NEW BRITISH TINEIXA. 129 



"Anterior wings shining, wliitish straw-colour, delicately 

 spotted with fuscous, and with three larger fuscous spots, the 

 most distinct at the end of the discoidal cell ; on the inner 

 margin, a little before the middle, is another almost as dis- 

 tinct, and the third lies on the inner margin near the base of 

 the wing j the small spots along the costa beyond the middle 

 are particularly distinct 5 cilia fuscous at the base, then paler 

 iuscous, intersected by several faint dashes of whitish straw- 

 colour. 



*^ Posterior wings pale grey, with a faint purplish gloss ; 

 tlie cilia silky pale grey. 



" In markings this perhaps comes nearest to S. incons'pi- 

 cuellay but is distinguished at a glance by the very different 

 ground colour, by the more opaque hind wings, and by the 

 distinctlv ciliated antennce." 



Ypsolopiius ustulellus, Fabricius. 



Professor Frey makes the remark in his "Tineen und 

 Pterophoren der Schweiz," that it is extraordinary the 

 English Fauna should only possess two species of Ypsolo- 

 phuSf and at that time Fasciellus, v^hich even yet is always a 

 rarity with us, and the pretty, neat 31arginellus, were the only 

 two known British species. Since then Juniperellus has 

 occurred in Perthshire, and no doubt we have it also in many 

 parts of the South of England. 



Of Ustulellus Fi-ey remarks, " widely distributed but 

 scarce; occurring in Livonia, Hungary, Naples, and the 

 North of France ; but in Germany more in the south, at 

 Frankfort-on-the-Main, Carlsruhe and Constance; also in 

 Austria. 



" Scarce in Switzerland; observed at Bremgarten (Boll) 

 and Lausanne (Laharpe)."
