black-brown. Anterior wings 12mm. -14mm., triangular, tolerably 

 pointed, brownish-grey, faintly latticed with pale before apex. 



Comparison of S. fumosella with its allies. — S. fumosella is 

 distinguished from S. clathrella, 8. icockii, and S. triquetrelta by the more 

 pointed (not rounded) forewings ; from S. inconspicuella by the absence 

 of the dark spots at the margin ; from 8. mannii and 8. pincti by the 

 shorter forewings, and from the latter by the more brownish colour, 

 and from all by the faint reticulation of the forewings. It is also 

 distinguishable from most of the species by the dark head-hairs (Heine- 

 mann) . 



Case. — -Two female cases are 2-5"' long and just under •75'" broad, 

 one rather thinner than the other, somewhat flattened beneath, with 

 slightly rounded lateral ridges, the upper ridge scarcely perceptible. 

 They are densely covered with intensely fine white-grey and blackish 

 particles of wall-lichen without intermixture of particles of earth or 

 sand. The $ case not known (Heinemann). 



Time of appearance. — Bred in May from larvae found in April on 

 tree-lichens in woods in Hanover (Glitz) ; appears in May and June in 

 the Hautes-Vosges (Peyerimhoff ) .
