130 NEW BRITISH TINEINA. 



the Entomological Society of London ; they had been taken 

 near London, on the trunks of poplars. 



It is a large, dull insect, allied to Populella and Nigra ; 

 grey, with obscure, pale-olive markings ; on the Continent it 

 appears to be common and widely distributed. 



Exp. of the wings 9-10 lines. 



Head grey, face paler ; palpi internally whitish-grey, ex- 

 ternally brownish ; antennas dark fuscous, with slightly paler 

 annulations. 



Anterior wings dull greyish-brown, with a few darker 

 markings and some ill-defined paler markings of an olive 

 tint ; the most conspicuous of these is the simply and ob- 

 tusely angulated pale hinder fascia ; along the disc two pale 

 blotches are generally perceptible, the second frequently con- 

 taining a small dark spot, and thus having an ocellated ap- 

 pearance ; the space between these pale spots is generally 

 much darker than the ground colour, and a dark blotch also 

 precedes the first pale spot ; on the costa are two dark 

 blotches, one of them in the middle, the other immediately 

 before the pale hinder fascia; cilia olivaceous-fuscous, with 

 the tips paler. Posterior wings greyish-fuscous, with paler 

 cilia ; abdomen greyish-fuscous, with an ochreous patch on 

 the back of the four anterior segments (abdomen of the $ 

 prolonged and attenuated posteriorly). 



I am told the larva feeds under the bark of poplar trees, 

 and on the 19th May, 1857, I received from my friend Herr 

 Miihlig, of Frankfort-on-the-Main, larvae as those of this 

 species, but, unfortunately, I did not succeed in rearing any. 



Professor Frey observes *that the pupae are sometimes 

 found \ery plentifully under the bark of poplar trees.
