lxiv Mr. H. T. Staintori's New Micro-Lepidoptera. 



Elachista trapeziella. 

 Anterior wings black, with four small white spots, — one on the disk near the base, 

 one on the costa beyond the middle, one near the anal angle, and one towards the 

 apex, — thus very unlike any other known species ; head black. 



Elachista apicipunctella. 



Nobilella, Sta. in litt. (non Z.) 



Larger than albifrontella. Exp. 4^ lines. Anterior wings dark golden brown, 



with an oblique silvery fascia before the middle (nearest the base on the costa), and 



two silvery spots posteriorly, the costal one rather behind the dorsal one, and near its 



apex a silvery spot near the hinder margin. 



Nobilella, Z., for which I at first took this, is rather smaller than magnificella. 



Bucculatrix aurimaculella. 



Anterior wings very glossy and rather bronze-coloured, with two pairs of obliquely 

 placed yellowish spots ; head very dark purple. 



Taken by Mr. Sircom, and sent by him to many persons as Euspilapteryx auro- 

 guttella. 



Bucculatrix vetustella, Mann in litt. 

 Very closely allied to the preceding [ulmella], but yellower, the dorsal dark spot 

 smaller and brighter, and the apex of the wing paler. 



I find I have one specimen, which I took among oaks, August 12th last year. 



Nepticula angulifasciella. 

 Argyropeza, 7a., var. a, 320 ? 

 Smaller than argentipedella. Anterior wings black, with two nearly opposite 

 trigonal silvery spots a little beyond the middle of the wing, sometimes united and 

 forming an angulated fascia; head ferruginous. 



Nepticula septembrella. 

 Anterior wings blackish, with a single yellowish spot on the disk near the anal an- 

 gle : head ferruginous ; antennae grayish. 



One specimen taken by Mr. Bedell, at West Wickham, last September. 



Trifurcula squamatella. 

 Exp. 4 lines. Anterior wings yellowish, with coarse dark scales ; head yellowish ; 

 posterior wings with yellowish cilice. 



Mr. Sircom and Mr. Bedell have each one specimen. 



Trifurcula pulverosella. 

 Not properly belonging to this genus ; but very like the preceding [immundella], 

 only darker and head ferruginous. 



Scarce. I have taken it among grass, in May.
