Closely allied to G. terrella, of which, indeed, it might pass for 

 a variety, only that the female differs so conspicuously. 



Found rather common in June, 1846, among heather, at the 

 foot of Skiddaw, by Mr. Stainton. 



Sp. 93. Cvneatella. 



Lita citneatella, F. v. R. (MSS.) Z. (in litt.) 

 Alae anticae fusco-griseae, vitta longa centrali albido inter- 

 rupta, punctis duobus costalibus, et infra apicem fascia acute 

 angulata, nigris. Alae posticae griseo-fuscae. 

 Expansion of wings 7 lines. 



Head and thorax concolorous with anterior wings, palpi cine- 

 reous, terminal joint black ; antennae fuscous. Anterior wings 

 brownish grey, in the centre a long black dash, interrupted about 

 the middle by a whitish oval spot, opposite to which, on the costa, 

 is a small black spot, and another similar costal spot lies beyond 

 the termination of the central dash ; within the apex, and not 

 touching its margin, a row of contiguous black dots forms an 

 acutely-angled fascia, which in some lights appears a wedge-shaped 

 mark ; round the apex are some black dots. Posterior wings 

 grey fuscous, the cilia in certain lights with a brownish tinge. 

 Abdomen grey brown, the basal segments ferruginous. Posterior 

 legs clothed with ochreous hairs, the tarsi fuscous, lightly annu- 

 lated with ochreous. 



A single specimen, which Herr Zeller has seen and pronounces 

 to be this species, was taken by Mr. Bedell in London, in a house 

 in Great Tower Street, into which it had probably been brought 

 in the larva or pupa state. Herr Zeller observes the wedge- 

 shaped mark varies in different specimens. 



Sp. 94. Acuminatella. 



G. acuminatella, Sircom, (Zoologist, 1850, App. lxxii.) 

 G. Cirsiella (Doug.), Sta. (Cat. Supp. 4.) 

 Alae anticae acuminatae, murinae, fascia indistincta postica angu- 

 lata. Alae posticae cinereae. 

 " Exp. g inch. Anterior wings ashy brown, acutely terminated, 

 with a very indistinct angulated fascia towards the apex ; poste- 

 rior wings and cilia ashy ; head and palpi rather paler ; antennae 

 dark brown ; hind legs ashy, with dark spots." 



" July 28th, Brislington, two specimens." Sircom, 1. c. 

 I would add to Mr. Sircom's description, that the ground colour 

 of the anterior wings is ochreous, more or less covered with
