JElachista ceratella. 23 



The CEc. seliniella of Zeller, which I had imagined this to be, is 

 much larger, nearly as large as CEc. fusco-cenea, but has broader 

 anterior wings, and much broader posterior wings. (I have two 

 specimens sent me by Herr Zeller.) My specimen of senescens 

 still remains unique.

Differs from fusco-cenea in being smaller and much browner, 

 and the anterior wings rather broader in proportion to its size ; 

 differs from senescens (which it resembles in size) in not having 

 any white scales on the disk of the anterior wings. 



Haworth's description — " Alis anticis fusco-cupreis, immacu- 

 latis. Praacedenti (fusco-eenea) nimis affmis at minor, alis latio- 

 ribus ratione magnitudinis ; posticis fuscis nitidis. Exp. alarum 

 5 3 lin." — very well identifies this species. The female of this 

 species has a large oval white spot on the under side of the abdo- 

 men. 



Not scarce with Mr. Sircom on Durdham Downs. I have 

 taken it on the downs at Mickleham, in July. The two specimens 

 mentioned by Mr. Stephens, as having been taken by him at 

 Ripley, in June, 1827, are not this species ; they are Gelechia 

 tenebrosella. 



We now come to the two species of Gelechia, tenebrella and 

 tenebrosella. These are at once distinguished from the (Ecophorce 

 and Elachistce by their ti-apezoidal posterior wings (see PI. III. 

 fig. 21), and by their longer recurved palpi.

At once distinguished from G. tenebrosella by the unicolorous 

 antennae. The typical insect has the anterior wings coppery-
