166 Mr. H. T. Stainton on the Species of the 



white spot on the anterior wings, in place of which two very small, 

 pale fuscous spots are visible ; the pale fascia is more angulated, 

 resembling that of pulcherritnella ; the row of black spots is less 

 distinct than in albipunctella ; posterior wings paler. 



Expansion of the wings 7| lines. 



Head greyish-brown. Face rather paler. Palpi ; secondjoint 

 pale ochreons above, greyish-brown beneath ; terminal joint pale 

 ochreoHS, with a single fuscous ring before the apex. Antennae 

 fuscous. Thorax greyish-brown ; the sides dark reddish-brown. 

 Abdomen greyish, with the anal tuft ochreous. Legs externally 

 reddish-brown, internally pale ochreous. Tarsi dark fuscous, 

 with the ends of the joints paler. Anterior wings dark reddish- 

 brown ; a little before the middle is a fuscous spot surrounded by 

 whitish ; and a little beyond the middle are two small fuscous 

 spots separated by a white atom ; before the hinder margin is a 

 very faint, pale angulated fascia ; and on the hinder margin are a 

 few fuscous spots ; cilia pale reddish-brown. Posterior wings 

 whitish-grey, with paler cilia. 



Mr. Weir has two specimens, taken in Sussex, probably at 

 sugar, near Brighton. 



Sp. 40. Chcerophylli, Z. (Isis, 1839, S. 196.) 

 Badia, Haw. 

 Badiella, St. 

 Heracleana, F. ? 



Zeller states that he has bred this insect in plenty from larvae 

 found on Chcjerop/iyllum hulbosum. I have taken several of this in 

 July and August at sugar. 



Its larger size, and the ochreous basal patch on the costa, rea- 

 dily distinguish it from the following. 



Sp. 41. Ultimella, n. sp. (PI. XVII. fig. 6.) 



Alae anticae angustee, striis numerosis atris, posteriore fascia 



pallida acute angulata ; punctis duobus albis fusco-cinctis in 



medio. 



Allied to chcerophylli, but smaller, and the pale fascia more 



angulated ; also destitute of the ochreous shoulder of chcerophylli, 



with the central portion of the wing marked as in nervosa, from 



which species this is distinguished by its size, and much narrower 



anterior wings. 



Expansion of the wings 7^ lines.
