Slalnlon beschreibt seine E. Nigrella folgendem! aassen : 



Alis anticis (c?) griscis, fascia fere recta albida obsoleta 

 ante medium, maculis duabus ante apicem oppositis, quarum apices 

 postice spectant, in fasciam conjunctis, apice rotundato, ciliis 

 griseis, circa apicem externe albidis ( $ aus anticis ad basim saturate 

 griseis, postice nigris, fascia maculisqiie albis distinctis, macula co- 

 stali non pone maculam dorsalem); capite griseo, fronte argenteo- 

 griseo, palpis dilute griseis. — 4'". 



Head grey. Face silvery-grey. Palpi pale grey. Antennae 

 fuscous. Anterior wings (of the c?) grey, with an indistinct nearly 

 straight withish fascia beforc the middle, and an angulated 

 fascia composed of two whitish opposite spots, with their apices 

 sloping posteriorly) towards the apex; a somewhat rounded dark 

 hin der marginal line runs through the grey cilia, which at the 

 apex are whitish. (In the 2 the anterior wings are dark grey at the 

 base, and beyond the first fascia black; the first fascia is whiter 

 and more distinct, and the opposite spots towards the apex are 

 much whiter and more distinct; the costal spot is scarcely 

 posterior to the dorsal spot.) Posterior wings grey, with paler 

 cilia. 



Not micommon in May and August; generally occurring near 

 hedges. The larva feeds in the upper part of a slight-growing 

 grass (perhaps Poa trivialisyl in April and July. 



Dazu findet sich in der „Synopsis" noch folgende Notiz: „The 

 larva, which is yellowish grey with a pale brown head, mines the 

 upper part of the leaves of Poa trivialis etc." 



Ich weiss diese Spezies weder als Imago noch als Raupe mit 

 einer der continentalen Arten sicher zu verbinden.

Herr Stainlon beschreibt diese mir in Natur unbekannte Spe- 

 zies folgendermaassen : 



„Alis anticis (S) nigrescentibus, fascia tenui ante medium, ma- 

 culis oppositis pone medium, aiJiceque ipso albidis, obsoletis ; ( 2 alis 

 anticis nigris, basim versus dilutioribus, fascia ante medium fere 

 recta, maculis oppositis distinctissimis, fasciam alteram rectam fere 

 formantibus). — S^o'"-
