true Euzopherce, such as cinerosella, Z., pingtiis, Hw., &c., and re- 

 sembles very much that of Ancijlosis, so that as I find a good number 

 of species hitherto mixed up in the genera Myelois, Euzo2)hera, Acro- 

 hasis, JVi/ctetjretis, and Anci/losis, such as salidoseUa, Stgr., terstrigella, 

 Chr., rhodochreUa, U.S., pgrethrella, H.-S., candidateUa, Ijd., ocliracea, 

 Stgr., samaritanella, 7i., among which I include ohlitella, 7i., provision- 

 ally, all agreeing with each other in neuration, form of palpi, and 

 antennjB. I place them in a special genus to be called Seterogr aphis. 

 Ohlitella differs somewhat from the other species. As in the species 

 of the genus Ancglosis, SeterograpJiis can easily be recognised by the 

 position of veins 4 and 5 of the fore-wings, these veins originating 

 from nearly the angle of the cell, so that they are in a line with the 

 median nervure. The hind-wings have only seven veins, vein 2 arising 

 from just before the angle of the cell, whilst 3 and 5 (4 wanting) are 

 on a long stem. The antennae are generally simple, sometimes sinuous 

 near the base, pubescent, rarely ciliated. The labial palpi ascending, 

 more or less curved ; the maxillary palpi filiform, very small, indis- 

 tinct. 



Ohlitella, Z., has a very wide range ; it occurs in southern Europe, 

 Germany, Hungary, southern Eussia, Asia (Kouldja), and it is also 

 common in ISTorth America, where it has been described by Clemens as 

 Nepho'pteryx undidatella. Walker has also described it as Neph. 

 propriella. 



A specimen from the Isle of AVight is recorded in Ent. Mo. Mag., 

 XV, p. 187. 



It is a very variable insect, generally pale grey, but sometimes so 

 suffused with fuscous scales, especially the female, that the wings be- 

 come of quite a uniform blackish-brown colour. The hind-wings of 

 the American specimens are somewhat darker, and the dark spot 

 before the first line on the inner margin is extended into a broad dark 

 band. 



Ohlitella, Z., does not seem to be well known, it is mixed with 

 allied species, and even Zeller was not well acquainted with the insect, 

 for he sent me under the name of ohlitella, several Ancglosis neglectella, 

 Hein., which is a very different species, easily distinguished by the 

 neuration, veins 4 and 5 of the fore- wings arising from a common point, 

 or very shortly stemmed, whilst in ohlitella the stem is very long ; 

 moreover, neglectella and ephedrella, H.-S., are of a yellowish-brown 

 colour, and the lines are not so white and distinct as in ohlitella. 



The larva of ohlitella,7i., is unknown ; but Clemens found a num-
