European Species of the Genus Cosmopteryx. 645 



is narrower on the inner margin, and bordered on both sides with 

 golden. 



" 866. Druryella. Sppl. 999. 



" An oblique bronzy golden fascia at one-fourth of the length of 

 the wing, in the apex of the wing at the place of the anal angle 

 a white spot. 



" One specimen from Professor Frey differs in this respect, that 

 the white spot at the apex of the wing is first brassy-yellow, then 

 purple-silver, and is continued along the margin nearly to the 

 hinder golden transverse line j the abdomen is above ochreous- 

 yellow. 



" Tolerably distributed ; but scarce. Near Ziirich, June, July. 

 The larva mines in Vicia Sepiiun, and changes to pupa in the 

 earth." 



" 867. SCRIBAIELLA. Sppl. 998. 



" From the base of the anterior wings three silvery golden 

 parallel lines, the orange medial fascia emits a line through the 

 hinder golden margin. 



" Near Vienna and Frankfort-on-the-Main. 

 " Midway between this and the preceding species stands a spe- 

 cimen which I took, at the end of June, near Ratisbon, in a hollow 

 way facing north. It is of the size and form of Druryella, but 

 the entire basal third of the anterior wings is leaden-silvery, 

 obliquely terminated. From the apex of the wing a similar line 

 runs along the margin towards the medial fascia." 

 We find here indications of four species — 

 1°. The described and figured Druryella is our Ehglish hop- 

 feeder. 

 2°. The specimen from Professor Frey, with the apical streak 

 continuous, and the larva feeding on Vicia Sepium, is 

 a new species then first noticed ; it was subsequently fully 

 described by Frey under the name of Schmidiella. 

 3°. The described and figured Scribaiella — -quite identical with 



the Scribaiella of Zeller. 

 4°. The specimen taken near Ratisbon, with the basal third 

 of the wing leaden-silvery, and with a continuous apical 

 streak. Whether by " leaden-silvery" is meant the same 

 colour which most writers on this group have termed 

 " brassy," seems doubtful ; should these expressions mean 

 the same thing, this fourth species would appear identical 

 with the Druryella of Zeller.
