Genera Depressaria, Ssc. 161 



dusted with fuscous, appears paler than the rest of the wing ; on 

 the hinder margin itself is a row of fuscous spots ; cilia of the 

 colour of the wings, frequently more rufescent at the apex. Pos- 

 terior wings pale griseous, darker at the apex, with pale yellow- 

 ish-white cilia. 



Taken in the summer of 1847, at West Wickham, by Messrs. 

 Bedell and Douglas, who beat it out of old thatch, sparingly. 



I should have been inclined to think this the continental late- 

 rella, were it not that I have before me a specimen of that insect, 

 obtained by Mr. H* Doubleday from the continent, which agrees 

 precisely with Hiibner's fig. 417 {which Zeller says is very good), 

 and is a very different insect from our species. 



Sp. 25. Jpplana, (Pyr.) F., Haw., St., Z. 

 Applmiella, (Tin.) F., F. v. R. 

 Cicutella, Hiib. 79, 419, Tr., D., Ev. 



The most abundant species in the genus ; the hybernated spe- 

 cimens are exceedingly abundant in the first warm evenings of 

 spring. 



The larva feeds on various umbelliferous plants, Cicuta virosa, 

 Heracleum sphondylium, &c., in May and June. 



Sp. 26. CiLiella, n. sp. (PI. XVII. fig. 7.) 



Major ; alse anteriores rufse, maculis duabus albis, nigro-cinc- 

 tis, oblique positis ante medium ; et maculis duabus albis 

 longitudinaliter positis pone medium ; alae posteriores ciliis 

 rufo-variegatis. 



Somewhat resembling applana, but much larger ; the anterior 

 wings generally more uniform in colour, with four white spots ; 

 the two first placed obliquely and preceded by black margins, the 

 two others placed longitudinally ; the cilia of the posterior wings, 

 instead of being plain, as in applana, are marbled with rufous. 



Expansion of the wings, 10 — 11 lines. 



Head dark reddish- brown. Face ochreous grey. Palpi, se- 

 cond joint, reddish-brown ; internally pale ochreous ; last joint 

 reddish-ochreous, with two dark fuscous rings, one at the base, 

 the other before the apex, extreme apex fuscous. Antennae 

 reddish-brown. Thorax reddish-brown, more or less dark, ac- 

 cording to the colour of the anterior wings. Abdomen grey. 

 Legs externally reddish-brown, internally pale ochreous. Tarsi 

 externally reddish-brown, with the ends of the joints paler, inter- 

 nally ochreous, with the base of the joints darker. Anterior
