•' Alls anterioribus nitidulis, albido-griseis, obscurius grosse 

 squamatis ; posterioribus griseo-ciliatis." 



" Distinguished from the larger preceding species by its dirty 

 grey but rather shining colour ; from Buccul. cr'istatella by the 

 lighter-coloured, coarsely-scaled anterior wings," " the possession 

 of a tongue and a quite different neuration of the wings." 



" This is abundant near Reichstadt, in Bohemia, on oaks, in 

 July (F. R.). I took it once at Glogau, towards sunset, on the 

 8th of June, in a birch wood on Spartium scoparium, in company 

 with Anarsia sparllella and Cemiostoma spart'ifoliella. Mann ob- 

 tained some specimens from Spartium, in Tuscany, among the 

 Apennines, near Pratovecchio." 



This insect is in several cabinets as the pulverella of Bentley, 

 but I believe has never been described ; Bentley's name will 

 therefore sink and Zeller's be retained. Zeller first described 

 this in the Isis, 1839. 



Zeller's genus Tischer'ta contains five species, two of which 

 only are known to us, and form part of the genus Aphelosetia of 

 Stephens. 



" Sp. 1. Comjolanella, Hiibn." Linn. Ent. vol. 3, p. 335. 

 Vol. ii. pi. 2, figs. 53—57. 

 This is the riifipenn'is of Haworth, the rufipennella of Stephens, 

 and abounds on oaks in May and June. 



Haworth, however, gives unhesitatingly as a synonyme Tinea 

 rufipennella, Hiib., which is aGracillaria! and in Stephens' descrip- 

 tion is an important error ; instead of "apex palest" it should be 

 " apex darkest," as indeed the Latin diagnosis shows : the fulve- 

 scens of Stephens (Illust. 4, 289) is also this species. 



" Sp. 2. Ricciardella, Costa." Linn. Ent. vol. 3, p. 337. 

 Zeller merely alludes to Costa's figure and description of this 

 insect (Faun. Neapol. Tin. p. 16, No, 14, tab. 3, fig. 7), which do 

 not agree with one another. Zeller had not, I believe, ever seen 

 the species. 



«' Sp. 3. Emyella, Dup." Linn. Ent. vol. 3, p. 338. 

 Undoubtedly the Recurvaria marginea of Haworth, the A phelo- 

 setia marginea of Stephens ; neither of these authors, however, 

 make any allusion to the dark spot at the anal angle of the ante- 

 rior wings. This species is common here in May among oaks, 

 but seems to occur in Germany only very rarely.
