116) - Mr. J. Curtis on some nondescript or imperfectly 
consider that it is quite unnecessary to disturb a name by which 
it was so well known, to admit one proposed by Guené, who in 
a letter calls it delunella. It was no doubt negligent of Haworth 
to transcribe Linnzeus’s characters of his Tinea Resinella, which 
he did with 7s, but as there is no such Linnean insect as Tinea 
Resinea, no confusion can arise from retaining Haworth’s and 
Stephens’s name, by which it is identified in all our catalogues 
as well as by Wood’s figure 1448, and an appropriate name it is, 
as the moth is always found on the trunks of Conifer. 
28. 13. E. angustea, Curt. B. E. fol. 170, expands 7 lines. 
It is ashy-brown, the upper wings very narrow and gradually 
tapering to the base, towards which is an oblique broadish pale 
curved line, dark outside ; on the dise are a minute oval and the 
usual Q spots, but indistinct ; and beyond them a very oblique 
simuose pale narrow line well defined, the inner margin brown ; 
base of the cilia gray with a line of black dots : under-wings pale 
yellowish-fuscous. 
Wood’s figure 1450 is not my H. angustea, but merely a va- 
riety of LE. Mercurella. The only specimen I possess I caught 
in adamp cave at Tunbridge Wells the end of Aug. 1819, where 
I saw many more. 
29. 14. E. alpina, Dale’s MS. It expands 9 lines and may 
be only a large variety of the foregoing, but all the examples are 
paler, with an additional black oval spot below the minute one 
on the disc, and upon the under-wings is a pale transverse striga 
nearly parallel with the margin. 
Mr. Dale’s specimens were taken on Schichalion. 
Family Trneipa. 
30. Genus 1008. Depressaria, Haw.; Curt. Brit. Ent. fol. & 
pl. 221. 
20. D. bipunctosa, Curt. Guide. It expands 11 lines and is 
whitish-ochre, the spaces between the marginal nervures of the 
upper wings are slightly fuscous, and on the disc of each are two 
distinct black dots, forming a longitudinal curved line, with an- 
other at the base, and the apex of the costa and posterior margin 
bear ten black spots: the under-wings are pale fuscous : antenne 
and legs fuscous. - 
This is not a variety of Hibner’s 7. Verbascella, as I once 
suspected, and it certainly is not of any species I possess. It is 
the torm of D. liturella, W. V., but is smaller, and at once di- 
stinguished by the colour of the legs, the uniform tint of the 
upper wings, with the dotted costa and darker under-wings. The 
only specimen I have seen was taken in the New Forest by Sir 
Charles Lyell about twenty years since.
