2088 Insects. 



another broad dark fascia precedes the inner marginal spot ; beyond this spot the cos- 

 tal half of the apex is tawny, the half nearest the anal angle is much spotted with deep 

 fuscous : cilia tawny. Posterior wings clear gray, with paler cilia. 



I am inclined to think this distinct from tristrigella, but having only seen one spe- 

 cimen, which is in the collection of Mr. Bedell, I am reluctant to found a species upon 

 it where there is the slightest reason to doubt. Its main points of difference from 

 tristrigella are — 



1. The angulation of the second pale fascia, which in tristrigella is nearly straight. 



2. The breadth of the black margins to the fasciae, which makes it approximate in 

 appearance to trifasciella. 



3. The absence of the pale spot on the costa opposite the inner marginal spot.

 Argyromiges Kleemannella, Haworth ? Lepidop. Brit. 576, 54. 



Expansion of the wings 4 lines. Head brownish orange. Forehead white. Palpi 

 white. Antennae white, annulated with brown. Thorax brownish orange. Abdomen 

 fuscous. Legs and tarsi deep fuscous. Anterior wings deep brownish orange, very 

 glossy, with three nearly straight, equidistant, pale fasciae, and beyond these two pale 

 spots on the costa and one on the inner margin ; at the apex is a black spot : cilia 

 pale, with an arch of black dots round the apex. Posterior wings gray, with paler 

 cilia. 



This species having in this country been mixed with specimens of tristrigella in 

 cabinets, I can obtain no information how or when the specimens were taken. I must 

 have taken several last summer, but for want of labelling captures can say nothing 

 about them. 



Zeller says " This scarce species is found near Vienna, on alders, in the leaves of 

 which the caterpillar mines : the chrysalis lives through the winter, and the perfect 

 insect appears in May and June ; near Frankfort on the Oder ; in Livonia, in June 

 and July ; near Dantzig ; near Glogau, where I took a tine female on the 18th of June, 

 on birch." 



As this species comes nearer than any other known British species to the Fabrician 

 Kleemannella, I have quoted Haworth doubtingly as a synonyme.
