170 NEW BRITISH TINEIXA. 



now to identity the descriptions of Hawortli or Stephens 

 with either species), occurs on mossy walls, and often gets 

 into houses, the habit of the larva being precisely similar to 

 that of the larva of Domestica. Umhrosellay on the other 

 hand, occui's most plentifully on the sand-hills of the coast, 

 though it also occurs inland. My specimens were mostly 

 taken at Dawlish Warren, at the mouth of the Exe, about 

 the middle of May, 1854, but I took one specimen on the 

 heath at Weybridge, July 12th, 1851, (the day the Entomo- 

 logical Society made an excursion to that locality). 



Ajfinis has the anterior wings rather broader, darker and 

 without the glossy appearance we observe in Umhrosella. 

 Moreover the pale scales on the surface of the anterior wings 

 of Umhrosella are much whiter than those in Affifiis, which 

 are more yellowish. In L'mhroseUa we see towards the hind 

 margin two whitish spots, scarcely showing any tendency to 

 form a fascia, and if one be formed its angulation is extremely 

 slight. In Affinls these spots form a distinctly angulated 

 yelloivish fascia. 



Moreover the second joint of tlie palpi has a decided 

 ochreous tinire in Umhrosella, whereas in Affinis it is pale 

 grey. 



In the ninth volume of the Natural History of the Tineina, 

 I have given the history of Gelechia Affijiis, and described 

 and figured the larva. The lai-va of Gel. Umhrosellu has 

 yet to be discovered. 



Cemiostoma L-4lThyrifoliella, n. s. 



In the Ent. Annual for 1862, p. 139, under the heading 

 Cemiostoma Lotella, I remarked as follows : — 



Dr. Jordan met with a Cemiostoma larva early in 

 August, on the leaves of Lathyrus sylvestns, at Shaldon, 

 near Teignmouth. These appeared to me referable to C.
