Zell.—Schefferella, Don. ; Step. ; Fab. ?—Zinckeella, Wiib. Tin. f. 401, 
402; Step.? Alis anticis rufo-aurantiis, basi et margine postico nigris, 
fascia ante medium, utrinque nigro-marginata, striisque tribus posticis 
longitudinalibus argenteis, Wxp. al. 4—44 lin. 
Head and face bronzy-grey. Palpi yellow; tip of the terminal joint 
fuscous. Antenne fuscous. Anterior wings reddish-orange, with the 
base black; a short oblique streak on the costa near the base, and a 
small spot near the inner margin are silvery; before the middle is an 
oblique silvery fascia, slightly margined with black; beyond the middle 
are three short longitudinal silvery streaks (one on the fold, one on the 
dise, and one on the costa); on the costa before the apex is a short 
oblique silvery streak, and some silvery scales are perceptible at the 
anal angle and along the hinder margin, the remainder of the hinder 
margin being black; cilia dark fuscous. Posterior wings greyish-violet, 
with paler cilia. 
Found at the same times and in the same places as the last. 
The larva likewise mines the leaves of the same plant, but the 
mined place is dirty greenish, with a mottled appearance. (‘The 
assertion that this larva afterwards constructs a case of the blos- 
som, in the ‘Entomologists’ Companion,’ pp. 63 and 66, is in- 
correct.)

Head, face, and palpi whitish. Antennee fuscous, with paler annula- 
tions, the tip entirely white. Anterior wings shining dark brown, with

fold, an oblique silvery fascia towards the apex, and some silvery spots 
along the hinder margin; cilia fuscous. Posterior wings whitish, with

This pretty species appears in May and August; it has been

Head and face ochreous, mixed with brownish. Palpi pale ochreous ; 
second joint with two black rings; the third with the base and two 
rings black. Antenne: whitish, annulated with dark fuscous. Anterior 
wings yellowish-grey, with the costa and hinder margin brownish; on 
the costa are four silvery streaks sloping obliquely outwards, and nearly 
meeting some silvery scales on the inner margin, with which they would 
form angulated strigee ; a black spot lies in the middle of the fold, and 
another is on the dise beyond the middle, a smaller one is sometimes
