Insects. 2081 



Section D. — Anterior ivings with several radiating dark lines in the fringe at the apex. 



28. scitella. 30. cerasifoliella.* 



29. spartifoliella. 



Section E. — Anterior wings long and narrow, caudate at the apex. (They do not at 

 first sight, however, present this appearance, the long cilia giving a regular form 

 to the extreme margin of the wings). 



31. Clerckella. 32. padifoliella. 



Section F. — Anterior wings irrorated with black dots, forming bands and spots, but with 



no defined markings. 



33. rhamnifoliella. 35. crataegifoliella. 



34. Boyerella. 36. Sircomella.f 



Besides these species there are four others not referrible to any of our existing 

 genera, which have certain affinities with the Argyromiges, and which I have intro- 

 duced here in the hope of calling attention to their existence. I can only find that 

 one of them is known on the Continent. 



37. Loganella. 39. argentipunctella. 



38. omissella. 40. quercetella.

* Section D forms a portion of Zeller's genus Opostega, which also includes two 

 of our Aphelosetise, viz. Auritella and Salaciella. 



Salaciella, TV., Zeller, Dup. This is placed in many cabinets as the cygnipen- 

 nella of Stephens (Mr. Stephens has made two species of cygnipennella of Hubner, 

 describing the female as cygnipennella and the male as semialbella). As there is 

 much confusion about this insect and cygnipennella, Hub., I think it advisable to say 

 a few words about it. The structure of the antennae, which places it in the genus 

 Opostega, should surely be sufficient to separate it from cygnipennella, Hub., added to 

 which the insect is smaller and the anterior wings very glossy, whereas in cygnipen- 

 nella they are much duller. Salaciella is much rarer than cygnipennella. I took se- 

 veral at light in July and August last year. 



f These two sections form part of Zeller's genus Lyonetia, which, as I have be- 

 fore observed, also contains most of our Microsetise.
