British Species of Genus Gelechia of Zeller. 63 



Sp. 67. Vorticella. 



G. vorticella, Z. 



Ti. vorticella, Scop. ? 



Expansion of wings, 5 J lines. 



Anterior wings black, with a snow-white fascia just beyond the 

 middle, curving slightly inwards, opposite to which, on the under 

 side, is a white costal spot. Posterior wings fuscous black. 



Exceedingly like ligulella; but it differs in being smaller, 

 blacker, the fascia curving slightly from, not to, the anal angle, 

 and the spot underneath being white, not yellowish. I have long 

 doubted if these species were distinct, but I now believe they are 

 so. Herr Zeller informs me that he rears plenty of vorticella 

 from the larvae found on Genista tincloria, but not one ligulella 

 among them, nor does he even take the latter near Glogau. I 

 would advise any one who has the two species to place them and 

 also tceniolella side by side, when the difference will be more ap- 

 parent. From tceniolella, vorticella is at once separated by the 

 want of the fascia on the underside, and from ligulella by its 

 smaller size, darker colour and whiter spot underneath. 



In Mr. Stephens's cabinet, and found by Mr. Weir in Sussex. 



Sp. 68. Coronillella. 



G. Coronillella, Z. 



Lita Coronillella (Tis.) Tr. 



Expansion of wings, 6 lines. 



Anterior wings black, with a small yellow costal spot, and 

 another, very small, opposite to it in the anal angle. Posterior 

 wings fuscous, very broad, with the apex long, acute, and very 

 abruptly produced. Body and posterior legs fuscous. 



I took this species on the 30th May, by sweeping in the hilly 

 field in Headly Lane, Mickleham. 



Sp. 69. Hiibneri. 



Re. Hiibneri, Haw. (non Ti. granella, H.) 

 An. Hiibneri, St., Wood, 1211. 



Expansion of wings, 5| lines. 



Head white j palpi white, terminal joint black; antennae annu- 

 lated, black and white; thorax ashy white. Anterior wings ashy 

 white, with two cloudy fasciae, in which are some black marks, 

 one of the most conspicuous being in the first fascia on the costa;
