3. P. fusco-enea, Haw., is twice as large as the foregoing spe- 
cies. I have met with it the middle of August on the Downs 
near Lulworth, and also at Mickleham. 
37. Genus 1023. Microsetia, Step. 
4. M. sericiella, Haw. I found this little moth in abundance 
on the flowers of Euphorbia amygdaloides in Grovely Wood, near 
Wilton, the 9th May 1842. 
Genus 1025. Argyromyges, Curt. Brit. Ent. fol. 284. 
38. 1. A. Autumnella, Curt. B. E. pl. 284. This species is 
now decided to be the T. Clerckella of Linneus, and the 4. 
Clerckella of our cabinets is called scztella. 
39. 1>. A. Acerfoliella, Curt. ; Padifoliella, Stain. The male 
expands 4 lines, and the antennz are longer than the wings: it is 
sickly-white, superior wings very narrow, falcate, fuscous with a 
pure white stripe along the interior margin, surrounding a long 
oblique curved line at the anal angle; the apex attenuated, in- 
curved, spotted black and white with a very black dot at the tip: 
inferior wings very narrow, smoky as well as the long cilia. The 
Female is near 5 lines in expanse, fuscous ; head and thorax white : 
superior wings very narrow, less falcate than in the male and 
terminating like a feather, rich brown, the interior margin pure 
white with the imner edge irregular, forming a square near the 
base, an oblique lobe at the middle, and a loop at the anal angle, 
inclosing a brown spot; the cilia of the apex is white with black 
crescents on the extremity of the costa and round the tip, where 
there is a black dot ; inferior wings very narrow and taperimg to 
a point. 
For a pair of this rarity I am indebted to Mr. T. Desvignes, 
who took several in September and October flying out of maples 
and whitethorns in Whittlebury Forest. The sexes seem to vary 
considerably, but neither of them agrees with Hiibner’s figure of 
T. Padtfoliella, p\. 46. £.316, im which the costa is white and the 
interior margin spotted dark, whereas in our species it is exactly 
the reverse. 
40. 16. A. hortella, Fab., 1 took in a plantation near Wands- 
worth the 19th of May. 
41. 21. A. Cydoniella, Step., is the lautella of Heyden. I 
found a beautiful specimen in Muller’sCopse at Glanville’s Woot- 
ton the 18th May 1842, 
42. 6>. A. maritima, Stain. MS. The 26th of August, 1836, 
I first discovered this species on the banks of the river by St. 
Vincent’s Rocks. It was tolerably plentiful. 
43. 7. A. obscurella, Step. Ill. iv. 259. This insect occurs
