90 LEPIDOPTERA. 



case of Viminetella, and distinctly of two colours, but it is 

 much stumpier and stouter than any Viminetella case I ever 

 met with." Mr. Sayer met with the larvse in some plenty 

 near Hackney, and liberally supplied me with the insect. 



I have also found the case on alders at Lewisham when 

 I have been seai'ching for Statltmopoda Pedella. 



Mr. Scott has proposed the name Politella for a nut-feeding 

 Coleophora described b}^ him in the unpublished paper 

 (before alluded to), which was read before the Entomological 

 Society of London in August last ; further investigations are 

 necessary to establish the identity or the distinctness of 

 Politella and Bicolorella. 



COSMOPTERYX ORICHALCEA, n. sp. 



I propose the above name for the new^ Cosmopteryx taken 

 by Mr. Thomas Brown, some years ago, in the open iew 

 near Cambridge (Int. viii. p. 190), and taken also by 

 Mr. Farren in the IS'ew* Forest last year (Int. viii. p. 195). 

 There are three specimens in the British collection of the 

 British Museum. 



In the Intelligencer, vol. viii. pp. 197 — 199, I called 

 attention to the various closely aUied species of the genus 

 Cosvwj)teryx, observing that the four known species might 

 be thus tabulated. 



Schmidiella. Extreme base of the f. w. black ; apical 



streak uninterrupted. 

 Exiniia. Extreme base of the f. w. black ; apical streak 



interrupted, forming two spots. 

 Dniryella, Z. Entire base brassy, apical streak unin- 

 terrupted. 

 Orichalcea, n, sp. Entire base brassy, apical streak 

 interrupted, forming two spots. » m
