British Species of the Genus Gelechia of Zeller. 65 



beyond the middle, not easily seen. Posterior wings and body 

 dark fuscous. 



This species must be closely allied to G. subsequella, F. v. R., 

 and G. Temerella, Lienig, but from both of which it essentially 

 differs, in being entirely without a spot of any colour. 



In the collection of Mr. Edleston, and reared in July by Mr. 

 Gregson, from larvae found by him on sallows at New Brighton, 

 Cheshire. 



Sp. 73. Inornatella, mihi. 



Alee anticae luteae, atomis fusco-griseis irroratae, punctis tribus 

 atris, quorum duo ante, tertiamque pone medium, plagaque 

 obliqua apicali fused. Alae posticae griseae. 



Expansion of wings, 7 lines. 



Head and palpi luteous; antennae luteous, annulated with fus- 

 cous. Anterior wings luteous, dusted throughout with griseous 

 atoms, on the disc are three black spots, each surrounded by a pale 

 ring, of which the first is in the groove, the second above it, both 

 before the middle, and the third in a line with the second beyond 

 the middle ; from the apex a fuscous dash stretches obliquely 

 towards the centre, and a few dark dots are on the posterior 

 margin. Posterior wings griseous.

Alae anticae ochraceae, punctis tribus medio atris, puncto minimo 

 versus basin, alteroque majori margine inferiori, lined curvi 

 costae bis connexa, fascid obliqua ad angulum posticum, alte-

Expansion of wings b\ lines. 



Head and thorax deep ochreous ; palpi lighter; antennae ferru- 

 ginous. Anterior wings deep ochreous, with three black central 

 spots, a small spot near the base, and one on the inner margin, 

 ferruginous ; above this last, on the costa, commences a thick 

 lunate line of the same colour, which extends to beyond the mid- 

 dle, where it again joins the costa, leaving the clear ground colour 

 within the curve ; joined to its outer end a fascia stretches 

 obliquely to the anal angle, where it is met by a thick, still darker 

 fascia going along but not touching the posterior margin, between
