Ch. punctig-erellus. Steph. Catal. ii. 221. Xo. 7500. 



Anterior wines obtuse pale fuscous, with numerous darker, or dusky clouds, 

 and with a distinct row of minute fuscous dots on the hinder margin : 



posterior wing^ whitish, with a faint interrupted submarffinal streak, and on 

 the extreme edge a few minute blackish dots ; cilia ashy. 



Of this conspicuous species I have a fine specimen, which was 

 taken in July, in the neighbourhood of Whittlesea ^Mere, 



Sp. 4. Phragmitellus. Alis anticis, maris retuso-acuminatis,foeminae sublanceo-

TL PhragmiteUa. ITubner.—Ch. Phragmitellus. Stepk. Catal ii. 221. Xo. 7501. 



Anterior wings retuse-acuminated in the males, sublanceolate in the females, 

 of a more or less duU straw or clay-colour ; the disc, especially towards the 

 apex, appearing striated, the strise closer and darker than the intervals ; in 

 the middle is a black spot, and on the extreme hinder margin is a row of 

 minute black dots: posterior wings ample, whitish, with paler cUia, and on 

 the extreme e^e a few black dots. 



Apparently very abundant in the vicinity of Whittlesea Mere, 

 in June, ftom whence I have an extensive series of varieties ; it has 

 also been taken in Norfolk. 



Sp. o. gigantellus. Alis anticis acuminatis cinereo-Jlavicantibus, immaculatis, 

 posticis albis nitidis. (Exp. Alar. 1 unc. 6 — 8 lin.) 



Ti. gigantella. Wien. Verz. — Ch. gigantellus. Steph. Catal. ii. 221. Xo. 7502. 



Anterior wings acuminate, of an ashy-yellow, and immaculate, the disc 

 towards the apex with some obscure darker striae, and occasionally towards 

 the inner margin with some faint'remote dusky atoms ; cilia pale ochreous : 

 posterior wings glossy white, with paler cdia. 



Extremely rare : it was first taken by the late Mr. Hatchett, in 

 the marshes about Hackney, and I possess a splendid pair that was 

 taken in .July at Whittlesea ^lere : it is the largest of this sectiun of 

 Lepidoptera.

 dinali fuscescente casta pallida ; foemins alis anticis angustioribus pallidioribtiS
