 T. sulplmirella, Ferrari. 

 Anomia sulphiirella, Leth. ; Fieb. ■ 



■ Male. Primrose-yellow or pale orange-yellow, and 

 without any definite markings. In some examples, 

 however, pale brown basal stains occur on the 

 scutellum. Frons entirely yellow. Eyes yellow, but 

 sometimes pale brown. Three pale spots on the apex 

 of the corium (Edw.). The only character by which 

 this species can be determined appears to be the 

 penis, the summit of which is divided into three 

 branches, two of which are bifid and the other 

 trifid, as shown by Mr. Edwards. 



No outward difference can be seen between the 

 females of this species and T. cratccgi. Perhaps the 

 latter are rather greyer on the elytra. Some of 

 Mr. Douglas' specinaens are more rufous in colour 

 than others. 



Common on the heights of Totland Bay, Isle of 

 Wight ; also thousands occur sometimes in August on 

 the low bushes near moor-edges at Huddersfield. 



Length of body, 0*14 inch, 3-30 millimetres. 



May be taken on various trees, according to Edwards, 

 who names the maple, hornbeam, black poplar, elm, 

 and lime tree.
