Sp. 6 1 . Mulinella.

" Alis anticis griseo-fuscescentibus, dorso obscuriore, vitta me- 

 dia obsoleta fusca, pustulis marginis postice subquatuor nigri- 

 cantibus." (Tis. MSS.) 



Head ashy-fuscous; palpi fuscous; antennae brown-black; thorax 

 darker than the head. Anterior wings greyish fuscous, darker in 

 the inner margin, with a dark, not well defined vitta in the centre, 

 and a few very small black dots on the posterior margin. Pos- 

 terior wings greyish-fuscous. 



This species is very like Ti. inlerruptella, H., but is held to 

 be distinct from it by the continental entomologists, who take 

 both. The most apparent difference is that the ground colour of 

 the wings of mulinella is darker, and the central vitta is less clearly 

 defined than in inlerruptella. 



Not scarce in July on furze bushes and broom ; from the latter 

 I have reared this species.

Expansion of wings 1\ lines. 



Head, palpi and thorax luteous ; antennae luteous, faintly an- 

 nulated with fuscous. Anterior wings luteous, the lower half 

 shaded with fuscous ; cilia luteous ; on the shoulder near the 

 costa is a very small dark dot ; another, larger, lies in the groove 

 before the middle, and a third opposite the anal angle half way 

 between the anterior and inferior margins. Posterior wings grey- 

 ish, with luteous cilia; body fuscous. Posterior legs and tarsi
