2162 Insects. 



in the evening round the twigs of different bushes of hawthorn, sloe, &c., in company 

 with Microsetia cinereo-punctella. 



According to Zeller this species feeds on the hawthorn, in the same way thatrham- 

 nifoliella feeds on the buckthorn. 



I cannot at all make out what insect Haworth's rufipunctella is : he says (Lepid. 

 Brit., 580, 71), — " Anterior wings cinereous, with three equidistant short fasciae; the 

 first before the middle, near obsolete ; the second, in the middle, composed of a white 

 spot, a less one black, and a red one more or less united ; the third fascia is beyond 

 the middle and very like the second. Posterior wings leaden fuscous. Expansion of 

 the wings 3f lines. I have only seen one specimen, which I took by beating haw- 

 thorn."

Wood's fig. 1331. 



Expansion of the wings 3£ lines. Head tawny. Forehead whitish. Palpi whitish. 

 Antenna? pale, annulated with fuscous. Thorax tawny. Abdomen fuscous, with the 

 extremity paler. Legs pale fuscous. Tarsi pale fuscous, spotted with black. Ante- 

 rior wings grayish tawny, with four deep fuscous patches on the costa ; the first, at the 

 base of the wing, extends half across the wing, and its outer margin slants towards 

 the anal angle ; the second is very small, and is a little before the middle of the wing ; 

 the third is beyond the middle of the wing, is very dark, and extends half across the 

 wing, and in some specimens there is a black dot at its apical extremity; the fourth is 

 at the apex of the wing, and has also occasionally a black dot at its extreme apex : on 

 the inner margin is one large semicircular dark patch, nearly in the middle, which 

 nearly joins the third costal patch : cilia pale grayish tawny. Posterior wings clear 

 gray ; cilia grayish tawny. 



I met with two specimens on a low fence near Beckenham, in May last, and after- 

 wards took a specimen at Lewisham. Mr. Sircom also takes it in some plenty. 



The dark mark on the costa, at the base of the anterior wings, easily distinguishes 

 this from the preceding species, and the colour of the head is much darker. In Mr. 

 Stephens' cabinet a specimen of each of these two species is placed as rufipunctella. 



Sp. 37. Loganella, Stainton (fig. 37). 



Expansion of the wings 4 lines. Head grayish fuscous. Forehead black. Palpi 

 white. Antenna? gray, annulated with black. Thorax blackish. Abdomen deep fus- 

 cous. Legs dark fuscous. Tarsi pale fuscous, with darker annulations. Anterior 

 wings very dark, almost black, with two white spots on the inner margin, one about 

 the middle rather curved outwardly, and one smaller near the anal angle ; the costa 

 has six white spots beyond the middle, all very small, the second of which is continued 

 pale fuscous right across the wing, but shows a conspicuous white spot just before it 

 reaches the middle of the wing ; at the extreme apex is a black spot : cilia fuscous,
