xc Abstract of Zeller' s 



This species is no rarity near Glogau, and Zeller has often bred it, he thinks, from 

 birches. It is also widely distributed on the Continent. 



Sp. 94. Orbitella, Z. 



A distinct species which may hitherto have been confounded with Coracipennella 

 and Lusciniaepennella: Zeller himself united it formerly with Coracipennella. It is 

 distinguished from the former by its much paler and smoother, not coarsely scaled 

 anterior wings, and the annulations of the antennae vanishing far before the apex ; 

 the latter is also the best distinguishing character from Lusciniaepennella. The 

 smooth anterior wings, and the longer basal joint of the antennae distinguish it from 

 fuscedinella. 



Orbitella occurs near Glogau, and among willows at Vienna, but is scarce. 



Sp. 95. Bindeeella, Kollar. 



The darkest specimens are hardly to be distinguished from fuscedinella ; but in 

 them the colour of the anterior wings is more yellow, and wants a slaty tint. In 

 most specimens, which are easily recognized, the yellow colour prevails still more ; 

 and then it approaches the colour of solitariella. The latter species has besides the 

 black-gray posterior wings, which contrast strongly with the anterior wings, com- 

 pletely black and white annulated antennae, similar to the still paler coloured Lusci- 

 niaepennellae and lutipennella. 



Biuderella flies plentifully in alder-brakes, near Glogau ; probably also in birch 

 woods : it occurs also at Vienna, among alders, and in other parts of Gennany. 



Sp. 96. Lusciniipennella, TV. 



The sexes generally are rather different in the colour of the anterior wings. The 

 male comes near orbitella ; but is rather paler, and has completely black annulated 

 antennae, and a short basal joint. The female generally approximates to lutipen- 

 nella ; the yellow on the wings is dirtier and lighter, and the scales less coarse, which 

 thence causes a smoother surface. 



This species occurs in most parts of Germany : the larva feeds on roses from the 

 middle of April to the middle of May : the perfect insect begins to appear about the 

 middle of May. 



Sp. 97. Lithargvrinella, Z. 



Distinguished by the loam-yellow, inclining to bronze-yellow colour of the smooth 

 and remarkably shining anterior wings. 



Freqirents the narrow-leaved alpine sallow on the Schneeberg. 



Sp. 98. Deviella, Z. 



Readily distinguished from Lusciniaepennella by the thicker antennae, with white 

 basal joints, and pale annulations, and the narrower, less smooth anterior wings. 



Zeller took three specimens on the 4th of May, in the marshes, near Syracuse, 

 among Juncus acutus.
