the other on the fold of the wing ; apical cilia pale ochreous, 

 inner marginal cilia grey. 



Posterior wings broader than usual, and the point less prolonged, 

 shining grey, with yellowish grey cilia. 



In some specimens the violet gloss on the anterior wings is 

 entirely wanting. 



This species always occurs among grass, and is double-brooded, 

 appearing in May and August. I have taken it plentifully at 

 Lewisham, and on the Sanderstead Downs ; and once in Scotland. 



Sp. 13. Limosella (F. v. R.), Zeller.

 tibus, fuscis. 



Limosella, Zeller, Linn. Ent. ii. 341 ; Dup. S. iv. 488 (non 

 pi. 87, f. 11). 



Much smaller than Tringipennella, the costa not paler than the 

 rest of the wing, the spots less distinct, and towards the hinder 

 margin confluent. 



Expansion of the wings 4 — 4^ lines. 



Head and face greyish-yellow ; palpi yellowish, the terminal 

 joint with a broad fuscous ring ; antennae yellowish, with brown 

 annulations ; thorax greyish yellow ; abdomen grey, anal tuft 

 yellowish ; the four anterior legs have the femora and tibiae grey- 

 brown, tarsi whitish, the ends of the joints brown ; the posterior 

 legs have the femora grey, tibiae and tarsi dirty yellowish, the ends 

 of the joints darker. 



Anterior wings pale ochreous yellow, with three rows of faint 

 fuscous spots, one along the costa, one above the fold, and one 

 along the inner margin ; these become confluent towards the 

 hinder margin, the apex of the wing being almost entirely suffused 

 with fuscous ; apical cilia fuscous, inner marginal cilia yellowish 

 grey. 



Posterior wings shining grey, with grey cilia. 



Not yet detected in this country. 



It was first discovered by Herr Mann, in woods near Vienna, 

 in May and June ; he afterwards met with it at Leghorn and other 

 places in the North of Italy.
