316 BRITISH LEPIDOPTEKA. 



slightly different form of wing, being proportionally broader basally. 

 The Riviera examples have awing expanse of 12mm. -13mm., 24 joints 

 to the antennae, and the length of the tibial spur is -70." [We strongly 

 suspect this species, in spite of its rather smaller size, to be synonymous 

 with Bruand's saxicolella.] 



Masonia edwardsella, n. sp. — Anterior wings 11mm. in expanse, rather square, 

 somewhat thickly (but loosely) scaled, pale (tending to whitish) in colour ; cilia, 

 darker, shiny ; posterior wings and cilia concolorous with those of forewings ; 

 antennae with 20 joints, anterior tibial spur -71 of length of tibia, no cellula intrusa. 



The cases from which these males were bred in June, 1898, were 

 collected by Mr. Edwards and Dr. Chapman at Aix-les-Bains the 

 preceding April, when the larvae were full-fed. The cases are coarser 

 than those of F. casta and are surrounded by stouter stalks, three or 

 four of which project (more particularly in those of the males) beyond 

 the end of the case. [A full account of the imago, larva, pupa, &c, may 

 be found in the Ent. Piecord, vol. xii., Feb. no.] . It is just possible that 

 this is a rather small form of M. subfiavella the $ of which, however, 

 has 24 antennal joints and an anterior tibial spur "70 of the tibia in 

 length. The specimens are referred to as saxicolella, Ent. Rec, xi., 

 p. 238, a species to which edwardsella must also be very closely allied. 

 Chapman notes that "the specimens much resemble subfiavella but are 

 smaller, have only 20 joints to the antennae, and a tibial spur length 

 of "71; they resemble B. reticulatella in the looseness of their scales, 

 and there may be some grounds for suspecting that they are Bruand's 

 saxicolella, which, however, is defined as being 15mm. in expanse, and 

 probably also, as well as B. reticulatella, has the cellula intrusa which 

 edwardsella is without."
