In this obscure and little known genus it is difficult to ensure 

 accuracy it is indeed probable that the British species are not yet all 

 defined. Mr. C. W. Dale records, besides those in the above list, 

 serricornis (Proc. I., 62), triatomea and collitella (Lep. Dorset, p. 59), 

 the latter being, he informs me, a mistake for pollinariella. I think that 

 confirmation of the occurrence of the two former is desirable before 

 including them in the list
