124 Mr. H. T. Stainton's Remarks on Extracts 



" Sp. 2. Zanclceella, Z." Linn. Ent. vol. 3, p. 277. 



" This species is considerably smaller than the preceding, and 

 easily distinguished from it by the want of the yellow costal streak 

 beyond the middle of the anterior wings. 



" Oi Zanclceella (placed, in my descriptions of Italian species, as 

 an Opostega without a name) T took two specimens near Messina 

 in March and April, which I took for our spartlfoliella. The 

 place in which I beat them from the bushes of Arbutus unedo and 

 Cytisus triflorus, contains, as far as I recollect, no Spartium jun- 

 ceum. Probably this scarce species feeds on the Cytisus." 



" Sp. 3. Scitella, Metzn." Linn. Ent. vol. 3, p. 278. 

 This species, the Clerckella of Stephens, is described by me 

 under the name oi scitella, in the Zoologist, p. 2157. 



In Zeller's genus Opostega (as now restricted), he has four spe- 

 cies, of which two are known to us. 



" Sp. 1. Salaciella, Tischer." Linn. Ent. vol. 3, p. 280. 

 Vol. 2, pi. 2, f. 42, 43. 



This species is briefly described by me in the Zoologist, p. 

 2081, in a note. It is the cygnipennella of Mr. Bentley's and 

 many other cabinets. 



" This is easily recognized in this genus by the spotless, snow- 

 white anterior wings. It would be most readily confounded with 

 the $ Elach. cygnipennella, which, being generally smaller than 

 its $, comes very near to salaciella in size; but the quite simple 

 antennae of cygnijiennella, not being provided with an enlarged 

 joint at the base, readily distinguish it." 



" Salaciella, discovered near Dresden by Tischer, is very 

 scarce near Nixdorf, in Bohemia, and also occurs, according to 

 Treitschke, near Vienna ; and, according to Herrich Schaffer, near 

 Ratisbon." 



" Sp. 2. Reliquella, Z." Linn. Ent, vol. 3, p. 282. 



" Hitherto I had considered a single female as a variety of 

 crepusculella, in which the spot at the apex of the wing was 

 wanting ; however, the streaks in the middle of the costa and 

 inner margin are also wanting, and the yellowish transverse streak 

 at the apex is nearly straight. Besides, I have since obtained a 

 male similarly marked, so that I can no longer doubt its being a 

 distinct species. Crepusculella and auritella are easily recog-
