Genera Depressaria, Sfc. 165 



internally pale ochreous, with a dark spot at the base, and another 

 before the apex. Antennae fuscous. Thorax pale ochreous-grey, 

 with the sides reddish-brown. Abdomen greyish, the anal tuft 

 ochreous. Legs, internally greyish-ochreous, externally reddish- 

 brown. Tarsi internally ochreous, with the bases of the joints 

 darker ; externally reddish-brown, with the ends of the joints 

 paler. Anterior wings reddish-brown, with a very pale dash at 

 the base of the inner margin ; scattered over the disk are nu- 

 merous black scales, which frequently form short streaks ; before 

 the middle is a short oblique black streak, sometimes followed 

 by a straight white one ; beyond the middle of the wing is a dis- 

 tinct white spot as in alhlpunclella ; and between this and the 

 hinder margin is a pale angulated fascia ; at the hinder margin is 

 a row of fuscous spots ; cilia pale reddish-brown. Posterior wings 

 pale grey, with paler cilia. 



This species is taken not very uncommonly at Sanderstead 

 Downs, in July, being beat out of the juniper bushes, which form 

 a sort of universal shelter for all the minute Lejndoptera that occur 

 on the Downs. 



The larva most probably feeds on some umbelliferous plant.

Alae anticae sordidae brunnese, numerosis atomis albis irroratas ; 

 obtusae ; caput thoraxque albida ; palporum articulus secun- 

 dus infra griseus. 



Closely allied to the preceding ; but the anterior wings are 

 less pointed at the apex ; the head and thorax are greyish-white 

 (nearly white), with no admixture of ochreous ; the second joint 

 of the palpi is underneath grey, not reddish-brown ; and the tarsi 

 are externally dark fuscous, with no admixture of reddish ; the 

 ends of the joints paler, as in pulcherrimella ; the colour of the 

 anterior wings is much darker, more fuscous than in pulcherrimella, 

 and with more numerous white atoms. 



Mr. Weir took a specimen of this in the south of England, and 

 Mr. Maitland has likewise taken it. 



Sp. 39. JVeirella, n. sp. (PI. XVII. fig. 5.) 



Alae anteriores rufo-brunneae, puncto fusco albido-cincto paul- 



lulum ante medium, punctis duobus parvis fuscis ab atomo 



albo separatis, pone medium ; palporum articulus terminalis 



pallide ochraceus, annulo fusco ante apicem. 



Larger than the two last; allied to alhlpunclella, but without the
