Hah., California. 
This species is closely allied to G. californica ("Westwood) ; but, as 
far as I can judge from the small number of specimens of allied species 
in the National Collection, it is quite distinct from that insect. 
OBSERVATIONS ON TINEINA. 
BY H. T. STAINTON, F.L.S. 
(Concluded from page 57.) 
GelecMa tenelrella and tenehrosella. — In the Stettin Eutomol. 
Zeitung for 1864, p. 158, is an interesting notice of these insects by 
Herr A. Gartner, of Briiun. That writer discovered the larviB in the 
roots of Mttmex acetosella, sometimes burrowing beneath the bark of 
the root, but more plentiful in the lowermost shoots which spring 
from the root of the plant, in an excavation made in the centre of the 
slioot and spun over with silk ; here the larvae may be found in the 
autumn, and also in the spring. By the 10th of May most of the 
larvae had already attaijied the pupa state. 
The larva is described as of a carmine red, a little paler posterioi-ly, 
and sometimes also paler anteriorly ; the head pitchy-brown, and the 
thoracic shield of the same colour, divided by a paler line ; the anal 
segment bears a small pale brown plate ; ordinary spots brown ; spira- 
cles brown ; the beJly reddish-white.
