2156 Insects. 



ing an angulated fascia ; the third meets (or very nearly so) the third costal spot ; its 

 outer margin is rather dark : cilia grayish white. Posterior wings clear gray, with 

 paler cilia. 



I had two specimens of this insect mixed with sylvella : they are I know my own 

 captures, but I know nothing positive as to when and where I took them ; probably at 

 Lewisham, on the trunks of poplars, at the end of April. Mr. Thomson has also a 

 specimen, which he had placed with Boyerella. 



Zeller says, " Near Vienna, on poplars, in April, July, August and September ; on 

 the Prado, in the crevices in the bark of poplars."

Expansion of the wings 4£ lines. Head tawny. Forehead white. Palpi white. 

 Antennae white, annulated with fuscous. Thorax rufous tawny. Abdomen fuscous, 

 with the extremity fulvous. Legs fuscous. Tarsi whitish, annulated with dark fus- 

 cous. Anterior wings rufous tawny, with a very slender pale basal streak, which, ra- 

 ther beyond the middle of its length, is slightly angulated towards the costa ; about 

 the middle of the wing are two pale thin streaks, one on each margin, which very 

 nearly meet ; they are both edged with fuscous internally, and the costal one exter- 

 nally, and very broad ; a little beyond the inner marginal streak is a narrow fuscous 

 band, meeting the fuscous outer margin of the costal streak, and beyond this is a faint 

 spot on the inner margin ; towards the apex is an obscure black streak, and above this 

 on the costa is a pale spot, with a black dot on its inner edge : cilia pale tawny, with 

 a black arch round the apex of the wing and to the anal angle. Posterior wings clear 

 gray, with paler cilia. 



Not a scarce species. I found it in plenty May 24th last, beating it out of the 

 hedge near the Godstone Koad station. This hedge is principally hawthorn, but con- 

 tains a mixture of bramble, hazel and oak. 



Zeller says of it, " I took this scarce species in several places near Glogau, but 

 rarely, in birch woods, in company with ulmifoliella, where I beat them out of the 

 young leaves of the bushes and low plants, particularly towards evening : the period 

 of flight is May. Mann took it also near Vienna in May, but on willows and Prunus 

 padus." 



Hubner's figure is quite distinct enough, T think, to identify this species ; but Zel- 

 ler does not even give Hubner as a doubtful synonyme, though he says afterwards, in 

 a note, that he has done very wrong not to give Hubner as a synonyme with a note 

 of interrogation. It appears, from another remark of Zeller's, that Guenee has 

 sent this species to Fischer-v-R. as the Demaryella of Duponchel, which, however, 

 Zeller is inclined to doubt, in which doubt I quite coincide with him, considering 

 the next species (which is not figured by Zeller) to be the true Demaryella of Du- 

 ponchel.
