British Species of the Genus Gelechia of Zeller. 201 



Mann's specimen of dissonella is larger tlian any subocellea I 

 ever saw, and I think darker, nevertheless I believe it to be the 

 same species, but will not say decidedly without knowing more. 

 Judging from the description, the internella of Madame Lienig is 

 possibly the same as our insect, but not having seen it I cannot 

 say positively. These three moths require to be carefully com- 

 pared. 



Sp. 39. * Artemisiella, 



G. Artemisiella, Z. 



Lita Artemisiella, Tis., Tr., F. v. R. pi. 30, f. 2, 

 Dup. pi. 297, f. 8. 

 Expansion of wings, 5g lines. 



Head grey-brown ; palpi greyish, tips black ; antennae black. 

 Anterior wings deep brown, in which, with a lens, are seen red 

 streaks ; the inner edge is rusty-yellow, especially towards the 

 base. In the centre, towards the apex, extends a dark streak ; a 

 black dot at the extreme apex, and two or three others in the disc, 

 more or less visible. Posterior wings fuscous-grey, shining. 

 Body fuscous. 



Taken by Mr. Bedell on Epsom Downs, by myself on Stoat's- 

 nest Downs, and by Mr. Logan on Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh, in 

 June and July. 



Sp. 40. Instabilella. 



An. instabilella, Doug. Zool. p. 1270. 



I have attempted to describe this species in the Zoologist, but 

 it is one of those of which no good idea can be conveyed by any 

 diagnosis, so slight and so varying are its characters. It seems 

 to be allied to Artemisiella, and has like it a black dot at the apex 

 of the wing, a mark, by the way, which is one least subject to 

 variation in this species. 



Since I first took it on the salt-marshes in Essex it has been 

 found at the mouth of the Thames and in Ireland, and seems 

 quite a maritime species.
