British Species of the Genus Gelechia of Zeller. 17 



Sp. 49. Affinis. 



Re. affinis, Haw. 



An. affinis, St. 



An. diffinis, Wood, 1205. 



G. umbrosella, 7i. 



Expansion of wings, 4 — 5| lines. 



Head and antennae fuscous-black; palpi, second joint ashy, 

 terminal joint black, fully as long or longer than the second. 

 Anterior wings fuscous black, with four black spots, of which 

 the first is faint (sometimes wanting), and is placed at the base of 

 the groove ; the second is in the groove, and the other two are in 

 a line above and beyond. To the outside of the second and third 

 is joined a white spot; and beyond all these is a curved whitish 

 fascia. Posterior wings and ciliae fuscous. 



The Entomological Society has Haworth's specimen. 



In a note to me, Herr Zeller says of this species, " certissime 

 mea umbrosella." 



Taken on the sand-hills at New Brighton, and the Chesil-bank, 

 Weymouth ; also near London, in July. 



Sp. 50. Anthyllidella. 



*G. Anthyllidella, Z. 

 Ti. Anthyllidella, H., 330. 



Expansion of wings, 5 — 6 lines. 



Anterior wings shining, black, with a small yellow spot on the 

 costa towards the apex, and another still smaller nearly in the 

 centre of the wing. Zeller says this last spot is wanting in all his 

 specimens. But it is distinctly visible when the insect is in fine 

 condition, especially when alive; and is represented in Hubner's 

 figure. Zeller says the larva feeds on Anthyllis vidneraria. This 

 species is in some cabinets as atrella. 



Sp. 51. Atrella. 



Ti. atrella, Haw. (non H.) 



Expansion of the wings, 6| lines. 



Head, thorax and antennae brownish black ; palpi ashy white. 

 Anterior wings shining brownish black, with a conspicuous orange 

 spot on the costa towards the apex, and another nearly opposite 

 on the inferior margin, nearer to the base. Posterior wings 

 fuscous.
