coxae and the base of the femora whitish, the apex of the femora 

 black-brown, tibiae and tarsi dirty whitish, on the upper side 

 and the ends of the joints of the tarsi tinted with brownish. 



Anterior wings rather short, rust-red, towards the apex darker, 

 and with faint purple gloss. Either there are no further mark- 

 ings, or there are brown spots between the inner margin and the 

 fold of the wing, or there are some spots on the costa. One 

 specimen has only a large spot in the middle of the wing above 

 the fold, and another towards the apex of the wing. Apical cilia 

 paler than the apex, inner marginal cilia grey." 



" Posterior wings shining grey, with dull grey cilia." 



" The larva has been accurately described by F. v. R., in 

 Treitschke's work. It feeds on Acer pseudo-platanus (or pla- 

 tanoides), in conically rolled up ends of leaves in June. The 

 perfect insect appears in July. It occurs in Bohemia and in 

 Bavaria." 



The above description is copied from Zeller. 



This species has not yet been detected in this country, the 

 insect in most British collections under this name is Zelleria He- 

 pariella, which has a rough head, no maxillary palpi, short thick 

 drooping labial palpi, and much broader posterior wings.

Readily distinguished from all its allies, except Limosella ; but 

 this latter is smaller, entirely yellowish, without any white along 

 the costal half of the wing, and the black spots towards the hinder 

 margin are confluent. 



Expansion of the anterior wings 6g lines. 



Head and face pale yellowish grey ; palpi whitish grey, the 

 terminal joint brown, with a whitish apex ; antennas pale, with dark 

 brown ambulations ; thorax yellowish grey ; abdomen grey, above 

 and beneath, anal tuft yellowish ; the four anterior legs have the 

 femora and tibiae of a brown-black, the tarsi shining whitish, the 

 ends of the joints faintly brownish ; the hind legs have the femora 

 grey-brown, paler at the base, tibiae and tarsi dirty greyish-white, 

 darker towards the ends of the joints. 



Anterior wings whitish, with a slight violet gloss ; along the 

 inner and hinder margins yellowish-ochre, with numerous scattered 

 black scales, and two rows of black spots, one just below the costa,
