14 IN MEMORIAM. 



(E. Z., 1861, p. 3-2), Hiib. ? I found the larva in its flat- 

 lying case, from October to the beginning of June, on old 

 walls grown over with Byssus, I first found it on the ruins 

 of the castle of Heidelberg, afterwards at Konigstein in the 

 Taunus mountains. The perfect insects made their appear- 

 ance at the end of June and beginning of July. 



I take this species for Hiibner's Tinea Pagenstecherellay 

 of which the original is no longer known. According to my 

 copy of Hiibner's work, fig. *265 suits tolerably well, only 

 the spot towards the apex of the wing does not touch the 

 costa, but it may easily be supposed to vary to that extent, 

 ns this spot is often attenuated above, and this attenuated 

 portion may sometimes disappear altogether. Even the pale 

 head is represented in the figure. (1830.) 



Incurvaria provectella, n. sp., Heyden (E. Z. 1865, 

 p. 103). 



Capillis flavo-rufescentibus ; pal pis elongatis, flavis; alis 

 anterioribus lucidulis, griseo-fuscis, macula angulo anali 

 trigona fiavo-albida. 



Exp. al. 9 lin. 



Nearly related to I, vetulella, Zetterstedt, but rather 

 larger and the anterior wings narrower. 



The antennae are brown, rather shorter and thicker than 

 in that species. Palpi long, as long as the head is broad, 

 straight, imicolorous pale yellow. Tuft of the head reddish- 

 yellow. 



Thorax and abdomen grey-brown. Anal tuft and the ad- 

 joining hairs grey. Legs grey, the spurs and tibise rather 

 paler. 



Anterior wings rather shining, unicolorous grey-brown ; 

 only when examined with a lens a mixture of grey scales 

 becomes visible. At the anal angle, rather further from the
