tinental country in which it seems to be known is France, 

 and there far from commonly. 



6. r. tabulella, Bruaind ; sepium, Speyer, Stand. Cat. — 

 Expanse -^ inch. Male similar to that of F. hetuUna, but 

 with fore wings paler and more pointed. 



Antennae of moderate length — more than one-half the 

 length of the fore wings; regularly and distinctly pectinated, 

 the teeth being longer than in the last species ; blackish- 

 brown ; head, thorax, and abdomen brown. Fore wings 

 rather narrow at the base, broader behind, intermediate in 

 this respect between F. hctidina and F. salicolclla ; costa 

 rather straight and very slightly rolled back for the greater 

 part of its length ; apex rather bluntly pointed ; hind 

 margin distinctly rounded, and dorsal margin faintly curved ; 

 pale bronzy-grey, with the margin darker ; cilia also darker 

 grey ; nervures faintly visible, grey. Hind wrings more 

 pointed at the apex than in the other species, and with that 

 portion more produced and the hind margin but slightly 

 rounded ; rather roughly furnished with scales ; pale grey, 

 with the apex and cilia rather darker. Under side quite like 

 the upper ; legs and body grey-brown. Female very similar 

 to those of the allied species ; head a shining dark chestnut- 

 brovsrn mask, with very minute antennae, just visible, arising 

 from a couple of hollows ; on the second segment a large 

 dorsal shield extending down the sides, shining blackish- 

 brown ; two following segments with very narrow similar 

 shields ; body dull brown when dry, doubtless yellowish- 

 brown when alive ; anal tuft pale brown ; ovipositor very 

 long and conspicuous ; legs long and well formed, yellowish 

 brown. It sits upon the outside of the larva-case rather 

 curved, but not bent in the same degree as those of the 

 allied species, so that the ovipositor does not point down 

 perpendicularly near the feet, but outwards.
