YPONOMEUTID.E. DEPRESSARIA. 199 



Ti. badiella. H'ubner.—De. badieUa. Steph. Catal. ii. 193. No. 7162. 



Anterior wings fuscous or bay-colour, with numerous irregular indistinct 

 darker, or dusky, streaks, slightly clouded at the base with fuscous, and with 

 a few very obscure fuscous dots on the extreme hinder margin : posterior 

 wings fuscous. 



Found at Darenth wood, and near Hertford and Ripley in July, 

 at Dover in August, and near Barham in September ; also found in 

 Norfolk, but not common. 



Sp. 7. characterosa. Alis anticis griseis, subnebulosis, costCi rosea characieri f 

 nigra iuterruptd media, posticis albidis. (Exp. Alar. 8 — 9 lin.) 



De. characterosa. Haworth. — Steph, Catal. i'l. 193. A^o. 7163. 



Anterior wings pale griseous, slightly clouded, and with a purplish tinge, 

 with a black mark on the disc, resembling a note of interrogation, and 

 placed longitudinally. 



Found occasionally within the metropolitan district in the autumn, 

 and I believe also in the New Forest. 



Sp. 8. Carduella. Alis anticis rubro-testaceis, atomis saiuraiioribus, punctis 

 duobus viinutissimis maculaque posticd nigris, posticis fiavesceniibus. (Exp. 

 Alar. 6 lin.) 



Ti. Carduella. Hubner.—T>e. Carduella. Steph. Catal. ii. 194. No. 7173. 



Anterior wings testaceous-red, with darker atoms, a pair of minute black dots 



on the disc before the middle, and a conspicuous spot of the same colour 



towards the apex: posterior wings pale yellowish- ochre : head, palpi, and 



thorax, pale yellow. 

 The caterpillar feeds on the corn-flower (^Ceniaurea cyanus), and the imago 



appears towards the end of July. 



The only examples of this pretty and distinct species which I have 

 seen are a pair taken in the New Forest, near Brockenhurst, in July 

 1821, and another that I obtained from Donovan's collection. 



Sp. 9. gilvella. Alis anticis pallida rufo-ochraceis veljlavidis atomis maculaque 

 media fuscis, punclisque tribus atris. (Exp. Alar. 9 — 10 lin.) 



Ti. gilvella. Hi(bner.—Y>e. gilvella. Steph. CataLii. 194. No. 7170. 



Anterior wings pale reddish-ochre or yellowish, with minute fuscous atoms, 

 coalesced into spots on the costa, a rounded brown spot in the middle of the 

 disc, adjoining to which are three deep black dots, one pair contiguous and 

 placed obliquely towards the inner base, the other dot behind the brown 

 spot : on the hinder margin is a row of fuscous dots : cilia pale straw- 

 colour : posterior wings whitish, with an occasional dusky tinge.
