FUMEA. By Dr. E. Strand. 367 



P. graecella Mill, closely resembles Epichnopteryx jmlla, but the fore tibia has a spine in typical graecella. 

 Psychidea, and the wings are rather more elongate. Forewing 8 mm long. — Greece, in May. 



P. alpherakii Heyl. (= nocturnella Stgr., rouasti Alph.) (56 g). Yellowish grey, body black, but the alpheralcii. 

 hair grey. Antenna with 24 segments. Hindwing slightly transparent; all the fringes glossy white. Expanse 

 13^ — -15 mm. Forewing with 10 free veins. — Tarbagatai district and Tianshan. 



P. raiblensis Mann has light grey, thinly scaled, elongate wings, the forewing bearing a darker reti- raiilensis. 

 culation. Fringes glossy light grey. Body dark, with light grey hair. Antenna short. Spine of fore tibia long. 

 Forewing 9 mm long, r— Carinthia, in June. 



e. Subfamily: Fumeinae. 



Distinguished from the preceding subfamilies in that the fore tibia always bears a spine ; a cell in the 

 cell is usually jsresent, the scaling of the wings consists for the greater part of broad scales ; forewing with 

 11 free marginal veins. The abdomen of the (^ not protrusible. The 9 has segmented antenna, legs and 

 protrusible ovipositor and always leaves the case ; the latter never covered with sand. 



23. Genus: fiiiuea Steph. 



The pectinations of the ^J -antenna commence already on the third segment, i. e. the first segment 

 of the shaft. The spine of the foretibia may be long or short. $ with non-divided dorsal plates on the ab- 

 dominal segments. Larva reddish yellow, with black-brown head, the thoracic plates also black-brown, marked 

 with yellow. Case cylindrical. 



F. reticulatella 5r(i. (55i). Forewing 6 mm long, aenescent-brown, with paler reticulation; hinchring reii-ulaieUa. 

 browiiish grey, unicolorous. Antenna with long pectinations and brownish. $ brow-nish, with pale yellowish grey 

 anal wool. Larva on tree-lichens, smaller and with sharper markings than in F. crassiorella, the case with 

 less coarse covering than in that species. — Dalmatia, Southern France, and Bithynia. 



F. glaphyrella Rebel, from Morea, has more elongate wings than F. reticulatella; forewing light grey glaphyrella. 

 to yellowish white, with blackish reticulation; hindwing whitish yellow-grey, with traces of black reticulation 

 before the distal margin. Fringes unicolorous. Head and thorax dark brownish grey, abdomen blackish grey 

 with single yellow hair-scales. Antenna short, bipectinate, the teeth strongly ciliate, clavate, tapering in the 

 last third of the antenna. Expanse 10.8 — 14 mm. Flies the end of May. 



F. comitella Brd. (55 i). The wings pale luteous grey, the forewing with darker network (sometimes comitdla. 

 indistinct), 7 — 8 mm long. Antenna with short pectinations, pale yellowish grey. Hind tibia yellowish. 9 

 flesh-red, with lighter legs and yellowish white anal wool. Larva similar to that of F. casta, but paler. The case 

 with reddish covering studded with pine-needles and stalks. Flies in June in the mountains of France, South- 

 western Germany, in the Tyrol, Carinthia, Switzerland and Bukowina, questionably also in Armenia. — saxicolella saxicoleUa. 

 Brd. is a paler form, without dark reticulation, the ground grejdsh white, fringes and apex of forewing greyish 

 black; France. 



F. norvegica Schoyen is close to F. crassiorella Brd., but more grey in tint; head with light grey hair; norvegica 

 antemia grey, with 20 — 22 segments; spur of foretibia moderately long, legs greyish yellow, fringes yellowish 

 white, glossy. Forewing with large cell in the cell, expanse 16^20 mm. The $ resembles crassiorella, but 

 is yellowish grey, head and thoracic plates brownish, the abdominal segments above with brown quadrangular 

 spot, anal wool white. Larva biennial, also similar to that of crassiorella, but the head black with paler 

 stripes, the thoracical segments with broad black stripes. Case short, cylindrical, the covering arranged length- 

 ways. Norway, Southern France (Alpes Mar itimes), Switzerland; also said to occur in Transcaucasia. — 

 In Hor. Soc. Ent. Ross. 39. 1910 (1912) p. 201—206 the species is fully dealt with by H. Bloecker. 



F. subflavella ilf i7^. resembles F. comitella, but is pale yellowish grey; forewing not reticulated, 7 mm subflavellcu 

 long. Spine of fore tibia moderately long. Antenna with 24 segments. The wings are relatively a little 

 broader at the base than in crassiorella. ? as in comitella, likewise the larva, but the latter anteriorly brighter 

 yellow. Case irregularly covered with bitten-off pieces of stalks, fastened on old walls. Flies at the Riviera, 

 at Lucarno and Santa Maria Maggiore in June. — edwardsella TiUt has only 20 segments in the antenna and is edwardsella . 

 a very little smaller than subflavella ; from South-Eastern Fi'ance. 



F, crassiorella Brd. (= affinis Reutti, 1 germanica Chapm., ? mitfordella Chapm.) (55 i). Forewing crassiorella. 

 vividly glossy aenescent-brown, 8 — 9 mm long; hindwing duller; both wings broad. Build strong, which is also 

 the case in the ?; this sex flesh-colour, with darker legs and yellowish grey anal wool. The larva, too, is more 

 robust than in the allied species, the head bearing prominent yellow markings. The case is covered with coarse
