5. viridella Fab. — sphingiella Hilb. 19. 129. — Reaumurella 



Linn. ? — He says " Frons alba," which makes it doubt- 

 ful whether this be his insect ; yet I am disposed to be- 

 lieve that it is, as the female of A. viridella has a pale 

 crown to the head. 



6. Scabiosella iSco/5. — viridella /ZiVJ. 19. 128. — cupi'ella i/atu.

6\cuprella Fab.— Hub. 27. 185. 

 A species new to Britain, and taken by Mr. Dale at Glan-
