No ocelli. 
Anterior wings narrow, with twelve ribs, veins seven and eight springing one 
after the other out of vein 6. ‘ | 
Posterior wings as broad as the anterior wings, beyond the middle rounded, | 
with produced apex, veins six and seven remote at their origin, cilia nearly twice as | 
long as the breadth of the posterior wings. 
This genus contains only three species— 
Leucatella,t Nanella, *Lathyrella. 
Porcinia (p. 281). 
Palpi slightly recurved, thin, middle joint beneath with slightly standing-out 
scales, with no furrow, terminal joint shorter, filiform. 
Anterior wings posteriorly short-pointed, with less than twelve ribs, veins seven 
and eight on one stalk, the middle cell open. 
Posterior wings not as broad as the anterior wings, posteriorly obliquely trun- | 
cate, with narrow long-produced apex, the middle cell open, cilia more than twice | 
as long as the posterior wings are broad. 
This contains only two British species— 
Albiceps and Gemmella. 
One other, Nigrinotella, occurs in Germany. 
ARGYRITIS (p. 283). 
Palpi slightly recurved, middle joint at the end loosely scaled, with a longi- 
tudinal furrow, terminal joint of the same length. 
Ocelli small. | 
Anterior wings narrow, posteriorly long-pointed, with twelve ribs, veins seven | 
and eight on one stalk. | 
Posterior wings not as broad as the anterior wings, posteriorly obliquely 
truncate, with narrow far-produced apex, cilia more than three times as long as the 
breadth of the posterior wings. 
This comprises two British species— 
Pictella and *Tarquiniella. 
One other, Superbella, occurs in Germany. 
Nawnnopia (p. 284). 
Palpi short, slightly recurved, filiform, with appressed scales, terminal joint | 
shorter than the middle joint. 
With ocelli. 
Anterior wings narrowed from the middle, with twelve ribs, veins seven and 
eight on one stalk, rib twelve very short. 
Posterior wings not as broad as the anterior wings, oblong with a long-produced | 
apex, no vein 6, the middle cell posteriorly open, cilia more than twice as long as | 
the breadth of the posterior wings. 
This consists only of the two species— 
Stipella (Neviferella) and Hermannella. 
+ It seems strange that leucatella should be separated from rosalbella, which is referred to the 
genus Gelechia, and that lathyrella should be separated from nigricostella, which is referred to the | 
genus Brachmia.—H. T. 8.
