original description, which, although it might be taken to apply perhaps 

 almost equally well to staechadella. Oust., or to spermophagia, Wlsm., 

 appears to point in some particulars rather to the latter than to the 

 former. It is worthy of remark that the original description is the 

 only direct reference to Spanish specimens of anthophafja, which is 

 not even included in Seebold's list of Spanish species [Iris XI, 291- 

 322 (I89S)] — all other references are to French specimens, or mere 

 citations of the original reference. If Dr Staudinger is responsible 

 for the error, or his representatives have been issuing another species 

 under his name, any correction should follow from the same quarter, 

 and I deliberately publish the above name for my Spanish species, 

 feeding as it does on a different plant, to show that I do not venture 

 to accuse so high an authority, upon the quite insufficient evidence 

 before me, of either intentionally, or unintentionally, misleading 

 Milliere, Ragonot, and myself.

The recognition of the distinctness of this new genus induces 

 me now to regard as a good species the small rosmarinella, originally de- 

 scribed as a variety of anthophaga, Stgr. In its smaller size and in its 

 almost unicolourous wing-surface it more nearly resembles spermopJia- 

 (jfia, with which it also agrees in its shorter and ])orrect, rather than 

 recurved palpi. I should therefore place it next this species observing 

 that it is separated from both by its much smaller size {Exp. al. 

 barely 12 mm.).

It is possible that mnemosynella, Mill., of which little is known, 

 should also be placed here, but if so it is more nearly related (by the 

 description of the palpi) to anthophaga, tli;in to rosmarinella which it 

 resembles in its reduced size.
