IN TUSCANY IN 1846. 59 



however, I still hesitate greatly to follow him. The transition 

 from the markings of strlatellus to those of Kefersteiniellus is very 

 easily shown, and then the only remaining difference is the darker 

 ground-colour of the latter.) 



64. Y. dolosellus, F. v. R. At the end of May at Ardenza, in 

 pasture-fields late in the evening, singly. 



65. *T. lanceolellus, Kollar, n. sp. [Described by Zeller, see p. 76.] 

 In the latter half of May at Ardenza and Salviano, in pasture - 

 fields at sunset ; very scarce. 



66. Y. imparellus, F. v. R. On the 19th of May at Pisa, on grass, 

 singly, during the midday heat. 



67. Holoscolia forficella, Hb. At the end of May and beginning of 

 June at Pisa and Pratolino, in dry grassy places, towards evening 

 not very scarce. 



68. Anarsia spartiella, Schr. At the beginning of May, at Anti- 

 gnano, in hedges ; scarce. 



69. *Anc7iinia punctella, Costa (monostictella, Koll. in lit.). [De- 

 scribed briefly by Zeller, see p. 77.] Throughout May at Leghorn, 

 Montenero, Antignano, Posignano, Riparbella, and Pisa, at the 

 beginning of June at Florence and Pratovecchio, on grassy places 

 and pasture-fields in the evening ; not scarce. 



70. *A. pyropella, S. V. In May at Ardenza, on the Bagnio-heath ; 

 not at all scarce. Much paler than the Vienna specimens, indeed 

 often of a greenish grey-yellow. (Of two Tuscan males one is 

 indeed of a brighter yellow than my Vienna specimens, but the 

 other scarcely paler ; hence the pale colouring cannot be accepted 

 as an inflexible rule for the Tuscan specimens.) 



71. A. rostrdla, Hb. At the end of May at Ardenza, in pasture- 

 fields ; much scarcer than near Vienna. 



72. A. bicostella, L. At the beginning of June at Poppi, singly 

 amongst heather. 



73. Harpella proloscidella, Sulzer. At the end of May at Antignano 

 and Montenero, among bramble hedges. 



74. *H. Geoffrella, L. (Gruneriella, Mann in lit.) From the 26th 

 of April to the middle of May, at Salviano, Montenero, and 

 Ardenza, this flew by thousands amongst evergreen hedges in the 

 sunshine before noon. On account of its resemblance to Treit- 

 schke's Geoffroyett-a [for which Zeller has proposed the name 

 StaintonieUa] I collected but few, and did not discover the differ- 

 ence till I returned home to Vienna. I never saw any moth so 

 abundant as this was. 



75. N. Iracteella, L. At the beginning of June at Pratolino, on 

 young oaks, two specimens. 



76. Hypercallia Christiernini, Z. From the middle to the end of 

 June in the marshes of Pisa, in grassy places, in company with 

 Tortrix strigana ; very abundant. It did not occur near Leghorn.
