ground-colour and the more conspicuous whitish nervures of the anterior wings — by 

 the tuft of hair on the palpi reaching almost to the end of the short terminal joint. 

 In many parts of Germany, not scarce, in June and August, among grass. 



Sp. 78. Versurella, Z. 



Perhaps only a smaller variety of annulatella, of paler gray ground-colour, and 

 with extremely faint annulations of the antennae. 



Not scarce, near Glogau, in June, on dry road-sides and margins of fields. 



Sp. 79. Flavaginella, Lienig. 



Nearly allied to annulatella, of the size of the smallest specimens of that species : 

 its antennae are sharply-annulated black-brown and white to the extreme apex : ante- 

 rior wings shorter and broader, rather dark loam-yellow, without any admixture of 

 gray. 



Occurs in Livonia and Finland. Madame Lienig used to find the larva-cases 

 from March to June, on walls, palings, and stems of birch-trees. Zeller found simi- 

 lar cases in September, on Chenopodium album , on which the larvae lived through the 

 winter, but died before their final change. 



Sp. 82. MOTACILLELLA, F-V-R. 



Closely allied to flavaginella, but the anterior wings broader and less pointed. 

 A single male specimen taken near Vienna. 



Sp. 81. Punctipennella, Nylander. 



Perhaps identical with the preceding, which it closely resembles, but the tuft on 

 the palpi is shorter. 



Taken near Helsingfors, early in June, among grass, rather plentifully, by 

 Tengstrom. 



Sp. 82. Gnaphai.ii, Z. 



One of the smallest Coleophorae, yet variable in size. It is distinguished from 

 flavaginella, Motacillella, &c, by its annulated antennae and pure white (in the female 

 broader) costa of the anterior wings. C. millefolii is sometimes quite as small, with 

 the anterior wings similar in colour, and the costa also similar, but it can always be 

 distinguished with certainty by the palpi : in C. Gnaphalii the tuft on the second 

 joint of the palpi is not as long as the half of the terminal joint, but in C. millefolii 

 it reaches almost to the end of it. 



Occurs in many parts of Germany, frequenting sheltered places where Gnapha- 

 lium arenarium grows, in July. The larva feeds on that plant early in June. 



Sp. 83. Millefolii, Z. 



Among those species with tuftless antennae and black scales on the dark-veined 

 anterior wings, this is distinguished by the tuft of hair on the palpi, which reaches 

 nearly to the end of the rather short terminal joint ; without this character the
