Ornix Meleagripennella and its Allies. 91 



apex is produced towards the apex of the wing, and there meets 

 the hinder marginal white line, forming with it an acute angle 

 (hence the name) ; on the fold of the wing are two dark spots, 

 one before the middle, the other a little beyond ; at the apex of 

 the wing is a dark ocellus-like spot; cilia whitish, with two com- 

 plete curved dark lines from the apex to the inner margin. 



Posterior wings five times as broad as long, blunter than in the 

 two preceding species, grey, with paler cilia. 



Of this species I have not yet seen a British specimen ; the 

 specimen I have described was sent me by Herr .Zeller, who 

 states in the Zeitung that the species occurs " in a small garden 

 at Breslau, not scarce on orchard trees." 



Sp. 4. Finilimella, Zeller. 



" Minor, alis anticis fusco-cinereis, glaucescentibus, costa 

 albido-strigulata, ciliis apicis obtusis externe fuscocinctis, 

 epistomio fuscescenti, palpis albidis, annulo articuli ultimi 

 lato fusco." Ent. Ztg. 1850, p. 162. 



" Even smaller than Meleagripennella ; its anterior wings are 

 darker, with the violet gloss of Torquillella, and with smaller, 

 fainter costal streaks ; the cilia of the apex of the wing have the 

 complete brown double encompassing-line as in Torquillella; face 

 brownish-grey ; the whitish palpi have the terminal joint encom- 

 passed at the base with a broad black-brown ring, interrupted on 

 the upper side." Z. 1. c. 



I have never yet seen a British specimen of this insect, and 

 having only a bad foreign specimen, unfit for description, I have 

 been obliged to copy Zeller's description in the Entomologische 

 Zeitung, in order to make this memoir as complete as possible. 

 Zeller says it occurs " at Glogau (a fine male on the 25th July) 

 and at Jena." 



Sp. 5. Loganella, Stainton. 



Alis anticis atris, dorso maculis duabus albis, costa albo- 



strigulata, ciliis fuscis. 

 Loganella, Stainton, Zoologist, 1848, p. 2162.* 

 Not likely to be confounded with any of its congeners. 



* The figure there shown, PI. 3, f. 37, is very bad, and hardly gives an idea of 

 the insect.
