OELECniA SOLUTELLA, Z., ab. CRUTTWELLI, n. ab. 

 BY EUSTACE R. BANKEs, M.A., P.E.S. 



This albinic form has the fore-\vin<i;s greyish-white, onlv darkened, 

 just here and there, by a few fuscous scales. The extreme base, how- 

 ever, is fuscous, powdered with greyish-while, and the usual black 

 stigmata are present, and are rendered exceptionally conspicuous by 

 the paleness of the ground-colour. The specimen before me resembles 

 the type in the colour of the head, thorax, hind-wings, and abdomen. 



Of this grand aberration, which I have much pleasure in naming 

 after Canon C. T. Cruttwell, the only example that I have; seen was 

 included amongst other Lepidoptera recently received from him for 

 identification. It is a very large male, with a wing expanse of 19'5 

 mm., and in fine condition, and differs so greatly in appearance from 

 the typical Oelechia sohitella, 7i., that it might well be mistaken for a 

 totally distinct species, but I have no doubt whatever that it repre- 

 sents an extreme form of this insect, which is alread}^ known to be 

 sometimes lightly dusted with greyish-white. 



The individual in question was taken at Aviemore, Inverness- 

 shire, by Canon Cruttwell during the past summer, and since a similar
