Genera Depressaria, Sfc. 153 



rather paler than the surrounding portion ; before the commence- 

 ment of the cilia is a dark marginal line ; cilia at their origin 

 grey, at their termination greyish -rufous, darkest round the apex 

 of the wing. Posterior wings greyish, with dark marginal line 

 before the paler cilia. 



I have named this species after my friend Mr. Allis, who, at my 

 request, most readily forwarded to me his specimens to be de- 

 scribed. I mention this circumstance as some collectors have a 

 dislike to parting with their specimens, however much they may 

 be required for the furtherance of science ; such persons may 

 have fine collections, but can surely not expect to be considered 

 scientific entomologists. 



Three of Mr. Allis's specimens were taken in Yorkshire, near 

 Rotherham, in June or July, and another on the coast, near 

 Maryport, Cumberland.

Sp. 1. Custosa, Haw., St. 



Depunctella, Podev., Hiib. 378., Tr., D., Z. 



Yeatsann, St. ? 



Spartiana (Tortrix), Hiib. 199. 



Distinguished from the somewhat similar assimilella, by the 

 rufous cilia of the anterior wings. 



This species is common in July and August among furze-bushes.

Sparmanniana, F., St. 

 Flavella, Hiib. 97. 

 Flavosa, Haw. 



The larva of this species feeds on Centaurea jacea, in May. 

 The perfect insect appears in July. 



Sp. 3. Pallorella, Zeller. (Isis, 1839, S. 195.) 



Very closely allied to the preceding, but distinct. Instead of 

 the blotch near the anal angle, and the short streak towards the 

 base, near the inner margin of that species, these two marks are 

 here united into a continuous, rather stout line ; at the base, just 

 above the inner margin, is a distinct black spot, and in the apical 

 portion of the wing the nervures are much more distinctly marked. 



A scarce species ; hitherto perhaps much neglected from being 

 confounded with Uturclla. Mr. Weir took a specimen at Lewes,
