with two conspicuous longitudinal bronzy streaks (more or 

 less edged with black scales), one on the fold and one between 

 the costa and the fold ; on the inner margin are a few scales 

 of the same colour ; apex of the wing dark fuscous ; cilia of 

 the apex dark fuscous, otherwise pale grey. Posterior wings 

 dark grey, with paler cilia. 



This conspicuous insect, so totally different from every 

 other species of Coleophora, was discovered in the larva 

 state by Mr. T. Wilkinson near Scarborough, feeding on the 

 leaves of Cerastium arvense, in May; and the following

The species had occurred in several parts of the Continent, 

 at Glogau, Jena, Frankfort-on-the-Main, Vienna, in Bohe-

Very different from the other British species of the genus ; 

 the sloe-feeding Gaunacella, it is true, has some resemblance 

 to Angustkollella, but in Gaunacella the anterior wings are
