lxxxviii Abstract of Zeller's 



smallest specimens with sharp annulations of the antennae might easily be mistaken 

 for Gnaphalii. 



This species occurs in many parts of Germany, in August: it frequents Achillea 

 millefolium, and the larva feeds on that plant in June. 



Sp. 84. DlRECTELLA, Z. 



Certainly very similar in the form of the palpi to C. millefolii, yet with differences 

 sufficient to constitute a distinct species. The costa of the anterior wings is as a very 

 sharp line, pure white, and by the adjacent streaky darkening of the brownish yellow 

 ground-colour is still more strongly contrasted ; the antennas, also, are white. C. 

 otitae has broader anterior wings, sharp, rather shining white lines between the veins, 

 and shorter tuft of the palpi. 



A scarce species : taken by Mann on the Schmeberg, in August ; and bred by 

 Dr. Wocke, at Breslau, in July. 



Sp. 85. Argenxula, Stephens. 



Of the size of a small murinipennella, with broader wings and sharp loam-yellow 

 veins : very near Troglodytella, var. b, much smaller, with sharper, narrower white 

 spaces on the disk of the anterior wings. Granulatella is distinguished, perhaps not 

 specifically, by the rather plentifully (especially in the white spaces on the disk) scat- 

 tered black scales : argentula is generally quite undusted, rarely with two such 

 scales : the former has also more complete brownish annulations, extending nearer 

 the tip of the antenna?. 



Frequents dry grassy places in August : the cases of the larvae are to be found in 

 July, on the bloom of Achillea millefolium. 



Sp. 86. Granulatella, Z. 



Resembles C. argentula, usually a little larger, sometimes smaller : the antenna; 

 are (but not in the palest specimens) darker brownish annulated, and farther towards 

 the apex. The ground-colour of the anterior wings is darker, and in lines less 

 sharply contrasted with the loam-yellow veins. 



Flies near Glogau, not rare, in July and August. 



Sp. 87. Albicans, Z. 



Very similar to the palest specimens of granulatella, but the antennae are quite 

 unannulated, and the tuft of the palpi is rather shorter, only a third as long as the 

 terminal joint. 



Three specimens taken near Glogau. 



Sp. 88. Punctulatella, Heyden. 



As the preceding is a doubtful species, so is this a most certain and strongly- 

 marked one. None of the allied species have such deep black spots on the anterior 

 wings as punctulatella. 



A single male specimen from Marseilles.
