verse lino, between the median and subdorsal veins, c exhi- 

 bits an interruption of the second transverse line at the two 

 upper places, ais in Ornatella (both sexes); d is paiticu- 

 larly dark, with slight whitish dusting, the transverse lines 

 only occur as faint fragments (39). Var. e, a male, commu- 

 nicated by Fisher von Roslerstamm, as Adornatella, has 

 broader and shorter wings: the transverse lines [veins?] are 

 coloured brown before and behind the second transverse line, 

 but not nearly so dark and conspicuous. 



Fischer von Roslerstamm found this species on the boj'ders 

 of Bohemia and Saxony in May and June, and also received 

 it from Hungary and Carniola. Von Heyden took it at 

 Frankfort-on-the-Main, Mann not abundantly near Vienna, 

 at Lichtenstein, in July. It also occurs at Frankfort-on-the- 

 Odei-, near Dantzig (v. Tied^mann), and at Glogau. It filers 

 in dry weedy slopes and fields, often along with Ornatella 

 and Subor7iatella, in June and the beginning of July. On 

 the 29th of August I took on a quite open meadow in com- 

 pany with Tortrix cespitana and conchana, four specimens 

 of both sexes, so that I suspect it is double-brooded. Their 

 flight is slow : they repose on grass and stems of weeds. 

 The larva is unknown. 



Note. — Duponchel, who does not express himself confi- 

 dently on the specific distinctness of Adornatella, 2i. point 

 which admits, however, of no doubt, does not figure the spe- 

 cies correctly (on the plate he has it Aduratella). The second 

 transverse line is without the characteristic angles, and the 

 first l)egins thin on the costa and does not even reach the 

 inner maroin.
