108 SPECIES COLLECTED BY HERR MANN 



female has the spot beneath hardly perceptible, and the upper- 

 side of the abdomen is as dark as the thorax. The males are 

 more difficult to distinguish, but productella has the wings nar- 

 rower than Esperella. I generally observed copulation before 

 noon. 



(E. turbidella, Z. In June, on the southern slopes of the Nanos, 

 also at Fuceine on the Kouk, flying in the afternoon and evening. 

 I generally found it in copuld after sunset. I first found this in 

 1849 at Fiume, then at Spalato and Brussa. 



(E. vagabundella, Z. In May and June on the southern slopes of 

 the Nanos above Gradischa, also at Oberfeld, Locavitz, and Heili- 

 genkreuz, flying over pastures and slopes ; it is widely distributed. 

 I found it in Croatia, Istria, Dalmatia, and in Asia Minor at 

 Brussa. 



(E. gravatella, Z. In June around Wippach on pastures, slopes, and 

 grassy places, and in young bushes. I generally found it in 

 copuld in the afternoon on grass stems. 



(E. aurifrontella, H. Taken in the afternoon in the middle of May 

 among whitethorn hedges at Semona and Maria- Au. I once 

 found the larva on whitethorn in the Brigittenau.

 Nanos, near Gradischa, St. Nicholas, Langenfeld, Oberfeld, and 

 Haidenschaft, in grassy places, and in " Poderen," generally on

 female sits placidly on a grass stem, and generally there arc 

 several males swarming round her.
