JANUARY, 1860. 95 



brown and gray intermixed. Antennae dark brown, faintly 

 ammlated with whitish. Fore-wings dark brown, with a 

 purplish hue. Along the inner margin, from the base to the 

 anal angle, whitish, dusted with dark brownish. In the fold 

 at the base is a dark brown streak, and a small blotch of the 

 same hue beyond the middle, nearly reaching to the inner 

 margin. Toward the tip are a few whitish, costal streaks, 

 and at the apex a small, round, dark-brown spot, in a whitish 

 patch, with a circular, dark-brown apical line behind it ; cilia 

 blackish-gray. Hind-wings blackish-gray ; cilia rather paler. 

 Abdomen blackish, tipped with dull yellow. 



The larva mines the leaves of Cratcegus tomentosa (black 

 thorn), in September, and becomes a pupa early in October, 

 weaving a reddish-brown cocoon in a turned-down edge of 

 the leaf. The pupa case is thrust from the end of the cocoon 

 at maturity, the imago appearing early in May. There is, 

 doubtless, a summer brood, but I have not sought for it. 

 The head of the larva is brown ; the body greenish-white, 

 with the dorsuin reddish-brown. 



HYPONOMEUTA, Zeller. 



H. multipunctella. Labial palpi, head, antennas and 

 thorax white. Thorax with a black spot on the front of 

 tegulas, and a few spots of the same hue on the disk. Fore- 

 wings white, with the costa at the base blackish, and longi- 

 tudinal rows of distinct black dots ; two of which, one along 

 the inner margin, and one along the fold, are very plain. 

 Hind-wings blackish-gray. 



BEDELLIA ? Stainton. 



This genus is represented by a single species, in Europe. . 

 It was, therefore, a surprise to myself when I found the 

 species described below, corresponded to the European not 

 only in structure but in ornamentation. There is, however, 

 a slight difference in the neuration of the posterior wings of 

 the two insects when compared with Mr. Stainton's delinea-
