This distinct species is at first sight soinewliat similar to Hypso- 

 lophus cisti., Stgr., having much the same tint of colour, but it is at 

 once distinguishable by the more elongate and narrower tuft on the 

 median joint of the palpi, by the separate origin of vein G in the 

 forewings, by the presence of three conspicuous spots in a line along 

 the disc, and by tlie slender parallel lines of fuscous scales running 

 through the terminal cilia ; moreover tlie cilia of the hind-wings are 

 more ochreous. I have little doubt that this is the species which 

 Milliere described and figured as limbiptmctella, iStgr. ?, and which 

 was in Staudinger's opinion " Peut-etre species nova."

This species differs from others in the genus in its greyer colour- 

 ing combined with the absence of all markings except the small discal 

 spot. In colour it is not unlike the French tufti, Wlsm., but from 

 this it is amply distinguished by its smaller size, corresponding with 

 that of sepnratcUus, F. E., and perhaps very small varieties of suh- 

 dolellus, Stgr., but these are entirely different in colour. 



3201 : 1. — Depressaria oenistella, sp. n. 



Antenna mouse-grey. Palpi mouse-grey, sprinkled with fuscous externally on 

 the median joint and in two rings round the terminal joint. Head and Thorax 

 mouse-grey, the latter tufted posteriorly. Foretvings pale mouse-grey, the colour- 

 effect being apparently produced by a very profused sprinkling of pale cinereous
