LOZOPERA BEATRICELLA, SJJ. 11. 



(PI. II, fig. 5). 



AntenncB pale primrose above, brownish-cinereous beneath, basal joint brownish- 

 ochreous. Palpi pale primrose-yellow, shaded externally with pale nut-brown. 

 Head and thorax pale primrose-yellow. Fore-wings rather shining, primrose-yellow, 

 with two oblique nut-brown transverse fasciae (having a few leaden-grey scales visible 

 around their margins), and a smear of the same colour along the base of the costa ; 

 the first fascia starting from the middle of the costa is bent (almost broken) at the 

 upper edge of the cell, where it is slightly diffused outward, starting afresh from its 

 inner margin it throws out a slight excrescence on the middle of the cell, and is 

 again sometimes attenuated at the lower edge of the cell, thence dilated again to the 

 dorsum before the middle ; the outer fascia is equal in average width to the first 

 (both being broader than in francillonana) , and leaving the costa before the apex 

 passes obliquely to the dorsum before the tornus, it is slightly indented beyond the 

 upper angle of the cell, and considerably widened outward above the tornus, expand- 

 ing again on the dorsum before it; the space between these fasciae is slightly 

 attenuated from costa to dorsum as \n francillonana (in which species, however, the 

 fasciae are more oblique, whereas, in tornella, they are almost invariably parallel, and 

 are less oblique than in francillonana) ; cilia pale primrose-yellow. Under-side 

 greyish-brown ; cilia very pale primrose. Exp. al., 14 — 16 mm. Hind-wings 

 brownish-grey ; cilia whitish-cinereous, with a slight shade line running through 

 them near their base. Under-side grey, with a slight tinge of darker grey towards 

 the apex ; cilia lacking the primrose tint of those of the fore- wings. Abdomen 

 grey ; anal tuft primrose. Legs whitish-cinereous. 



Type, S ? . 



Hah.: England, Leiston (Suffolk). Larva in stems of P«si^mflc« 

 sativa (?), IV. Twenty-three specimens. 



This species is named after my sister, Mrs. Carpenter (the re- 

 discoverer of Antispila rivillei, Stn., who bred a good series in either 

 1879 or 1880 from larvse found at Leiston (Suffolk) in April in stems 

 of an TJmbellifer, believed at the time to be Pastinaca sativa. She 

 appears to have noticed then that the species differed from francillo- 

 nana, but it had escaped my attention until now. 



LOZOPEKA FLAGELLANA, Dp. 

 (PL II, fig. 3). 



Hah. : Germany. Larva in stems of Eryngium campestre. 



This species is probably more widely distributed, but this cannot 

 be assumed from mere records of captures which may really refer to 

 some of the other species of the group. A specimen from Sarepta 

 (S. E. Eussia) in the Zeller Collection, unfortunately with the abdo- 

 men missing, is apparently //«iy67/rt««.
