Sp. 13. Caprella, nov. sp. (PI. XVH. fig. 9.) 



Parva ; alae anteriores gnseo-nifce, punctis duobus nigris obliqu^ 

 positis ante medium, et pone medium punctis duobus albis, 

 longitudinaliter positis. 



Allied to copreolella and purpurea ; larger than purpurea, less 

 rosy, without the conspicuous blotch of that species, with two 

 black spots placed obliquely to one another, and then two white 

 spots placed longitudinally ; smaller than capreolella, and the an- 

 terior wings less plain grey, more suffused with reddish. 



Expansion of the wings 6 lines. 



Head reddish grey. Face paler. Palpi pale grey, the terminal 

 joint somewhat ochreous, with a brownish spot on its inner side, 

 before the apex. Antennee fuscous. Thorax reddish-grey. Ab- 

 domen fuscous, with the anal tuft rather ochreous. Legs pale 

 ochreous. Tarsi reddish-grey, with the ends of the joints paler. 

 Anterior wings narrow, reddish-grey, with the shoulder pale, and 

 the costa also paler than the ground colour of the wing ; the two 

 black spots are placed obliquely as in purpurea, but have not the 

 pale blotch near them ; they are followed by two white spots as 

 purpurea, but the large black blotch towards the costa of that 

 species is here entirely wanting ; cilia reddish-grey, preceded by 

 a row of black dots. Posterior wings griseous, with paler cilia, in 

 which a darker line runs round the margin of the wing. 



For this species I am indebted to Mr. Weir, who took two near 

 Lewes, from thatch, in September, 1848; Mr. Maitland has also 

 taken the species at Ventnor.
