certainly ate in captivity grass and other leaves, but soon 

 died. 



The larva resembles more that of a Psychej than that of 

 a Talcvporia, 



Blabophanes imella, Hiibner, Heyden (E. Z. 1860, 

 p. 118). I found these larva near Frankfort, in November, 

 in great plenty in an old felt-shoe, which was lying in a field 

 almost covered with earth. The larva lived gregariously in 

 closely- crowded tubes, which were externally coated with 

 earth. 



Some of the moths were developed in a few days, the 

 remainder in the month of May following. (1826.) 



Tinea fenestratella, n. sp., Heyden (E. Z. 1863, 

 p. 342). 



Alis anterioribus angustatis, flavido-griseis ; in medio 

 maculis tribiis pallidis, quarum anterior subhyalina. 



Exp. al. 4 lin. 



Anterior wings rather shining, yellowish-grey, mixed 

 with darker scales. In the middle of the wing is an oval, 

 whitish, almost transparent spot, and beyond this, towards 

 the apex of the wing, two opposite spots more indistinct, 

 yellowish and elongate. The cilia are dark, with a blackish 

 divisional line. On the grey underside only the tiansparent 

 central spot is perceptible. 



Posterior wings pale grey, with the apex and cilia rather 

 darker. 



Head clothed with reddish-brown hairs, darker on the 

 crown. Labial palpi with drooping, narrower terminal 

 joint, brown. Antennae rather shorter than the anterior 

 wings, thin, brown. Thorax and abdomen brownish. Legs 

 yellowish ; the tarsi blackish above.
