obtuse at the hinder
margin, pale, with darker transverse streaks ; posterior ample, much folded :
cilia short : body rather long, with a small tuft at the apex in the malea,
acute in the females.

I have followed Mr. Curtis in promoting this species to a genus,
although in habit it closely resembles the true Thycitiv ; but, as the
palpi arc somewhat shorter and straighter, and the form and colour-
ing of the anterior wings slightly different ; it will not absolutely

associate "with them : nevertheless, I suspect if upon so slight a
difference this insect is detached, many other genera must be formed
amongst the smaller Lepidoptera.

posterior one within; the extreme hinder margin a little dusky; cilia

ochreous : posterior wings pale fuscous ; cilia ashy.
Slightly variable in tint, old examples having a reddish hue.

Apparently a local insect: I believe it has only occurred in Epping

Forest in June.

GiiMus CCCLXIV. — NoMOPHiLA, Hilhner.

Palpi four; maxillary minute; labial porrected forwards and ascending,
densely clothed with scales, which form a triangular acute mass, and totally
conceal the form of the palpi : maxillae long. Antennte rather long, slender,
pubescent within in the males, simple in the females: head small: eyes
large, globose : thorax subovate, stoutish, not crested : ivings slightly
deflexed, and convoluted during repose ; anterior elongate, narrow, the
hinder margin rounded; disc obscure, with darker clouds; posterior ample;
cilia all short : body long, slender and acute, with a small tuft at the apex,
the sides with small tufts : legs rather long and slender.

It is not without reluctance that I have removed this genus to its
present position, which appears to be more natural than with the
Pyralidae, but as I am unacquainted with its metamorphoses, it
may probably be found hereafter that I am not correct in my views :
in the length of its legs and in the transparency of its wings, the
posterior especially, it agrees with the insects above referred to, but
in its general habit it assimilates too closely to the present insects to
allow of its remote separation therefrom : its affinity to the two
families, however, doubtless results from its position in the system,
forming part of the bond of union between the Pyralidae and the
Tineidae, as elsewhere referred to, and shown in the table at page x.
of my Systematic Catalogue.

cilia white.

Extremely variable in tint, and in the bulk and intensity of the dark blotches
on the anterior wings, the latter being in some cases very large and distinct,
in others small and nearly obliterated.

In general somewhat rare, though greatly diffused; but in July

Palpi four ; maxillary minute ; labial elongate, slender, recurved, clothed with
shortish scales above and long ones below, the apical joint long and slender,
acute: viaxillce short. Antennoe rather long and slender in the males, with
an ovate mass of scales at the base, and pubescent to the apex, in the females
simple : head small : eyes rather large : thoi'ax siibovate, not crested : wings
convoluted during repose ; anterior elongate-triangular, subtruncate at the
apex ; the disc without fasciae, being of simple, but bright, colours, either
remotely spotted or longitudinally streaked ; posterior wings ample, much
folded ; cilia all short : body rather long and slender, with a small tuft at
the apex in the males, acute in the females : legs rather long.

Oncocera differs from Phycita, with which genus the species have been
associated, not only by the variation in the form of the palpi, but in
being of a totally different habit : in the insects of the present genus
— the males of which, like those of Phycita, have a mass of scales at
the base of the antennae ; — the anterior wings are totally destitute of
the two, or more, pale transverse fasciae which adorn those of the genus
just referred to ; their colours approximate to, and the texture of the
wings resembles, that of Crambus, with which genus they have been
also associated.

Myelois, Huhner ?

Anterior wings glossy, snow-white, with a black dot at the base, two others
placed transversely before the middle, one beyond on the disc, then two
more a little behind the middle near the costa, followed by a repanded
series of smaller ones, and on the extreme hinder margin is a second series
of very minute ones : posterior wings fuscous, with the base and inner
margin white ; cilia all of a bright silvery white-
Variable, but from the consequence of age, some examples have the apex
of the anterior wings dusky, and the posterior wings whitish, with the costa
and hinder margin dusky.

Rather rare : I have frequently taken it on thistles in August near
Kentish Town and Hampstead ; also at Hertford.

Ph. Ti. carnella. Linne. — On. carnella. Steph. Catal. ii. 217. No. 7454. —
EuRHODOPE, H'ubner.

Anterior wings bright blood- or rosy-red, with the inner margin more or less

broadly yellow or bufF-colour, nearly to the apex ; cilia brilliant rosy-red:

posterior wings fuscous.
Slightly variable in some specimens ; the red of the anterior wings is slightly

suffused with fuscous; sometimes only the costa; but all intermediate

shades occur.

Rare near London, but abundant in the vicinity of Dover : it
occurs at Darenth wood and Hertford in July.

Ti. sanguinella. Hvhner. — Ph. Ti. carnella. Donovan, v. v. jil. 153. f. 5. —
On. sanguinella. Steph. Catal. ii. 217. No. 7455.

Anterior wings bright rosy- or blood-red, with the costa white or pale, and the
inner margin with a broad, but indefinite yellow splash, not extending to the
hinder angle : posterior whigs fuscous, with the margin darker.

Also slightly variable, the anterior wings having frequently a brownish tint on
the red, and the costa being much less broadly white in some examples than
in others.

Probably a variety, but certainly not the other sex, of the preceding species,
as I have both sexes of each kind.

Rather local, but abundant where found, especially about Dover,
in the South Foreland and Castle INIeadowS;, in July and August.

TINEID.E. ARAXES. 315

Genus CCCLXVI. — Akaxes miki.

Palpi four; maxillary minute; labial considerably longer than the head, por-
rected horizontally, slender, clothed throughout with short scales and with
longer ones at the base beneath, the apex acute, the terminal joint being
elongate : maxilloE moderate. Antennce slender, simple in both sexes,
slightly pubescent within hi the males : head small, pilose : eyes large :
thorax moderate, not crested: wings slightly convoluted during repose;
anterior elongate, sublanceolate, rounded on the hinder margin, the disc
sombre, either with obscure transverse markings, or longitudinally streaked ;
posterior ample; cilia short: body rather long and slender, with a tuft at
the apex in the male, stouter and acute in the females : legs moderate.

In this genus the maxillary palpi are less apparent than in
Crambus, the labial ones are very long and somewhat parallel,
stoutest at the base, rather slender and attenuated at the apex, and
the terminal joint is scarcely deflexed ; the anterior wings arc
rounded on the hinder margin, and their disc is either faintly marked
with obscure transverse streaks, or is longitudinally divided as it were
in tint, the costa being paler than the disc : in one instance the
hinder margin bears a row of united ocellated spots.

Anterior wings of a fine rosy red, shading off to ochraceous to the inner
margin ; costa broadly pale, sometimes whitish ; cilia ochrcous : posterior
wings ashy-grey, with a reddish tinge ; cilia white. Slightly variable in
tint.

This appears to be a maritime insect ; it occurred in great plenty
in 1828 on the coasts of Cumberland and Lancashire in June ; and I
believe it has subsequently been taken on those of Dorsetshire.

Pa. ocellea. Hau-orth. — On. ocellea. Steph. Catal. ii. 917. Xo. 74o8.

Anterior wina? brownish, with two very indistinct, slightlT waved, yellowish
streaks m the middle, and two or three very short ones at the apex of the
costa, vanishing on the disc; from the middle of the hinder margin to
the hinder angle is another streak, composed of about sis united ocelli,
having deep black pup Us, with a snowy- white iris anteriorly, and golden
posteriorly; cilia cinereous: posterior wings fuscous, with darker margins,
and white (not bUuk, as Haworth accidentally writes) cUia.

The only example of this remarkable and very distinct insect which
I have seen is the one described by Haworth, and now hi my col-
lection ; it was taken in the vicinity of the metropolis several years
since by Mr. Knight.

Anterior wings dull fiiscous, with two very indistinct purplish-brown
transverse streaks, one very straight, a little before the middle, the other
between the first and the hinder margin, and a little flexuous towards the
costa : posterior wings rather paler ; cUia whitish.

Extremely variable in size, and sL'ghtly so in tint and markings, the transverse
fascisE being more distinct in some examples than others.

Not very uncommon at Darenth wood in June, apparently fre-
quenting chalky districts : it has occurred at Hertford, and in other
parts, but less fi^uently than at Darenth.

Gexts CCCLX^"II. — Pbionaptekyx* mihi.

Palfifo-ar; maxUlary very distinct, resembling a pointed brush; lab'al rather
lone, stout, porrected in front in form of a beak, densely clothed to the apex
with long scales, which conceal their form, and project beyond the terminal
joint, which is obtuse : maxiUs shortish. AntenntE short, stout, in the males
slightly pectinated within : head moderate, with a tuft of erect scales in
front : eyet large, globose : thoraz stoutish : icings convoluted ? during
repose; anterior elongate-triangular; the costa with three or four deep
serratures towards the apex, the hinder margin deeply emarginate, so as to

appear subfalcate ; posterior wings ample, with the hinder margin sinuated :
cilia all very short : bodtf rather long, slender, with a small tuft at the apex
in the males: leg^s moderate.

This genus and Acria are the only two genera in the respective
families of the old Tineidae, which have the costa of the anterior
wings in any way excised ; in Acria there is an ovate notch,
and in the present genus, towards the apex, are three or four deep
oblique serratures, by which character alone it may be known from all
the indigenous (and I believe other European) genera ; in addition
to which the slightly pectinated antennas, densely squamous palpi,
emarginate hinder margin of the anterior wings, their short cilia, Sic.
may be alluded to.

Pr. nebulifera. Steph. Nomen. 2d edit.

Anterior wings clear white, with the costa, except a triangular patch at the
apex, ashy-brown ; at the base within is a somewhat orate blackish-brown
spot, and in the middle of the inner margin is a larger and darker patch, of
an irregular form, and divided by a transverse zigzag white streak ; on the
costa near the apex is an abbreviated and acutely-angulated white line,
vanishing on a bright white patch in the middle of the hinder margin, but
again very faintly visible on the inner margin near the hinder -angle, which
is slightly tinted with fuscous ; adjouiing the white patch on the hinder
margin is a minute deep black dot, and the margin itself is narrowly edged
with fuscous: posterior wings whitish.

Of this singularly remarkable insect I have seen only my own spe-
cimen, which I obtained from the collection of Mr. Haworth, who
appears to have procured it from that of ^Ir. Francillon : I know not
its locality.

Gentts CCCLXMII— CRA>rBrs. Fabrichis.

Palpi four; maxillary distinct, clothed with scales, and forming a pencil;
labial very long and slender, porrected like a beak, the apex slightly
depending, clothed with short scales, the terminal joint visible, more slender
than the preceding, and attenuated: maiiUae long- J»(ft-nn<r similar in the
sexes, setaceous, faintly pubescent beneath in the males: head small, with
a slight crest of scales in front: eyes small: thorax ovate, not crested:

short, anterior frequently metallic : body rather short, slender, obtuse, with
a slight tuft at the apex in the males : legs rather long.

The insects of this genus differ from the foregoing by the greater
length of the labial palpi, which are porreeted forward in the form of
a beak, are very slender, and have the terminal joint a little bent
downwards ; the maxillary palpi are more conspicuous, and resemble
a small pointed brush or pencil ; the anterior wings are narrow, with
the hinder margin either obliquely truncate or faintly emarginate ;
the disc is very frequently adorned with radiating metallic, pearly or
pale markings, on a yellowish ground, or with large patches of a
silvery lustre, and occasionally the anterior wing is entirely of that
hue : during repose, these insects fold their wings remarkably close
round their bodies — thence called ^^close-wings''' of old — and some of
them abound in grassy places, settling upon the stalks of the grasses,
with their heads downwards, in such profusion that at every step
scores are disturbed.

Anterior wings of a glossy shining white, with lurid longitudinal streaks, the
extreme hinder margin with a very minute row of blackish dots : posterior
wings of a pale lurid hue ; cilia shining ashy-white.

Extremely variable in tint, some examples being almost entirely of a lurid
hue; others nearly all silvery, with faint livid streaks.

This species appears to abound in the New Forest, and also occurs
at Dover, near London, and in Devonshire : I have taken it in the
garden at the Hermitage.

I have seen one specimen only of this remarkable insect, which was
taken upwards of twenty years since by ^Ir. King at Coombe wood.
It is now in ^Ir. Bentley's collection. Haworth mentions that a
specimen was in Dr. Leach's cabinet, now in the British Museum ;
but I beheve that specimen was destroyed by Dr. Leach previously

transverse brown streaks towards the hinder margin, edged interiorly with
whitish ; on the hinder margin, near the anal angle, are three or four minute
black dots ; cilia pale shining gold at the apex, with a brown line at the
base.

Apparently very local : taken in great abundance in July 1826 in
the Isle of Wight, the only locality I am aware of for this species,
which greatly resembles the female of the preceding

Anterior wings olive-brown, of variable tint, with a slender silvery- white
longitudinal streak reaching nearly to the hinder margin, acute at the apex,
dilated beyond the middle, and throwing off a few serratu res from thence to
the hinder margin ; cilia fuscous, with the tip white : posterior wings ashy-
brown, with pale cilia: female of a paler hue, anterior wings with the
longitudinal streak broader ; the cilia entirely white : posterior wings ashy,
radiated with whitish; cilia satiny-white.

Found, I believe, only in the north of England, on the mountains
of Cumberland, &c. in July, where it appears to occur in profusion :
I am indebted to Mr. Marshall for a fine series of varieties.

Genus CCCLXIX. — Chilo, Ziiick-Somer.

Palpi four ; maxillary small; labial very long, about one-fourth the length of
the body, porrected forwards in form of a beak, compressed, uniformly
clothed with long scales, and gradually carinated to the apex, the terminal
joint short and slightly deflexed : maxiUce rudimentary. Aiitennoe short and
slender, simple in the females, faintly pubescent, or somewhat pectinated in
the males : head small, with a projection of scales in front : eyes large, sub-
globose : thorax not crested : luivgs deflexed, and slightly convoluted during
repose ; anterior broadish, with the apex very obliquely truncate, sometimes
faintly excised, so as to become subfalcate ; the disc generally tinted with
straw-colour or ochreous, and rarely with any other marks than a brownish
longitudinal streak, and a central spot or marginal row of dots: posterior
wings ample, faintly waved towards the apex: c//m short: body elongate,
slender in the males, with minute lateral tufts, and a short one at the apex;
rather short in the females, sometimes with a woolly apex ; at others acute,
and with the terminal segment very long : legs, especially the posterior,
long.

The insects of this genus — which corresponds with Topeutis of
Hubner — are amongst the largest of the Tineidae, and may be
instantly recognised by the great length of their compressed palpi,
which are porrected forward horizontally, and are at least one-fourth
the length of the body ; the maxilhe are merely rudimentary ; and
the anterior wings are long, with the hinder margin more or less acute
or subfalcate ; the disc is very pale (generally of an ochreous or

TINEID.S. — CHILD. 331

straw-coloured tint) ; sometimes with a longitudinal fuscous streak :
the posterior wings are ample, and the cilia very short : the species
appear to frequent boggy and marshy places.

Ti. forficella. Wenner.—Ch. forficellus. Steph. Catal. ii. 221. No. 7478.

Anterior wings in the male pale ochreouSj slightly clouded with fuscous, with
an undefined longitudinal fuscous streak from the base to near the apex, a
distinct abbreviated line of the same hue extending obliquely from the apex
towards the inner margin ; a little beyond the middle of the disc is a fuscous
dot, and on the extreme hinder margin a minute row of the same : posterior
wings pale : antennae slightly pectinated : female with the anterior wings
paler and rather more slender, and acute, with a more distinct longitudinal
streak : the posterior wings white : abdomen woolly at its apex : antennae
simple.

Extremely variable, some examples having the markings very distinct, others
very obscure; and there are occasionally a few minute fuscous dots on the
anterior wings towards the inner margin.

Not very abundant, occurring, however, rather frequently in the
marshes and damp places along the banks of the Thames, in June ;
also taken about Epping Forest and at Whittlesea Mere. " Long

dark oblique abbreviated fascia, and on the extreme hinder margin some
faint dusky dots ; cilia ochreous : posterior wings whitish, with a distinct
oblique smoky line at the apex, composed of small confluent spots, and
extending towards the hinder margin ; cilia ashy.

Variable, some examples being much darker than others, and nearly destitute
of markings.

It is not improbable that this species may be only a very extraordinary variety
of the foregoing, but its extreme rarity prevents me from ascertaining the
fact correctly.

Rare : I have specimens which were taken near London, in June;
it has also occurred near Whittlesea Mere and in Norfolk.

Anterior wings subcaudate, of a griseo-testaceous hue^ with the costa pale,
and a longitudinal fuscous streak extending from the base to the apex,
where it coalesces with a deeper oblique fuscous line; in the middle of the
disc is a faint fuscous dot, and a row of minute griseous dots on the hinder
margin : posterior wing whitish. Female with the anterior wings narrower
and paler, and destitute of the longitudinal fuscous streak, having only faint
rudiments thereof.

Rare : taken occasionally in the marshes within the metropolitan
district, most commonly in the vicinity of Dartford and Erith, in
June.

Genus CCCLXX. — Theristis, Hiibner.

Palpi four; maxillary short; labial moderate, incurved, clothed with extremely
long scales,projecting considerably beyond the terminaljoint,\vhich is pointed,
and is placed on the upper margin of the apparent middle : maxillw as long
as the palpi. Antenna; rather long, setaceous, slender, simple in both sexes ;
head narrow, produced in front into a conical form ; eyes moderate : thorax
subquadrate : ivings slightly convoluted during repose ; anterior very long,
slender, acuminated or falcate at the apex, generally pale, with some darker
longitudinal marks, and sometimes a dusky point towards the middle ;
cilia very short : posterior rather ample, faintly sinuated on the hinder
margin, cilia elongate: body slender, long, obtuse at the apex in the female,
with a small tuft in the males : legs long and slender, Avith two pair of long
spurs on the posterior ones.

These insects may be known from the preceding genus, not only
by the form of their wings, the anterior especially, but by having
distinct rather long maxilla? ; their colours are generally of a pale
hue, with longitudinal darker markings, and a central dusky point :
during repose, they sit with their wings convoluted slightly, and a
little deflexed, with the antenna:} porrected forwards like the Porrec-
tarite : they frequent grassy places.

Extremely variable ; some specimens being very faintly marked with black,
and others having numerous longitudinal black streaks throughout the disc
of the anterior wings : the dark varieties are, however, rare, and interme-
diate shades occur.

The caterpillar feeds on the Enonymus europeus : the imago appears in August
and September.
Very rare ; but taken sometimes rather plentifully in the lane

at the bottom of Darenth wood, leading from Dartford.

Anterior wings falcate, pale straw-colour, with a distinct longitudinal pale
fuscous stria from the base to the middle, having a darker or black dot in
the middle between it and the inner margin; towards the costa are some
fainter fuscescent streaks, and on the disc behind the middle some dusky
atoms : posterior wings whitish, with the tips fuscous ; cilia ochreous :
head and thorax white, the sides of the latter with a black line-
Also a scarce species : found in grassy places, on the borders of

woods, &c. at Darenth and Birch, in August.

Genus CCCLXXI. — Harpipteeyx, Hiibner.

Palpi four ; maxillary minute ; labial rather long, slightly divergent, curved
upwards, the base furnished with very long scales, porrected forwards con-
siderably beyond the palpi, leaving the terminal joint, which is very slender
and acute, exposed as a seta in the middle : maxiUoc short. Antennce mode-
rately long, slender, rather thickened at the base in the males; simple in the
females : head clothed with long upright scales, forming a crest : eyes
small : tho7'ax not crested : wings deflexed during repose ; anterior narrow,
lanceolate, the apex falcate and slightly emarginate ; disc dusky or streaked
with paler colours, with the inner edge generally pale, sometimes with some
elevated scales; cilia short: posterior moderate, sublanceolate, with shortish
cilia: abdomen rather short, slender, with a tuft at the apex in the males,
acute in the females ; legs rather slender and longish.
This genus differs from the foregoing, not only by the smaller size
of the species, but in their anterior wings being of dissimilar outline
and colour : in these insects they are, in comparison with their length,
broader, the hinder margin is emarginate, and more or less falcate,
the disc generally dark, with a paler streak on the inner margin, the
cilia on the posterior wings are shorter than in those of the former
genus : the insects appear rather earlier in the summer, and do not
seem to affect damp and marshy places.

Anterior wings of a pale purplish brown, unclouded, with a common slightly
waved white streak on the inner margin, having a slender twig extending
from near its apex towards that of the costa : posterior wings and cilia
fuscous: head and thorax snow-white, with the sides ferruginous.

Caterpillars fusiform, smooth, green, with a purple dorsal line : it feeds on the
Lonicera caprifolia: chrysalis yellow, inclosed in a fusiform cocoon, open at
each end: the imago appears in June, and reposes with the apex of its
wings incurved.

Common in gardens, within the metropolitan district, about August:
found also in other parts of the country, as in the New Forest, De-
vonshire, &c. " Loch Katrine." — Rev. W. Little.

Anterior wings of a deep ashy-brown, with darker atoms, the inner margin
dull whitish-ash, with two or three somewhat elevated patches of black
scales: posterior wings and cilia ashy-grey, with a metallic gloss.

Not found, 1 believe, within the raetropoUtan district, but appa-
rently not uncommon in the New Forest, whence I have received
numerous examples, captured there in June and July.

Ph. Ti. scabrella. Ltnne.— Ph. scabrella. Steph. Catal. ii. 222. No. 7507.

Anterior wings pale ash-colour and duskj^, divided longitudinally, the costal
half being pale and striated obsoletely with fuscous, the inner half black,
with elevated deeper black scales, and obsolete pale stria, one of the latter
forming an irregular waved line : posterior wings pale brownish-grey.

Also common in the New Forest in June and July, but apparently
not indigenous to the metropolitan district.

Genus CCCLXXII.— Hyi'Solopha, Hiilmer.

Palpi four ; maxillary minute ; labial rather long, parallel, straight, the base
clothed with very long scales, directed downwards in form of a beak, but
not concealing the palpi, the ternnnal joint of which is rather thick and acute :
maxilla; moderate. Antenna: very slender, simple in both sexes: head

simple, clothed in front with a short crest of scales : ei/es small : thoraj: not
crested: u inj^-** deflesed during repose ; anterior elongate^ narrow, sometimes
with elevated scales ; the disc more or less flavescent ; the hinder margin
more or less emarffinate, and the apex acute or falcate : cilia rather long at
the hinder anele : posterior wings ample, sublanceolate, with longish cilia :
body rather long, slender, with a tuft at the apex in the male ; obtuse in the
females : legs smooth.

From the preceding and the following genera this differs in having
the palpi straight and directed forwards, and the branch of scales
with which thev are adorned is depending ; the wings are of pale
yellowish tints, sometimes with elevated tufts of scales, and having
the hinder margin deeply excised, or truncate with the anterior apex
mucronate ; the cilia are rather short, and the posterior wings rather
lonsrer than in the foregoing genera : the species appear to be autumnal,
beginning to appear towards the middle of August.

Ph. asperella. Steph. Catal. ii. 229. No. 7509.

Anterior wings yellowish- white, roughened, with obscure darker atoms, with
a larse triansidar ochreous blotch in the middle of the inner margin, its base
terminating at each end with an elevated black spot : the apex of the wing
is deeply and somewhat circularly notched on the hinder margin, and
opposite to the excision, which is dusky or black on its edge, there are four
minute black dots placed in a row, parallel with the margin : posterior
wings shining brownish-ashy, with the tip paler.

Caterpillar feeds on apple and other fruit trees : the imago is found in August.

Ti. Persicella. Wien. Verz. — Yp. Persicellus. Steph. Catal. ii. 222. Xo. 7511.

Anterior wings pale sulphur, with two obscure abbreviated oblique streaks on
the inner margin; the apex emarginated : posterior wings cinereous; cilia
white : head and thorax yellow.

Caterpillar feeds on fruit trees : the imago appears in July.

Rare : found occasionally in the New Forest in June.

Genus CCCLXXIII. — Ch.etochills mihi.

Palpi four; maxillary minute ; labial rather long, parallel, curved upwards,
clothed at the base with very long porrected scales, which are directed
forwards in form of a beak, having the terminal joint exposed as a seta in
the middle of the upper edge ; it is very long and slender : maxilloE moderate.
AntennoE during repose recurved, rather long and slender, simple in both
sexes : head with a tufl of elevated scales in front : eyes largish, subglobose :
thorax not crested : uings incumbent during repose ; anterior very long,
narrow, lanceolate, generally of shining colours, tinted with red, brown, or
ochreous, and varied or streaked with darker lines ; posterior sublanceolate ;
cilia rather long : body moderate, rather slender, with a tuft at the apex in
the m£des, slightly carinated down the back in the females : legs rather
short.

The palpi of this genus differ from those of the one preceding by
being curved upwards, or in having the terminal joint more slender;
but the principal distinction consists in the form of the anterior wings,
which in the present genus are long, narrow, lanceolate, being
rounded on the hinder margin, with longish cilia at the anal angle ;
the disc is glossy, and is extremely variable in colour, though one
general and peculiar texture is found throughout , the colours arc
mostly red, brown, ochreous, or white, sometimes shghtly varied, with
a faintly raised spot towards the apex, the disc being frequently
streaked longitudinally, and sometimes transversely ; the posterior
wings are rather small, and scarcely emarginate, on their hinder
margin, and the cilia are longish : the insects occur chiefly in the
autumn.

Also common in certain situations within the metropolitan district,
in the autumn, especially at Birch and Darenth woods; likewise
found at Ripley, Coombo wood, and Hertford, and in the New

A rare species: I have twice taken it in the lane leading to
Darcnth wood from the main road, opposite Sutton ; and in July
1827 I found it at Uiploy. It has been frequently taken in the
former locality, and also near Westcrham, &c. : it is, however, a rare
species.

Genus CCCLXXIV. — Cerostoma, Latreille.

I'ulj d ihyxr ; maxillary minute; labial rather long, slightly curved upwards,
clothed at the base witli a long projecting bunch of scales, extending con-
siderably beyond the palpi, the terminal joint of which is very long, slender,
sparingly clothed with minute scales, and exposed above, resembling a seta:
maxilla; shortish. Anfenntc slender, thickened at the base, simple in both
sexes, porrected forwards during the repose of the insect : head small, with
a short tuft in front: e'j/cj moderate: thorax not crested : wings elongate,
deflexed during repose ; anterior narrow, with the hinder margin rounded,
the disc generally dark, with a pale streak on the iinier margin; cilia
shortish: posterior brown, with long cilia: bodi/ rather long and slender,
with a small tuft at the apex in the males, obtuse in the females : legs
moderate.

From the preceding genus the present one differs in having the
anterior wings narrower, more elongate in proportion, and rounded
behind, with the disc dark, bordered on the inner edge with a more
or less waved pale streak ; the cilia are shortish on the anterior wings
and very long on the posterior : the palpi rarely differ from those of
the foregoing insects ; but the antennae are somewhat more slender,
and arc directed forwards during the repose of the insect.

to the extreme edge runs a common sinuated white streak, parallel thereto ;
the hinder margin is obliquely fuscous, and a few black dots run from it to
the hinder portion of the inner margin ; cilia also fuscescent : posterior wings
pale brownish ash and glossy.

Not very uncommon in gardens and woody places within tlie

Genus CCCLXXV. — Tinea Auctorum.

I'a/pi lour ; maxillary concealed; labial straight, porrected horizontally, or
dellexed, ratlier short and slender, clothed with scales, longest at the base,
the terminal joint slender and acute: maxUUv very sliort. Aiitcnmv ihoxl
and slender, simple in the females, slightly pubescent witliin in the males:
head small, with a tuft of elongate scales, forming a crest : eyes moderate,
globose: thorax not crested: wings incumbent tluring repose; anterior
elongate-linear, with an oily splendour, and of dingy hues; cilia short ;
posterior small, sublanccolatc, with shortish cilia : body short and slender,
obtuse in the males, very acute and prolonged at the apex in the females ;
posterior legs long, with incrassated tibias Larvce reside in a case, formed
of their food, which consists of woollen and similar substances.

The insects of this genus, which arc commonly known by the
name of " Clothes' Moths,'''' have the wings of a very glossy texture,
and seemingly greasy or oily ; they are usually of plain colours,
with whitish cilia ; the head is very highly crested in front, the palpi
arc four in number, the labial ones being short, straight, and ratlier
depending; the larv;e arc extremely destructive to woollen cloths
and similar materials, as they not only feed upon the animal matter
contained therein, but they construct their cocoon of its substance,
gradually enlarging it as they increase in size ; so that if a young
larva be placed upon black cloth, and then successively removed to
that of different colours, the cocoon becomes variegated with similar
colours.

exclusively of the very roughened head, the pencilled palpi, broadish
thorax, scabrous wings, &c., and the margined abdomen, of which
one of the segments is generally pale above ; the short hard femora
may be also referred to : the species appear to frequent marshy

Genus CCCLXXVIII. — Ixcuuvaria, Haivorth.

Palpi four; maxillary minute; labial slender, slightly divergent, rather
incurved, the base concealed in the scales of the front, the apex slightly
squamous and subulated : maxilla; short. Autennce moderate, in the males
rather pectinated, or incrassated and pubescent; simple in the females:
head large, with a dense tuft of erect scales in front: eyes globose: thorax
not crested : wings deflexcd during repose ; anterior elongate-triangular,
glossy, of brownish hues with pale spots, especially on the inner margin :
posterior wings subtriangular, small; cilia all short: toc(y short, slender,
obtuse in the males, acute and rather stouter in the females : legs moderate.

The insects of this genus were separated by Haworth, from having
the hibial palpi incurved, a character which is, however, scarcely
the fiict with all the species, as in the last they arc recurved ; the
antenna; in the males of the first two are coarsely pectinated, and in
the last two incrassated and pectinated within : — from these remarks
it may be observed that the genus might be advantageously divided;
but I have preferred adhering to the division of Lcpic^optcra Britan-
nica: in colouring the insects are generally of a metallic-brown, witli
yellow spots, sometimes on the inner margin alone, at others on the
costa also.

Genus CCCLXXIX. — Amaurosetia* mVii.

Palpi four ; maxillary very minute and slender ; labial rather Jong, slender,
diverging, straight and depending, clothed with short scales, the terminal
joint most slender, subacute ; maxillce very short. Aniennw shortish,
slender, during repose incurved beneath the wings ; simple in both sexes :
head small ; front convex, and furnished with decumbent glossy scales :
eyes small : thorax not crested : ivings incumbent during repose ; anterior
elongate-sublinear, rounded at the hinder margin, colours very simple and
plain, usually with some faint pale (yellowish) markings; cilia short:
posterior wings subtriangular, also with short cilia: body moderate, rather
slender, with a small tuft at the apex in the males ; obtuse in the females :
legs moderate.

I divided the species contained in this genus from their allies from,
the general poverty of their colouring, combined with their slender,
short, depending palpi, their smooth head, incumbent anterior wings,
of which the cilia are short, small posterior ones, also with short cilia,
not extending along the costal edge : the species are found in woods

« It will be observed that many species are hiserted in this volume that are
not in my Catalogue ; these have some of them been discovered since that was
■written (in part upwards of lifteen years), or were previously in my col-
lection unnamed and unrecorded, as, although I endeavoured to render the
Catalogue as complete as I was able, I purposely avoided the introduction
of numerous species that I had been unable satisfactorily to examine, a
proceedhig that I feel still compelled to adopt, having many unnoticed species
as yet unexamined, and it is evidently better to omit them for the present, as
they may be eventually detected amongst Hiibnnr's figures, or in Treitschke's
work, in which he only describes 349 European species of Linnean Tinea!
although upwards of 450 have been known in England these twenty years.

Anterior wings deep brown or blackish, with an obscure metallic tinge, with
four rather large subquadrate white spots on the margins, two of them on
the costa and two on the inner margin, placed obliquely with respect to each
other, the first pair before the middle, the second pair behind ; on the costa
towards the base is frequently a minute white dot: posterior wings pale
fuscous : head with a red front.

The marginal white spots are sometimes more or less obliterated, and occa-
sionally very large, the inner basal one being produced along the margiu
towards the origin of the wing.

Also rare within the metropolitan district, where it has been taken
near Westerham and Darenth wood, but apparently not uncommon
in the New Forest, in June.

Anterior wings fuscous, with a slightly metallic hue, with a row of golden
dots of dissimilar size on the costa and hinder margin, extending a little way
up the inner edge; towards the base of the latter is a large common yellow
spot, divided by a fuscous line ; cilia dusky, varied with gold : posterior
wings and cilia dusky : head pale fuscous.

Rather variable, the spots on the anterior wings being sometimes much more
obscure and indistinct than at others.

Of this very distinct species I have seen but a pair, which are in
my own collection : they were taken at Ripley in June 1827.

and entire on the costa, furcate towards the inner margin ; and on the
hinder margin a fourth, straight, and distinct from the third ; cilia golden :
posterior fuscous, without a purplish tinge.

This insect, of which I possess the original specimen, is too distinct from the

The distinct curved slender maxillary palpi of this pretty genus,
exclusively of other peculiarities, at once distinguishes it from the
following, in which they are straight and diverging ; the labial palpi
are very short ; the anterior wings are of a resplendent metallic hue,
very smooth, with yellow spots, and linear, with the cilia on the hinder
angle short ; the posterior wings aie lanceolate and not linear, and
the cilia adorn both margins.

Anterior wings glossy metallic gold, with a short brilliant pale golden-yellow
streak at the base of the inner margin, and three spots of similar hue, on
the margins, one of which is placed obliquely on the costa before the
middle, a second behind the middle and slightly curved, and the third is
situated in the middle of the inner margin, forming with the others a
triangle.

Tlie only example I have seen of this splendid and very distinct
little insect I found in June 1827 at Ripley.

Genus CCCLXXXII. — Gracillauia, Haworth.

Palpi four ; maxillary distinct, slender, straight, diverging ; labial rather longer
than the head, slender, recurved, acute, the terminal joint subulate :
maxilliE rather long. Antennas very long, capillary, simple: head small,
clothed with shining depressed scales : eyes globose : thorax slender : wings
deflexed during repose, with the apex ascending; anterior very lotig, sub-
linear, rounded or rather acute at the apex : cilia on the posterior angle
long, and sometimes produced to the inner base itself; posterior linear,
with very long cilia, occasionally extending along the anterior margin : body
very long and slender ; obtuse in the males : legs also very long ; interme-
diate tibiw clothed within with very long scales.

In this genus the maxillary palpi are rather long, straight, and
diverging ; the labial ones longer than the head, slender ; the head
clothed with depressed scales ; the anterior wings deflexed, with the
apex ascending, during repose ; and in general very narrow and
rather acute at the apex, where they are furnished, especially on the
hinder angle, with long cilia ; the posterior wings are linear, and also
adorned with extremely long cilia, which in a few species extend

the apex with a rounded subocellated rufous dot, having a black iris :
posterior wings and cilia fuscous.

The fasciae on the anterior wings vary a little, being more or less confluent or
narrower in different specimens.

Caterpillar feeds on the leaves of the common lilac (S[i/riiiga), and is very
destructive at times ; in its early stages it resides within the surfaces of the
leaf, and finally rolls it up, in which it changes to a fuscous pupa.

Very abundant in gardens about London, especially in South
Lambeth, in the summer; also found in the neighbourhood of
Coombe wood. " Gibside." — G. Wallas, Esq.

Family IV.— ALUCITID.E, Leach.

Antenna: rather short, slender, setaceous, in the males slightly pubescent
beneath. Palpi two, triarticulate, the terminal joint sometimes short and
truncate, or long and acute : maxjV/o? rather long : AmJ small, subglobose,
sometimes with a conical protuberance in front: eyes occasionally minute,
but generally very large : thorax not crested : wings for the most part placed
horizontally during repose, more or less cleft mto lobes, which, with the
exception of the costal one, are ciliated, on both margins ; the lobes vary iu
number, being either two, three, five, or six, on the anterior wings, and
three or six on the posterior ; but very rarely the wings are entirely undi-
vided, and during repose are erected: Z>o(/f/ very long and .slender, linear
in the males, subfusiform in the females, and very acute : legs very long
and slender : posterior tibiee with two pair of spurs, placed one about the
middle, the other at the apex, generally rather long, but occasionally very
minute. Larva inactive, broad, slightly pilose, and furnished with sixteen
legs : pupa naked, and suspended vertically by a thread, or pilose and inclosed
in a cocoon.

The insects of this family, the last of the Lepidoptera, are distin-
guished, with the exception of one genus, by having the wings more
or less divided into plumelets or feathers, the anterior being cleft
into from two to six, and the posterior from three to six — there are
other peculiarities, which again are wanting in one genus (Alucita) ;
the length of the body and legs, in proportion to the wings : the
latter are sometimes erected during repose, at others displayed
horizontally : in one genus, Agdistes, they are undivided, but their
length, and from their being folded, at once distinguish them from
tlie Tineidas ; and in this genus the posterior legs have very small
spurs, and the palpi are stouter and truncate at the apex ; the latter
are two in number in all the genera. The larva is fleshy, rather
plump, clothed sparingly with somewhat long hairs, and is very
sluggish: the pupa is sometimes suspended perpendicularly, as in
the PapilionidcE, with a thread round it, and in others placed in a
cocoon.

Genus CCCLXXXIII. — Acdistes, Hiihner.

Palpi curved, densely clothed with scales and truncated, the terminal joint
just visible, and truncate obliquely. Antennae short and slender, very
pubescent beneath in the males : head simple, with a conical protuberance
on the forehead, thickly clothed with short scales : eyes small : wings not
divided, placed together during repose, and erected, lanceolate ; posterior
smallest: hody very long, linear in the males, subfusiform in the females;
with the apex conical: legs slender, long; posterior tibise with two pair of
minute apical spurs.

The undivided wings, short truncate palpi, and minute spurs to
the hinder tibiae are the principal points of distinction of this genus
from Fterophcrus.

Genus CCCLXXXIV. — Pteuophorus, Geojfroy.

Palpi porrected beyond the head, slender, curved a little upwards, sparingly
clothed with scales, the terminal joint long and acute. Antenna rather
long and slender, slightly pubescent beneath in the males: head small,
globose : eyes large, globose : wings extended horizontally during repose,
and slightly plaited, anterior generally consisting of two, and the posterior
of three, lobes, the inner posterior one frequently with a triangular appen-
dage within ; c//mlong: body long, slender, linear in the males, subfusi-
form in the females, and acute at the apex : legs long and stoutish ; posterior
iibiije with two pair of long spurs. Larva fleshy, sparingly clothed with
shortish hairs, with sixteen legs; pupa also hairy, and suspended by a
thread.

From the foregoing genus this may be known by having the palpi
curved and acute, the wings divided, the anterior into two or three
feathers, and the posterior into three ; the legs, especially the

posterior, are very long, and tins pair is armed with two pair of very-
long spurs : the wings during repose are expanded horizontally, and
in some cases folded longitudinally ; the abdomen is very long,

Genus CCCLXXXV. — Alucita, Scopoli.

Palpi long, slender, recurved, the basal joints clothed with long porrected
scales, extended forwards horizontally, and resembling a beak, the terminal
joint long, subulate, acute, directed upwards : viaxillce short. Antennce
short, simple in both sexes, a little pubescent within in the males : head
with a tuft of depressed scales in front: eyes small: thorax not crested:
wings very short, composed of six lobes, resembling feathers, ciliated on
both sides, excepting the costal one : posterior wings similar, but smaller ;
the apex of all the lobes rounded, and furnished with a dark spot : body
short, scarcely reaching beyond the wings, when expanded ; obtuse in the
males ; acute and stouter in the females : legs rather short.

The beautiful structure of the wings of this elegant genus of moths
— all of them being composed of six nearly equal and similar lobes,
consisting of a shaft, and fringed on all sides (excepting the costal
one) with fine ciha, so as to form a sort of plume of feathers, the
apex of which is rounded, and marked with a dark dot, rounded by a
pale space — at once serves to distinguish them from the other genera
of the family, exclusively of their elongate recurved palpi, short
body, &;c.

APPENDIX

During the seven years this work has been in progress several new species of
Lepidoptera have been discovered, errors detected (while others still lurk in
concealment), and various changes, &c. have taken place in regard to our
knowledge of the indigenous species ; I shall therefore endeavour, very briefly,
to remedy a few of these defects, and to record the recent discoveries, so far
as I have the opportunity, premising that my limits will not admit of too
extensive a review of my former labours, and the description of many of the
species not in the body of the work will be found in the three Appendices
already given in the preceding volumes : I shall also attempt to frame the
Synoptic Tables of the Lepidoptera Vespertina, and complete my labours upon
this order by an abstract of the indigenous species contained in Hiibner's
valuable and most neglected Verzeichniss Bckantcr Schmcttcrlingc, &c.,
published in 1816.

380 APPENDIX.

VOL. I.

Page a. In the general description of the larvae of Lepidoptera, it should
have been stated that the head is furnished with two more or less convex
scaly processes, one on each side, resembling eyes, and with three minute
shining eyes on each side.

Page 5. PapilionidjE. I may here take occasion to observe that many
excellent essays on various species and varieties of the British Diurna are
to be found in Loudon's Magazine of Nat. Hist., by the Rev. W. T. Bree
and others, and that all the truly indigenous species, with the exception of
Melitaea Dia, are figured in Wood's Index Entomologicus,* but my limits
will not allow me to refer to each figure, though, as there are some few
accidental transpositions of names in this last work, I shall correct those
references.

Page 10. CoLiAS Europome. Swainson, in his Zoological Illustrations, con-
ceives that I was ^nisiriformed upon the point of the indigenous origin of this
species— not the Europome of Esper, but of Haworth — I may therefore refer
his readers to my remarks in page xviii of the introduction to my Systematic
Catalogue ; and I here take the ojjportunity of adding an extract from the
10th No. of the Entomological Magazine, p. 530 : — " Colias Europome has
been noticed in the meadows near the confluence of the Avon and Severn,
flying with great swiftness in August, but is a rare insect." — From a List of
Lepidoptera, prepared by Mr. E. Lees, of Worcester.

Page 13. C. Hyale. Curtis, v. vi. pi. 242, $ and 9. — Has been taken rather
abundantly within these few years on the coasts of Sussex, Kent, and

Page 43. Vanessa Urticffi. In addition to the extraordinary monstrosity of
this insect, recorded in p. 148, may be noticed two remarkable varieties —
one in the collection of Mr. Iladdon, the other in that of Mr. Chiuton, both
resembling each other, and very nearly agreeing with Ernsts, pi. Iv. f. 3 k.

Wings fulvous, varied with white and black, posterior beneath reticulated
with white, and with two ocelli.

A native of North America, and recorded by Mr. Dale, in Loudon, I. c. as indi-
genous to Pembrokeshire, where it was taken by Captain Blomer : but its
capture there doubtless proceeded from the same cause, as I have remarked
in vol. i. p. 102, when speaking of Pa. Bucephalus.

with the figure above referred to, from a specimen taken by Dr. Maclean,
near Colchester ; another similar example is in Mr. Ingall's collection, also,
I believe, found near Colchester. Mr. Curtis appears to have copied the
larva of L. Sibilla in mistake for that of this species.

Anterior wings above black-brown, posterior with an indistinct fulvesceut
fascia on the marghi ; beneath of a paler brown, with a slightly waved
bluish-white streak, faintly interrupted, and common to all the wings ; on
the margin of the posterior wings is a broad bright tawny-red fascia, mar-
gined on both sides with somewhat lunate black spots, which are crowned
with a short bluish line ; on the anterior wings also this streak is generally
visible, with two or three minute black dots, crowned as before on the inner
edge. Female larger, with a tawny fascia on all the wings above.

In vol. ii. p. 69, 1 first recorded the fact of this species having been detected in
England : the account given by Mr. Curtis is erroneous, he, as well as
myself and others, having been imposed upon by a dealer: the insect occnrs
in profusion in Monks' wood, Hunts, towards the end of June, at which
period it was there taken by C. C. Babington, Esq.; and in the beginning of
July I had the pleasure of capturing it there myself: it may be known from
Th. W-album by the characters above given.

Page 78. Thecla Spini > Wood Ind. Ent. pi. 2.f. 53. — Not being able at this
time to correct the description of this insect, in consequence of the dispersion
of Haworth's collection, I have referred to the figure of my friend Mr. Wood.
The insect is now in the possession of Dr. Warburton.

Page 79. Lyc^na Phlaeas. Mr. Desvignes lately showed me two varieties of
this insect, nearly alike, and with only one large black spot in the centre of
the anterior wings above, the usual fascia of spots being obliterated.

my garden at the Hermitage in April. For wings, in the description of the
larva, read rings

near Taunton.

Of the remaining species of Polyommatus, I have nothing satisfactory to offer
regarding their distinctions, though I cannot agree with Mr. Newman in his
remarks upon Po. Agestis, in Ent. Mag. v. ii. p. 515 and 516, as his defi-
nitions do not accord with my series of specimens of the three insects,
obtained from nearly every one of the localities enumerated by him.

insuflaciency of the conclusions of the anonymous writer. I may, however,
remark, that as 1 have never yet seen an insect from the American continent
corresponding in every respect with any one of the Old World — and I have
seen thousands therefrom — I therefore continue firmly of opinion that natives
of fliaf country cannot be indigenous in this.

These three insects have each been taken in many places on the coasts of
England, between Worthing in Sussex, and Cromer in Norfolk, during the
last few autumns ; the latter insect has also occurred near Worcester and
Dudley, and the former near Bath.

Anterior wings green, with various irregular, paler, darker and yellowish
fasciae ; posterior wings brownish green, with a paler submarginal streak.

A noble specimen of this remarkably beautiful insect (5 inches 3 lines in
expanse) was taken in the beginning of September 1833 by a lady in her
drawing-room at Dover: whether the pupa had been imported in some of
the numerous packages of foreign fruits, &c., or the insect itself had been
brought over in one of the passage-vessels, is a question not easily solved.
The larva feeds upon an exotic plant, but has been found in a garden near
Charmooth, as appears by a subsequent communication to theEnt. Mag. by
Capt. Blomer.

Although this last name has not the priority, it is advisable to adopt it, the
former insect, as pointed out in the place referred to, having b.irne the name
Crabroniforme, as shown in my Catalogue, ii. 35. No. 5931, and thereby
prevent confusion.

Caterpillar whitish; feeds on the mulberry, lettuce, &c.: chrysalis brown,
enclosed in a dense cocoon, composed of fine silk, sometimes exceeding 300
yards in length.

I hare merely noticed this truly valuable insect, inasmuch as Albin has figured
it, in all its phases, in order to state that it has no pretensions for admission
amongst our indigenous insects, being a native of the tropics, and having
been introduced into Europe (Italy) in the time of the Emperor Justinian.

bristle; tropin undiscovered. Head clothed with short scales in front, and
with long hairy scales on the crown ; eyes large, globose : thorax densely
clothed wdth very long decumbent hairs : abdomen short, completely
covered with down, the apex producing a fascicle of hairs as long as the
body in the male : wings deflexed when at rest, densely clothed with scales ;

(Exp. Alar. 1 unc. 6 ? lin.)

" Male cream-colour ; rays of antennae ochreous ; eyes cinereous, surrounded
with black ; anterior portion of the thorax pale reddish-brown ; tuft of hairs
at the apex of the abdomen pale yellow ; wings glossy, with the nervures of a
dull and pale purplish tint, especially the superior (costal) towards the
base; anterior tibiae in front, as well as the basal joint of the tarsi, deep
brown : all the tarsi beneath ochreous : pulvilli brown." " Captured by
J. Sparshall, Esq. in a lane near Homing, early in the morning of the 7th of

The name Arcturus having been previously employed by Latreille amongst
the Crustacea, must be changed; I therefore propose Trichiocercus
{OpiK villus, Kepxoe Cauda).

whether this be the typeof theHypercompae of Hubner," — spelt Hypercampae

stance that, until very recently, I did not possess the means of ascertaining
Hubner's genera, being compelled to follow the bungling references to them by
Ochsenheimer and Treitschke ; and their great incorrectness has induced me
to extract the whole of the indigenous genera and species, so far as I know
them, and to subjoin them at the end of this Appendix, and thereby enable
the reader to judge for himself as to the application of Hubner's name

ihroughout not only this work, but nearly all the work^ published on the
European Lepidoptera since 1816. With regard to the name of the present
genus, as given by Hubner, it will be perceive<l, on reference to Strips VIII.
of his second tribe of Phalsnae, that it is his genus 509 Heracma, and that
his Strips IX. (corresponding nearly with my genus Arctia,) is called
HypercomjHB.

irregular red mark on each towards the centre.

Hubner's genus Euder^a. Wood has given a figure of it as Eu. Thapsi-

Melauippe Blomeri, Curtis, v. ix. pi. 416. — Anterior wings ashy-grey,
minutely dotted with black, with an obscure fulvescent streak near the
base, and some faint waved dusky ones to beyond the middle, terminating
in a double black line, which is considerably waved, thence to the apex
bright tawny, with a pale waved streak towards the hinder margin, the
latter with an interrupted black line: posterior wings ashy, with pale
fuscescent bands, darkest on the margin, which has an interrupted black
line ; cilia dull ochreous.

Taken in Castle Eden Dean in July by Mr. Wailes, to whom I am indebted
for specimens: it was previously found by Capt. Blomer.

Page 30-1.. Venilia maculata. In addition to the remarkable variety here
mentioned, may be mentioned a specimen so completely suffused with black,
excepting a small space towards the hinder margin of each wing, as to put
on the appearance of Psodos Equestrata: such an example Mr. Newman
allowed me to inspect.

Page 306. Pt. cinereata .'' Referred to with doubt in my Catalogue as the
same with Ge. decoraria, Hubner (which I believe to be a different insect);
therefore not given as British by me.

Page 309. Ptychopoda. Curtis, Jo 38-t. — I have always considered it to be
an acknowledged axiom that when an author finds that he has committed
an error^, and subsequently corrects it, whether pointed out by others, or
discovered by himself^ his correction is to be considered as his real opinion;
not so, however, with Mr. Curtis, for in almost every instance in which I
have corrected the old references given in my Catalogue,* or introduced

" References, it must be remarked, often made nearly fifteen years since, as
well known to Mr. Curtis, — he having at the time borrowed the respective
portions as outlined by me in succession for the purpose of copying, and from
that copy, assisted by my published one and the Illustrations he formed his
Guide, a point rendered very evident when I mention that, out of 10, liJO species

them with a note of doubt, he subsequently reverts to my original statements,
because he chooses to overlook my last published remarks on the doubtful
points, and in no instance has he admitted more misstatements than under
the present genus, which alone induces me to refer to them here, in order to
put his readers on their guard as to his usual practice, as well as injustice
to my own.
In the place above referred to Mr. Curtis gives Ph. Ge. aversata of Linn^ for
the type of Acidalia: this, however, is Treitschke's 8th species of Idaea, —
the type of his Acidalia being Geo. ochreata of Wien. Verz. I therefore
continue my own appellation.

Page 311. Ac. aversata. Mr. Curtis says, "the other figure referred to by
Mr. Stephens is an Eupithecia ! " If he had looked at the plate referred to
(Hubner, pi. 75. f. 388) he would have found that it was one of the very
numerous errors of a similar description committed by Hubner himself by
transposing his own numbers: my reference is Geo. aversata, fig. 388. —
now the Eupithecia is fig. 389. (Eu. pumillata), the numbers being trans-
posed in Hubner's plate.

towards the centre; behind this fascia are two somewhat parallel waved
pale fuscous streaks, and a darker line on the extreme edge : posterior wings
somewhat similar, but the reddish-brown fascia is more basal, and the black
dot is placed beyond its outer edge.

Taken by Mr. Curtis in the Isle of Portland in June.

Curtis, who published on this group last month ; and in his remarks upon
Pyralis, he makes no mention of the occasional want of tarsi in the males of
some of the species ; and he likewise omits to notice that I had corrected
the reference (given in my Catalogue, No. 6762), to Ph. Ge. barbalis to Ph.

with the central fascia narrower and more waved.

Wings pearly-white, anterior with golden-brown atoms and fascise, posterior
with a marginal fascia composed of deep violet dots, with a silvery centre.
Treitschke says, " Das vaterland dieses schonen zunslers, ron welchem es
night entschieden ist, ob er wirklich Europa zugehore, soil England seyn,"
which 1 believe implies that he is uncertain whether it be European, but if
so, that it is supposed to have been received from England.

It is the Py. magnificalis, Hiibner, Py. pU 16./. 104, and I am of opinion it
has never been found in Britain.

I know not what this species is: it is introduced in the work last quoted, witli
doubt, as are also the following insects, viz. Tort, amplana, pustulana,
Germana, Arbutana, and areolana, and as they may possibly be included
amongst the new species I have already treated of, I shall merely refer the
reader to their positions in the Abstract of Hubner's arrangement, which

Amongst the Tortricidje, &c. are some few species still hi my collection unde-
scribed, and a few have been elsewhere recorded as British, respecting which
I am in doubt. I am therefore compelled to pass them over, as it is possible
they may either be varieties of other insects, or not entirely new : the same
remark may be made with regard to the two succeeding families, as observed
in p. 357.

I have now to proceed with the Synoptic Tables of the Families treated of
in this volume, with the exception of the first and the last, which have been
already done in their respective places.

Genus 386. Aechmia, Treitsdike, The type of which is Callisto Fyeslella.

Genus 326. Palpula, Treitschke. Hiibner having introduced the name Macrochilo
previously to its appearance in my Catalogue for a different genus, which I had adopted
amongst the Pyrahdae ; Treitschke's name must be substituted amongst the Ypono-
meutidre.

" In this Abstract the numerals, letters, and numbers on the left of the divisions, &c. arc
those employed by Hiibner, and those on the right refer to the vol. and page of tliese
Illustrations and my Catalogue — the high numbers only to the last : it may be remarked in
some instances a double reference is made to the latter works ; in such cases it appears that
Hiibner has considered either sexes or varieties as distinct species Hiibner's numbers I
have adhered to, in order to exemplify the propriety of establishing the various genera
proposed in these Illustrations (especially amongst the larger insects), as it has been observed
in reference thereto, that such genera are founded upon ignorance of foreign groujjs, by
creating "every species into a genus, and every variety into a species"! ! By an insjjection
of this List it will readily be seen how far Hiibner coincides with me in the establishment of
genera, upon a knowledge of no less than 4198 species, European and exotic, divided into
1258 genera; and it may be remarked that the first indigenous genus, according to Ilubner,
is his 128th species. I may add, that as the following extract was made very rapidly (having
a very limited time to take it). 1 believe that some few species and genera are omitted, as
Psodos Equestrata, for i stance.

I possess all the insects contained in the following extract, excepting such as have a -f-
aiinexed, and have foreign specimens of those to which a J is placed, as similarly indicated in
the body of tiie woik.

POSTSCRIPT.

In Newman's Grammar of Entomology, it is remarked, in page 287, that Haworth's
Lepidoptera Britannica contains " descriptions of the British Lepidoptera known
at the time the author wrote [1803 to 1828], and very few have been discovered
since." And in the following page, in speaking of these Illustrations, he states the work
" contains descriptions of all the known British Lepidoptera." It would therefore appear,
from the words which I have placed in italics, that but little exertion had been made of
late years towards the investigation of the species of our indigenous Lepidoptera ; but the
fact is, that exactly one-fourth of those described by me have been added ivithin these few
years ! and are not to be found in Haworth ; inasmuch as I have described 1887 species
(70 of which are in addition to my Catalogue, notwithstanding several therein given as
species are reduced,) and Haworth only 141G, after abating those twice entered, thereby
makhig an addition of 471 species.

1 may here take occasion to add, in allusion to the note in p, 380, and the paragraph
to which it is attached, that I entirely repudiate any participation in the nomenclature of
the insects figured in the work referred to, except that I have occasionally introduced some
English names where they were deficient, — but that I have merely lent the insects therein
figured, so far as I possess them, and that, from occasional transpositions having been
made in the boxes, their nomenclature has been subsequently defective. I do not, however,
pretend to say that only those I have referred to are transposed, as I had not leisure
to "o through all the figures. I may conclude by adding that the 9 of Aspilates gilvaria
appears to have been figured for Pelonia vibicaria, in pi. 20, f. 5391, published on the
31st January last.
