NEW BRITISH TINEINA. 

 By H. T. Stainton, F.L.S. 



On the present occasion I have really only two actual novelties 

 to record, Depressaria ohrella and Gdechia fAnguinella ; 

 but the discovery of the larva of Gelechia Lathy ri having led 

 to the interesting fact that that species had been misnamed 

 by us Nigricostella, I have thought it desirable to give a de- 

 tailed notice of the species here. 



Defressaria olerella, Zeller. 

 D. olerella, Zeller, Linn. Ent. ix. p. 337. 

 D. olerella, Stainton, Nat. Hist. Tineina, vi. p. 240. 



Of this species, nearly allied to D. alhipunctella, but im- 

 mediately distinguished by the much more angulated pale 

 hinder fascia, 1 have before me six specimens captured at 

 Woolmer Forest, near Haslemere, by Mr. C. G. Barrett. 



Having so recently described the species in the Natural 

 History of the Tineina, though then unaware of its occurrence 

 in this country, I quote the description there given. 



*^ By the presence of a white spot on the disc, beyond the 

 middle, it reminds one strongly of Albipunctella, but in that 

 species the pale hinder fascia is much less sharply angulated 

 than in Olerella. It also closely resembles Pulcherrimellaf 

 but the more angulated fascia serves likewise to distinguish 

 it from that species, besides which the head and thorax, 

 though paler than in Albijmnctella , are considerably darker
