This group so nearly approaches Penthina, Spilonota, &c. on 

 one side, that there is little to distinguish them excepting the 

 style of colouring on the superior wings ; and on the other 

 hand Zeiraphera is closely allied to Grapholitha. The scales 

 on the palpi are long, and make them heavy in appearance ; 

 the depressed scales on the face give the head a somewhat 

 different character to the other genera, and the upper pair of 

 spurs on the hinder tibiae are placed at the centre in the type. 

 The following are British species. 



1 . Hastiana Linn. — Curt. Brit. Ent. pi. 711 ? . — ulmana Hilb. 

 45. 278 c?-— areolana Hub. 279 ? . 



29th May, near Exeter; 28th June, Devon, Mr. Cocks. 

 The figure referred to by Linnaeus in Cierck's Icones has pec- 

 tinated antennae, and is evidently a different insect, as well as 

 Hiibner's hastayia ; yet I have little doubt that ours is the 

 Linnaean insect, the sexes of which Hlibner seems to have 

 considered as belonging to two species. Not having a speci- 

 men for dissection, I cannot be positive that it belongs to this 

 genus, but it appears to be allied to the following species. 



2. perfuscana Haiso. 467, 231. Wood's ^o^. 1007 does not 

 agree with Haworth's description. 



This and the 3 following species, if I mistake not, are found 

 on the flowers of umbelliferae at Darent, Mickleham, &c. 



3. pustulana Hiih. 33. 208. is the T. mh&equana^ Hanso. 

 My specimen may be only a variety of the foregoing species. 



4. Lediana Linn. — Wood^ pi. '61. f. 934. 

 June, Norfolk, Darent and the New Forest. 



5. nitidana Fab. — Wood, 31.935. 



Hedges, end of May and June, Darent and New Forest. 



6. Strobilelia Li7in. — argyrana Hiib.? 8. 4G. 

 Beginning of May, hedges. 



7. fraternana Haxv. — strobilelia Wood, 31. 917? — Strobilana 

 Hub. 12. 70 c{. 



Amongst fir-trees, 14th July, in Black-wood, Loch Rannoch. 



8. atromargana Haxv. 446. 165. Wood, 31. 916. 



Trunks of oaks, beginning of June, Kensington gardens, 

 and woods round London. 



9. communana Fab. — Wood, 34, 1029. — corticana Hiib. — 

 Lichenana Treit.

 &c. 

 The plant is Dipsacus sylvestris. Wild Teasel.
