168 NEW BRITISH TINEINA. 



black spots, then follows a larger black spot on the cosfca, 

 and obliquely below it a rather elongate black spot on the 

 fold, above the hinder end of which is a minute black dot 

 on the disk. Beyond the costal spot the costa is nriuch 

 clouded with dark grey, without forming a definite spot — 

 beyond the middle is a black spot on the disk, which com- 

 municates with a blackish blotch on the fold a little be- 

 yond it — beyond this is the tawny blotch which occupies the 

 whole space to the angulated fascia ; this is conspicuously 

 white, forming an angle of about 105° (in Huhueri the angle 

 is much more acute, about 75°) — beyond the fascia the apical 

 poition of the wing is almost entirely dark grey, with a few 

 blacker spots, interspersed with small whitish blotches along 

 the costa ; cilia grey, with the tips whitish, more conspi- 

 cuously so than in Gelechia Huhneri. 



Posterior wings rather dark grey, with the cilia of the 

 same colour (they are both darker and narrower than those 

 of Suhneri). 



Taken by Mr. Barrett, at Haslemere, on the trunks of 

 oaks and other trees, from the middle of July to the end of 

 August, and noticed by him (Entomologist's Monthly 

 Magazine, vol. 2, p. 43) as Gelechia, n. sp. 



This species is 'cery closely allied to Huhneri, but is 

 smaller, darker, with more markings, and the fascia is 

 whiter and less angulated. Whilst in Germany this autumn, 

 1 found the insect in several collections, under the name of 

 Junctella ; the German Entomologists having reputed it to be 

 the Junctella of Douglas. I also learnt that it had been 

 bred from larvae feeding on Stellaria holostea, along with 

 the larvae of Huhneri. 



At the request of the captor, I have named this insect after 

 my friend Dr. Knaggs, w^ho, some years ago, enriched all 

 our collections with Clostera anachoretaj and has since done
