characterized species of British Moths. 117 



31. Genus 1009. Anacampsis, Curt. Brit. Ent. fol. 189. 



5. A. lucidetta, Step. ; Cleodora lucidella, Wood, pi. 40. f. 1240. 

 This rare insect I found on some rushes near Newchurch in the 

 Isle of Wight, the 1st of July, 1842, and Mr. Dale has taken it 

 in the New Forest. 



32. 26. A. Lyellella, Curt. It expands 6 lines and is cream- 

 coloured : antennae and legs mouse-colour, the latter spotted and 

 striped with black externally : superior wings with three black 

 costal spots, first a long one next the shoulder, a second at the 

 centre, and a third further and larger ; on the inner margin is 

 an oblong patch, neither reaching the base nor the anal angle, 

 yet extending more than midway to the costa ; apex brownish 

 with a black semicircle inclosing a dot at the tip : under-wings 

 broad, suddenly pointed, pale fuscous and iridescent. 



My specimen was taken by Sir C. Lyell the 9th of April in 

 the New Forest. 



33. Genus 1013. Cleodora, Step.; Curt. Brit. Ent. fol. 671. 

 6 b . C. neuropterella, Zell. This insect, which I supposed was 



the T. falciformis of Haworth, I took in Aug. at Mickleham. One 

 of my specimens expands 11 lines : the upper wings are falcate, 

 ochreous shaded to white on the interior margin ; the nervures 

 and spots between them are rosy-fuscous or mouse-colour. 



34. Genus 1015. Aphelosetia, Step. ? 



6 b . A. Inulella, Curt. It expands 5 lines and is white : scales 

 on head depressed ; palpi recurved, scaly to the apex : superior 

 wings narrow, lanceolate, ochreous, and freckled ; costa, a line 

 along the middle, with the radiating nervures and inferior margin 

 white, and sometimes there is an oblique white stripe near the 

 inner angle directed towards the tip ; cilia long, pale, and dotted 

 at the base : inferior wings silky dove-colour, nearly as broad as 

 the superior, truncated at the extremity, the apex produced ; cilia 

 long and thick ; hinder tibiae stout, with hairy scales. 



Very like A. rufo-cinerea, Haw., at first sight, but besides other 

 differences, the under-wings are not lanceolate, which indicates 

 an affinity to Cleodora. I bred two from flowers of Inula dysen- 

 terica the 28th of Aug. 1 848, collected near By de in the Isle of 

 Wight, and no doubt the caterpillars fed upon the seeds in the 

 receptacles. 



35. Genus 1017. Damophila, Curt. Brit. Ent. fol. 391. 



3. D. brevicornis of Dale and the ' Guide' is the Butalis aralella 

 of Zeller, Mr. Stainton informs me. 



36. Genus 1021. Pancalia, Curt. Brit. Ent. fol. 304. 



2. P.fusco-cuprea, Haw., I have taken at Podimore, near Sher- 

 borne in Dorset, the 8th of October.
