This species may possibly prove to be identical with my G. 

 vicinella (p. 102), of which the specimens were not fine. 



It resembles in many respects G. distinctella, but it has narrower 

 and more distinctly maiked anterior wings, and narrower posterior 

 wings, with more acute apices. In size, and the triangular patch 

 on the anterior wings, it resembles G. costella and G. contigua, 

 but in other respects it does not agree. 



Sp. 97. Nigricoslella. 



*Lita nigricoslella (F. v. R.). D. (Supp. pi. 74, 9.) 



Expansion of wings 5 — b\ lines. 



Head and thorax concolorous with the anterior wings ; palpi 

 rather paler, the second joint fuscous outwardly and at the upper 

 end, the third joint with two broad fuscous rings, leaving the base, 

 middle and apex yellow ; antennae annulated brown and yellow. 

 Anterior wings egg-yellow on the disk, with a posterior outwardly- 

 curving fascia of the same colour ; the costa is broadly fuscous 

 as far as the fascia, beyond which the apex is also fuscous ; the 

 inferior margin has on it two fuscous marks, one long and narrow, 

 proceeding from the base, the other rounded and joining the yellow 

 fascia ; on the disk are three black dots ; the first small, near the 

 base, the second larger, before the middle, both on the inner 

 margin of the dark costal streak, and the third just touching the 

 rounded dark patch on the inner margin ; cilia ochreous, dusted 

 with fuscous. Posterior wings pale grey, the apices well defined. 



This pretty species, closely allied to G. dimidiella, was first 

 taken in this country by Mr. Edwin Shepherd, in Wicken Fen, 

 Cambridgeshire, at the end of June, 1851, flying at dusk. 



Sp. 98. Brizella. 



G. Brizella, Z. 



Lita Brizella (Tis.), Tr., D. 306, 5. 



Expansion of wings 6 lines. 



Head and thorax concolorous with anterior wings; the second 

 and third joints of the palpi annulated brown and white ; antennae 

 annulated brown and white. Anterior wings rich light brown, 

 merging gradually from the costa to the inner margin into ochre- 

 ous ; on the costa three equidistant longish silvery spots, sloping 

 towards the hinder margin, before the apex a curved silvery fascia, 

 broadest on the costa, and on the disk, beyond the middle, two 

 black dots, one before the other ; cilia brown. Posterior wings 

 and cilia fuscous.
