Ti. aridella. Wenner.—Cr. aridellus. Steph. Caial. ii. 220. No. 7498. 



Anterior wings yellowish- ash;, with a transverse fuscous line in the middle, 

 extending on the inner margin to the base, and another very flexuous one 

 between it and the hinder margin, and on the extreme edge of the latter a 

 row of minute black dots ; cilia metallic and glossy : posterior wings 

 whitish, immaculate. 



Taken in the beginning of July at Darenth wood. 



Sp. 31. selasellus. Alis aiiticis latioribus pallide ochraceis, fascia abbreviata 

 longitudinali media subargentea extiis nigra adnata, intus subserrata, apice

Ti. selasella. Hubner.—Cr. selasellus. Steph. Catal. ii. 220. No. 7390.— 

 Agrifhila, Hubner. 



Anterior wings rather broad, pale ochreous, with an abbreviated longitudinal 

 somewhat silvery streak in the middle, edged with black towards the costa, 

 and faintly serrated within towards the apex, which is bifid; cilia pale 

 shining ochreous : posterior wings of a lurid pale brown, with shining paler 

 cilia. 



Slightly variable in tint, some specimens being of a brownish hue. 



Rather local, but abundant where found : I have taken it near 

 London, and in July 1827 it occurred copiously at Ripley, as it 

 appears to do in the New Forest. 



Sp. 32. obtusellus. Alis anticis latioribus, obtusis, Jtiscescentibus, fascia lojtgi-

Cr. obtusellus. Steph. Catal. ii. 220. No. 7192. 



Anterior wings broad and obtuse, fuscous, with a somewhat silvery longitu- 

 dinal streak, extending from the base nearly to the apex, where it becomes 

 slightly furcate, and on its inner margin it is a little serrated ; at the base 

 of the cilia is a dusky line, and the cilia are faintly metallic and glossy : 

 posterior wings fuscous, with dark cilia. 



Found near Ripley in June 1827, not very common : I have also 

 obtained it from Mr. Haworth's cabinet. 



Sp. 33. petrificellus. Alis anticis latioribus brevibus, pallide flavis fuscoque 

 conspersis, strigd longitudinali medio alba apice ^-digitata, linedque transversa 

 repanda albd terminate. (Exp. Alar. 10 lin.)

 Excl. synon. 



Anterior wings rather broad and short, pale yellowish, or ochreous, with 

 fuscous atoms, a pearly-white streak in the middle, terminating at the apex
