320 Mr. H. T. Stainton's Synopsis 



The perfect insect appears in April and May, and is abundant 

 throughout England and Scotland ; and occurs on the shores of 

 the Mediterranean, in Tuscany and Croatia. 



62. Elachisla Rudeclella, Fischer. 



Not very closely allied to any other species ; the darker grey- 

 brown colour of the scattered scales at once distinguishes it from 

 Rvfacinerea, and in sharply marked specimens we see clearly a pale 

 angulated fascia before the middle, and indistinctly a pair of pale 

 spots beyond tlie middle. 



Expansion of the wings 4 — \\ lines. Head whitish ; anterior 

 wings white, with numerous scattered dark greyish-brown scales, 

 sometimes leaving a rather distinct angulated white fascia before 

 the middle, and a faint indication of a white spot at the anal 

 angle, and another beyond it on the costa ; in the whitish cilia is 

 a blackish hinder-marginal line. 



Larva unknown. 



The perfect insect appears from May to July ; it occurs at 

 Ratisbon and Vienna. 



63. Eltchiula Constihlla, Zeller. 



The almost entire absence of dark scales on the wings readily 

 distinguishes this from the preceding, whereas the occurrence of 

 a few dark scales, and the whiter cilia, serve to separate it from 

 Anserintlla. 



Expansion of the wings 4 — 4^ lines. Head white ; anterior 

 wings white, faintly clouded with pale ochreous, with a few 

 scattered dark scales towards the hind margin ; cilia white, inter- 

 sected by a pale grey hinder marginal line ; posterior wings pale 

 grey, with pale v\hitish-grey cilia. 



Larva unknown. 



The perfect insect appears in April and May ; it has occurred 

 at Fiume, in Croatia. 



64. Elachisla Tr'iseriatclla, Stainton. 



This has some resemblance to Dispiinclella, but wants the two 

 larger black spots of that species. 



Expansion of the wings 3^ lines. Head white ; anterior wings 



white, witli three rows of black scales on the disc; cilia whitish. 



Larva unknown. 



The perfect insect appears at the end of June ; it occurs near 

 Bristol and in North Wales, also at Howth, in Ireland.
