Sp. 40. Steamentella, Z. 



Anterior wings unicolorous yellowish gray, with only a very thin, hardly percep- 

 tible whitish line on the costa before the middle. 



Taken by Mann near Vienna, in June, and near Szexard, in Hungary, in pasture- 

 fields. 



Sp. 41. Albicostella, F-v-R. 



Most like C. niveicostella, but with a broader, snow-white, sharply margined 

 costal streak to the anterior wings, brown annulated antennae, and a distinct though 

 short tuft to the antennae. 



Near Vienna, on bare hills, May to September. 



Sp. 42. * Ckocinella, Tengstrom. m 

 In June, near Helsingfors, in Finland. 



Sp. 43. Tiliella, Schrank. 



Distinguished from palliatella by its white anterior wings being only towards the 

 apex sprinkled with brown-gray : the also darker Hemerobiella is, by the form of the 

 antennae, not closely allied. 



Generally distributed, and common in June and July. The larva feeds in May, 

 on whitethorn, blackthorn and birch. Its case has some resemblance to that of 

 palliatella, if we except the appendages, and still more with that of Currucipennella. 



Sp. 44. * Incanella, Tengstrom. 

 Sp. 45. * Murinella, Tengstrom. 



Sp. 46. Palliatella, Zincken. 



Nearest allied to Tiliella, Currucipennella and Ibipennella : from the former easy 

 to be distinguished, from the nervures towards the apex of the anterior wings being 

 faint yellowish brown, whereas Tiliella has here only scattered gray-brown scales. 

 Currucipennella is even more like, but in this the yellowish brown nervures are much 

 thickened, almost confluent, and continued very distinctly (only lighter) to the base 

 of the wing. Ibipennella comes the nearest : it is like the smallest specimens of 

 palliatella, with the anterior wings dirty white, with broader, somewhat darker, loam- 

 yellow long nervures. 



A widely-distributed species, appearing in June and July. The larva feeds on 

 oak, birch and hazel. The case has an appendage fastened to each side of the upper 

 end, which conceals the greater part of the tube, and leaves only the lower end unco- 

 vered. 



Sp. 47. Ibipennella, Heyden. 



Differs from Currucipennella in the branches of the nervures being sprinkled with 

 loam-yellow scales, and not appearing as loain-yellow lines. 



Bred by Von Heyden, from a larva found on an oak-leaf, in June. The case 

 precisely resembles that of Tiliella.
