the anterior wings, near the middle, of which Zeller makes not the 

 slightest mention. 



" Note. — I find that Haworth's floslactella, var. /3, wants the 

 black fascia above alluded to, and is probably therefore identical 

 with hemargyrella.

 duabus oppositis posticis pallidis ; capillis ferrugineis, con- 

 chula albida, antennis fuscescentibus." 



" The size of var. h and c of Ncpt, argyj-opeza, known by the 

 yellowish fascia, and the posterior opposite spots of the anterior 

 wings. The much smaller trimaailella' (he means cursoriella) 

 " wants the fascia, and has only a yellowish streak from the base 

 along the inner margin. Assimilella is likewise much smaller, 

 and has, instead of the fascia, a discoidal spot, which is almost 

 connected with the yellowish base. 



" The equally small rufella has, instead of the yellowish fascia, 

 near the basal third of the wing clear yellow ; but is especially 

 distinguished from all other species of Nepticttla by the red abdo- 

 men of the male." 



" Occurs in the neighbourhood of Berlin and Vienna. Many 

 specimens are taken on the trunks of trees in the Thiergarten at 

 Berlin. Near Vienna, Mann finds it on garden palings under 

 acacias, in the Prater on maple, first in May, then in July and 

 August. He took it also near Salviano in Tuscany on maple, at 

 the beginning of May." 



" This species is also closely allied to floslactella. Indeed 

 floslactella seems exactly intermediate between this and the pre- 

 ceding, having a dark fascia, which Hemargyrella wants, and 

 wanting the dark patch (between the yellow base and yellow me- 

 dial fascia) of sericopeza.
