NEW BRITISH SPECIES IN 1854. 65 



and forming the hinder white fascia; there are also a few 

 towards the hinder margin ; the cilia are fuscous. The pos- 

 terior wings are rather pale fuscous, thus much darker than 

 the whitish grey posterior wings of E. ambigualis. 



EUDOREA GRACILALIS, Doubleday,n.sp. ; taken 

 by Mr. Weaver, in Scotland ; expands 9 — 10 lines ; not very 

 nearly allied to any of our known species : the anterior wings 

 have a peculiarly delicate appearance; they are very narrow 

 at the base, gradually widening to a little before the apex; 

 the hinder fascia runs obliquely inwards from the costa, as 

 in E. lineolea; before the hinder margin are several black 

 spots; cilia pale fuscous, with paler patches ; the posterior 

 wings are pale greyish-fuscous, with paler cilia. 



CRAMBUS CASSENTINIELLUS, Mann; a single 

 specimen of this species, from the collection of Mr. Hem- 

 mings, was exhibited at the October meeting of the Entomo- 

 logical Society ; it was taken on the downs near Brighton, 

 a few years back. 



The species is very closely allied to C. rorellus, and like 

 it is at once distinguished from C. clu-ysonucliellus by the 

 greater length of the palpi ; the brighter markings of the 

 anterior wings also readily distinguish it from C. chryso- 

 nuchellus. The species is described by Zeller in the Ent. 

 Zeitung, 1849, page 312. 



RETINIA RESINELLA, Linn. ; bred freely from larvas 

 collected in Perthshire last summer, by Mr. Bouchard. The 

 larva feeds in autumn and spring, in the resinous exudations 

 which it causes on the twigs of Pinus sylvestris. The per- 

 fect insect is allied to H. pinivorana, but the anterior wings 

 are darker, without the reddish tinge of pinicorana, and 

 considerably broader. 



GELECHIA VISCARTELLA, Logan, n. sp. ; bred by 

 Mr. Logan from larvae, feeding in April and May, on the 

 shoots of Lychnis viscaria ; it is closely allied to G. fra-
