British Species on the Genus Gelechia of Zeller. 21 



Sp. 60. Walkeriella. 



G. Walkeriella, mihi. 



Cleod. Cytisella, Curt., vol. 14, pi. 671 (non T. Cyti- 

 sella, Tis., Tr.) 

 Astyages Piccepennis, St. Mus. (non Haw.) 



Taken by Mr. Curtis, 18th July, on a hill at Glengariff, in 

 Ireland, and by Mr. F. Walker, in the Isle of Wight. 



The name Cytisella being previously occupied by Treitschke 

 for another species of Gelechia, I have had to give the present 

 species another name, and have called it in honour of one of its 

 early discoverers. 



V. On Elachista seratella, Zeller, and several Species with 

 which it is likely to be confounded. By H. T. Stainton, 

 Esq. 



[Read 5th November, 1849.] 



This species is briefly described by Zeller, in his catalogue of 

 Tineidce, in the Isis of 1839, and is there placed next to Festa- 

 liella, H. : it indeed bears a close resemblance to that species in 

 having a very perplexed synonymy ; and as a paper of mine on 

 the synonymy of E. Festaliella was considered of sufficient im- 

 portance to be published in the Society's Transactions, I have 

 thought that a like indulgence might be accorded to the present 

 paper, which includes several species which have perplexed many 

 of our Entomologists, but which I hope to be able to make suffi- 

 ciently clear and distinct, to enable any Entomologist of ordinary 

 capacities at once to separate. 



The species are (Ecophora fusco-cenea, Haw.; CScophora senes- 

 cens, Sta. ; (Ecophora fusco-cuprea, Haw. ; Gelechia tenebrella, 

 Tr. ; Gelechia tenebrosella, F. v. R. ; Elachista ceratella, Z.; Ela- 

 chista fusco-ciliella, Sta.; and Elachista modestella,D. 



All these species are destitute of markings on the anterior 

 wings, and in all, the colour of the anterior wings is more or less 

 of a greenish or brownish copper; it would thus appear, at first 

 sight, that it would be very difficult to distinguish them, but this 

 is by no means the case. The form of the posterior wings at 

 once separates the (Ecophorce from the Gelechice, and from the
