NEW BRITISH SPECIES IN 1856. 105 



be common, and at the same time widely distributed, though 

 hitherto apparently completely overlooked. 



Coleophora Inflate, n. sp. 



Alls anticis albis, vents tenuibus ochreis, squamis nonnullis 

 sparsis nigris; antennis albu. 



Ep. al. 7±— 8j lin. 



Head, face and palpi whitish-ochreous. Antenna? white, un- 

 annulated. Anterior wings white, with slender, neat, ochreous 

 veins, and with a few scattered black scales along the fold 

 and on the disc. Cilia greyish-ochreous. Posterior wings 

 grey, with greyish-ochreous cilia. 



Perhaps most nearly allied to Onosmella, but distinguished 

 by the broader, paler veining of the wings and the scattered 

 black scales. 



I took a specimen of this at Mickleham in July, 1855, 

 but had not recognized it as a distinct species till Mr. Boyd 

 bred it from larva?, which fed on the capsules of the Silene 

 inflata. 



Coleophora Yirgaure.e, n. sp. 

 Alls anticis angustulis albis, venis latiusculis bru.vxeo- 

 ochreis, squamis sparsis saturate Juscis ; antennis albis 

 (interdum grisescente-annulatis . 

 Exp. al. d^—GI lin. 



Head pale grey. Face greyish-ochreous. Palpi whitish. 

 Antenna? white, sometimes entirely so, without annulations ; 

 sometimes faintly annulated with pale grey (but not with the 

 annulation so dark as in Argentula) ; basal joint grey, not 

 tufted, but rather thicker than in Argentula. Anterior 

 wings rather narrow, white, with the veins broadly brownish- 

 ochreous (thus darker than in Argentula) ; in the intervening 

 white spaces are a few scattered dark fuscous scales. The 

 costa is narrowly white to the middle. Cilia on the costa
