CIIUYSOCLISTA. 341 



the terminal joint thinner, acute. Tongue of moderate Icngili, clothed 

 with scales. Wings with very long cilia, the anterior elongate, adorned 

 with viC'taUic tiifh, the posterior lanceolate, with a distinct anal angle. 

 In the anterior wings the discoidal cell is posteriori 1/ diUdcd, imper- 

 fectly closed; the secondary cell is hidicated ; the apical vein is fur- 

 cate, and below it are four veins ; the sidjdorsal has a narrow fork at 

 the base, and at its apex has rather a tendency to become furcate ; the 

 snbmedian is not thickened ; in the posterior wings the median vein is 

 tritid, the discoidal vein sends two branches to the hinder margin, the 

 apical vein is simple. 



The species of this genus Jo not exhibit an entire accordance : 

 in LinneeUa the apex of the subdorsal vein of the anterior wings 

 is quite simple ; Schrankella has no anal angle to the posterior 

 wings, and in this, as also in Jlavicapnf, the apical vein of the 

 posterior wings is connected with the discoidal. FlavicajnU is 

 besides (JestUute af the metallic tufts of tlie anterior wings. 



The perfect insect of Lhnieclla is rarely seen on the wing, 

 generally resting on the trunks of lime-trees ; Jlaricapnt flies 

 freely in the afternoon along hawthorn hedges. The larva of 

 LinneeUa feeds on the inner bark of the lime during the winter 

 and spring (as observed by j\Ir. Boyd and j\Ir. W iug last year) ; 

 it has the tliird and fourth segments somewhat enlarged. The 

 larva of Schrankella, discovered by Mr. Scott, mines the leaves of 

 the Ejnlobium alsinefoliiim in May. 



The species may be tabulated as follows : — 



a. Anterior wings orange and black. 



h. Posterior wings with distinct anal angle. Species 1, 2. 



h h. Posterior wings with no anal angle. Species 3. 

 a a. Anterior wings entirely black. Species t.

Head and face shining black. Palpi whitish, the terminal joint 

 black. Antennfc black, with white tips. Anterior wings deep orange, 

 with the base, costa, aiul inner margin narrowly black, and the apex 

 broadly black, thus leaving; a longish elliptic patch of the ground- 

 colour, into which a short black dash runs from the base above the 

 fold ; along the costa and at the apex are unnu!rous silvery scales ; 

 there are three round tufts of black and silvery scales, the first near 

 the inner margin l)ef()re the middle, the second near the costa in the 

 middle, the third in the fold towards the anal angle; cilia blackish.
