134 LEPIDOPTERA. 



to any other pabulum with which it has been tried. • The 

 male is excessively like Pellionella, but the female is more 

 like Biselliella, which it quite resembles in colour, though 

 otherwise readily distinguished by the presence of a discoidal 

 spot, and by the absence of the dark edging of the costa at 

 the base. The most perceptible characters by which to dis- 

 tinguish Dubiella, male, from Pellionella, are that the wings 

 are darker, especially the posterior pair, and the hind margin 

 of the anterior wings is more obtuse. " 



Tinea fuscescentella, Gregson. 



Mr. Gregson has proposed this name for another new 

 Tinea he has met with at Liverpool, which seems inter- 

 mediate between Pellionella and Misella ; I do not, how- 

 ever, feel competent to describe it without examining a more 

 extensive series than I have yet seen. 



Depressaria Rhodochrella, Herrich-S chaffer. 



Mr. Edleston records in the Intelligencer (vol. v. p. 133) 

 the capture of this insect : " I took a beautiful female in the 

 middle of August last, at Blackpool." This summer Mr. 

 Edleston has again met with it at Blackpool. 



Mr. Doubleday remarks, " The Depressaria which you 

 call Rhodochrella was very common, at sugar, in our field 

 twenty years ago ; the black head attracted my attention." 



The dark colour of the head and thorax readily separate 

 this insect from its allies; though otherwise it has much 

 resemblance to Subpropinquella and Atomclla. 



The discovery of the larva will no doubt throw much light 

 on its specific distinctness.
