Genera Depressaria, &ic. 167 



Head reddish-ochreous. Face pale ochreous. Palpi, second 

 joint, pale ochreous above, beneath reddish-brown ; terminal joint 

 pale ochreous internally, with a dark fuscous spot before the 

 apex, externally rather dark, with the dark spot before the apex, 

 the apex itself pale. Antennae fuscous. Thorax pale reddish- 

 ochreous. Abdomen griseous, anal tuft pale ochreous. Legs 

 pale ochreous internally, externally darker. Tarsi pale ochreous 

 internally, externally reddish-brown, with the ends of the joints 

 paler. Anterior wings dull reddish-brown, with numerous short 

 longitudinal black streaks, which are thickest on the costal half of 

 the wing ; a little before the hinder margin these form the outer 

 edge of an extremely angulated fascia, beyond which the apical 

 portion of the wing is entirely fuscous ; a little before the middle 

 ofthewingis a black spot margined with whitish, and imme- 

 diately beyond it is another likewise margined with whitish ; cilia 

 pale reddish-brown. Posterior wings grey, with paler cilia. 



Taken by Mr. Weir near Lewes, in September, 1848, by beat- 

 ing thatch. 



This may perhaps be the ap'iosa of Haworth. I know no other 

 that will at all answer his description of " puncto exacte in medio, 

 mmutissimo, niveo, fusco-cincto."

Daticella, Z. (Isis, 1839, S. 196), Tr. ? W. V.? 



Recognized at once by the extremely angulated fascia of the 

 anterior wings, and its concolorous glossy appearance. 



Taken in plenty by Mr. Weir this autumn from thatch, in the 

 neighbourhood of Lewes : Mr. E. Shepherd also took the insect 

 at Weybridge. 



This must be the daucella of Zeller, from the character of the 

 fascia, yet he gives apiella, Kiibner, as a synonyme, which is a 

 much darker insect, and appears to me identical with hadiella. 



-\ Sp. 43. Emeritella, Heyden, (Mann's Cat.) 



This very distinct species has not yet, I believe, been de- 

 scribed. It has some resemblance to albipiinctella, but is much 

 larger, and the head, palpi, and centre of the thorax, are bright 

 ochreous yellow. 



There are specimens of it in the British Museum.
