which and the dark cilia an ochreous line is perceptible. Poste- 

 rior wings griseous. 



Taken at Charlton, in July and August.

" It expands five lines and is white ; scales on head depressed ; 

 palpi recurved, scaly to the apex ; superior wings narrow, lanceo- 

 late, ochreous and freckled ; costa, a line along the middle, with 

 the radiating nervures and inferior margin white, and sometimes 

 there is an oblique white stripe near the inner angle directed to- 

 wards the tip ; cilia long, pale, and dotted at the base ; inferior 

 wings silky, dove-colour, nearly as broad as the superior, trun- 

 cated at the extremity, the apex produced ; cilia long and thick ; 

 hinder -tibiae stout, with hairy scales. 



" Very like A. rufo-cinerea, Haw., at first sight, but besides other 

 differences, the under wings are not lanceolate, which indicates an 

 affinity to Cleodora. I bred two from flowers of Inula dysenterica, 

 the 28th of August, 1848, collected near Ryde in the Isle of Wight, 

 and no doubt the caterpillars fed upon the seeds in the recep- 

 tacles." — Curtis, loc. cit. 



Sp. 76. Bifractella. 



G. bifractella, Mann. (MS.) 



Caput testaceum, palpi ochraceae. Alae anticae brunneo-nigrae, 

 maculis duabus posticis oblique oppositis fere confluentibus, 

 fulvis. Alee posticae nigrae. 



Expansion of wings 5 — 6 lines. 



Head testaceous; face and palpi paler ; antennae black. Ante- 

 rior wings brown-black, with two nearly opposite fulvous spots, 

 one on either margin towards the apex, generally connected by a 

 curved line. Viewed with a lens these wings are dusted with 

 griseous atoms. Posterior wings black. Posterior tarsi black, 

 annulated with white.* 



* In July and August this year I reared this species, and also G. inopella pre- 

 ceding, from the dry receptacles of the flowers of biula dysenterica, gathered last 

 winter at Folkestone.— J. W. D. 6th Sept. 1850.
