lxxvi Abstract of Zeller's 



Sp. 10. Onopordiella, Mann. 



Among the species with thickly-haired antennae and ochreous anterior wings, this 

 and Wockeella are distinguished by the thick apparent pectination on the back of the 

 antennae. It is distinguished from Wockeella by the paler colour of the anterior 

 wings, of which the costa has a fine white line, which reaches only one-fourth from 

 the base, and by the antennae having only the terminal sixth free from hairs. 



The larva of this species was discovered by Mann on Onopordon acanthium. 



Sp. 11. Wockeella, Z. 



Closely allied to Onopordiella ; most easily distinguished by the antennae, of which 

 the terminal third is destitute of hairs. The costa of the anterior wings is white for 

 half its length. 



A single specimen taken by Dr. Wocke, near Breslau, June 23. 



Sp. 12. Ochkea, Haw. 



Not closely allied to any known species : the luteous anterior wings have some 

 dark veins near the costa posteriorly, and with a small discoidal silver line, a long one 

 in the fold of the wing, and the inner margin silvery white. A variety (b) occurs with 

 a silver line along the costa, and in another variety (c) the fold line and discoidal line 

 are united and produced to the apex. 



Occurs in many parts of the Continent. Mann found the case of var. b. in 1848, 

 iibundant on sunny dry slopes, on the bloom of Potentilla argentea. 



Sp. 13. Vulpecula. 



Very like Gallipennella in colour, rather smaller; easily distinguished by the 

 hairy antennae and the long palpi : according to the fomi of the parts of the head, it 

 comes nearest to Ballotella, from which it differs by its larger size, brighter colouring, 

 and more especially by the extraordinary length of the palpi, which are as long as 

 the head and thorax together. 



A single specimen in Von Heyden's collection, taken near Ofen, by Kindermann. 



Sp. 14. Ballotella, F-v-R. 



Anterior wings luteous, with white costal line, and very fine white fold line at the 

 base. 



The larva feeds on Ballota nigra, Lamium album and purpureum, in July and 

 August ; the perfect insect appearing in September. The species occurs near Vienna 

 and in the south-east of Russia. 



Sp. 15. Binotatella, Z. 



Readily distinguished among those species of which the antennae are hairy far 

 above the base, and of which the anterior wings are yellowish : it is the smallest ; 

 and the dark sprinkled anterior wings have two brownish spots, one in the fold of the 

 wing near the inner margin, and the other in the disk in the last third of the wing. 



A scarce species, discovered by Mann, near Vienna.
