MAY, 1860. 127 



fuscous. Fore-wings purplish-fuscous, with a yellow basal 

 streak from the base to the middle of the wing, sometimes 

 almost wanting, and the tip of the wing of the same hue. 

 Hind-wings dark fuscous. 



Fore-wings with three nervules beneath the apical. 

 B. matutella* Head, face, thorax and antennas dark 

 brownish, with a purple hue. Fore-wings reddish-fuscous, 

 with a brassy lustre ; a pale greenish-white spot rather 

 obliquely placed near the middle of the wing, and one of the 

 same hue on the inner margin, near the apex. Hind-wings 

 dark fuscous, cilia the same. 



ANAESIA? Zeller. 



Fore-wings ovate-lanceolate ; with an opaque space on the 

 costa, towards the end of the costal nervure, and the first 

 subcosto-marginal branch. Discoidal cell rather narrow, 

 closed by a short nervure. The subcostal sends four branches 

 to the costa, the first from a point rather behind the middle 

 of the wing, much separated from the second, and the last 

 furcate on the costa before the tip, and a simple branch 

 beneath the latter to the inner margin just beneath the tip of 

 the wing. The median subdivides into four branches, rather 

 approximated at their origins, the medio-posterior branch 

 being nearly opposite to the second marginal. Subcostalf 

 furcate at the base. Hind-wings trapezoidal, costa retuse, 

 slightly emarginate beneath the tip, hind margin obliquely 

 rounded; broader than the fore-wings. Subcostal nervure 

 rather attenuated toward the base, with a faintly formed 

 intercostal cell, furcate. Discoidal cell broad, closed, with 

 a nervule given off to the hind margin. Median three- 

 branched, medio-posterior branch distant from the others. 



* Of this I received six specimens from Dr. Clemens ; it is possible that 

 it may be the B. impositella, Zeller (Linn. Ent. x. 241). The exp. al. is 5 

 lines. H. T. S. 



f Submedian is probably here meant, not subcostal. H. T. S.
