inwards immediately above the anal angle. Along the apical 

 margin is a row of six or seven brownish fuscous spots, separated 

 by whitish scales. Fringes grey. On the under side of the fore 

 wings a pale costal spot indicates the upper end of the white 

 waved outer line. Hind wings shining grey. Abdomen slightly

Introduced by Lord Walsingham, September, 1886. 



British Localities. — Thetford and Lynn, Norfolk. 



Distribution. — Germany; Gallicia ; North-western Russia. 



Lord Walsingham, in bringing forward the species (E. M. M. 

 xxiii. p. 84), says that he bred Cateremna terebrella in July 

 from cones of Abies douglasii, which he had collected during 

 the same month from a tree growing on his estate. A detailed 

 description of the larva is given in the article referred to, from 

 which the following particulars are quoted :— " Semitransparent, 

 greyish white, with some pale brown spots, each bearing a single 

 hair. Head pale brown ; plate on second segment slightly paler 

 than the head." 



Note. — The specimen figured was kindly lent for the purpose 

 by Lord Walsingham.

Allied to species of the Ornatella group, " but may-he- readily 

 recognized by the dark chestnut- brown anterior wings, which are 

 only paler along the costa and on the inner margin, and by the 

 second transverse line, which ceases far below the costa, and is 

 broadly interrupted near the inner margin." — (Knaggs.) 



Introduced by Mr. Meek, September, 1870. 



British Locality. — ? Norfolk. 



Distribution. — Central and Southern Europe ; South-eastern 

 Russia. 



Note. — In bringing forward this species as an addition to the 

 British list, Mr. Meek says, " Several specimens have been 

 captured by Mr. Button, of Gravesend, this season." Dr. 

 Knaggs, referring to these same specimens, says that they were 

 taken by Mr. Button near Gravesend. Mr. Button himself 

 records Pempelia obductella, and his note reads, " Norfolk. A few 

 among Origanum." According to Mr. Doubleday the larva is 

 dull green, with longitudinal black stripes, and feeds upon various 

 species of mint, especially Mentha arvensis.
