these are interrupted by groups of whitish scales, some placed obliquely outward 

 between the middle of the costa and the end of the cell, some parallel with the 

 outer extremity of the cell, others preceding the termen and apex parallel to the 

 margin of the wing, one group more conspicuous than the others forms a rounded 

 white spot at the outer end of the cell, preceded by a few whitish scales at a little 

 distance from it, also on the cell ; cilia shining bronzy-cinereous, with a rosy tinge 

 and darker speckling along their base. Exp. al., 20 mm. Hind-wings shining pale 

 bone-colour ; cilia the same colour, with a faint greyish shade-line running through 

 them near their base. Under-side with four or five dark fuscous spots visible at and 

 beneath the apex, but not running through the cilia. Abdomen shining pale 

 brownish-cinereous. Legs brownish-cinereous, hind tibiae banded externally with 

 bronzy- fuscous, the tibiae also with three bronzy fuscous annulations, diminishing in 

 proportion to the size of the joints.

Rah. : CoESiCA, Tavignano Valley (Corte), 28, Y, 1896. One 

 specimen. 



A single specimen occurred in the Tavignano Valley, at Corte, on 

 May 28tli, evidently freshly emerged from the pupa. It belongs to 

 the group of alhipunctella, Hb., and cJioeropJiylli, Z., and is decidedly 

 darker tha,r\ Jloridella, Mn. I can find no species from which it is not 

 actually distinct. 



Depuessaeia. eadiosquamella, Wlsm. ?. 



A second specimen, possibly referable to the same species, but less distinctly 

 marked, occurred on May 12th, at Ponte-alla-Leceia. It differs in the apical joint 

 of the palpi having two distinct dai'k rings instead of being darkly scaled through- 

 out, and the second joint shows no division between its external dark shading as in 

 the type. The fore-wings are Somewhat less rosy, the discal spot is inconspicuous, 

 and the blackish lines are scarcely traceable, the whole apical portion being covered 

 by a smoky shade. It bears, however, sufficient resemblance to the type to prevent 

 me from regarding it in the absence of a series as anything more than a suffused 

 variety. Uxp. al., 24 mm.

 Antennce (f ) biserrate on their outer half, basal joint with strong pecten ; 

 brownish-cinereous. Palpi slender, recurved, reaching scarcely as high as the 

 vertex, not thickly clothed ; apical joint shorter than the second ; brownish-cine-

 fuscous, profusely dusted with pale brownish-cinereous scales, evenly distributed 

 throughout, but leaving two discal spots and one plical spot somewhat ill-defined, 

 the plical spot is almost exactly under the first discal, but if anything a little farther
