466 Prof. Zeller’s Descriptions of Crambina. 
Eruestia CAnIRiTELLA, n. sp. (Pl. XXIV. fig. 7.) 
Alis anterioribus angustis, cinereis, strigis duabus dilutis obso- 
letis, priore recta et exterius late nigricanti-marginata, 
punctis duobus venz transverse nigricantibus obsoletis ; 
posterioribus canescentibus, hyalinis, griseo-venosis. 9. 
Anterior wings narrow, grey, with two faint pale transverse 
lines, the first of which is straight and externally margined 
broadly with blackish; on the transverse vein are two faint 
blackish spots; posterior wings whitish-grey, transparent, with 
the veins dusky-grey. @. 
A dull obscure-looking insect of the size of the largest specimens 
of elutella, well distinguished in the genus by the first transverse 
line of the anterior wings, which is straight, almost perpendicular 
and externally margined broadly with blackish; the posterior 
wings are transparent, very pale grey, with the veins conspicuously 
dusky-grey. 
Two specimens from Cairo. 
EPHESTIA INTERPUNCTELLA, Hiibner. 
Hiibner, fig. 210; Heinemann, lid. cit., p. 202. 
One female from Alexandria. 
MELIssoBLAPTES BIPUNCTANUS, Zeller. 
Isis, 1818, p. 579; Heinemann, lib. cit. p. 205. 
The female (as in the specimens from Palestine, vide ante, p. 459), 
differs from ours by the first transverse line of the anterior wings 
being more distinct; but the difference is not such as to suggest 
the idea of a distinct species.
