as it does occur, according to Stainton, but have, indeed, specimens 

 where the angulation is in the middle. The cilia have two dark 

 divisional lines placed more obliquely than in N. Agrimoniella and 

 N. atricollis ; moreover the frontal tuft is paler yellow than in those 

 species. N. angulifasciella is distinguished from N. Rubivora by the 

 yellow frontal tuft, from N. arcuatella by the whiter tips of the cilia 

 of the anterior wings and the darker cilial line. The antennae are 

 short, the eye-caps white, sometimes rather yellowish. 



The larva is greenish white, with green dorsal line and brownish 

 head. It occurs in the leaves of wild roses, in shady borders of woods. 



The mine is very tortuous, with slender excremental line, and gene- 

 rally forms large blotches. 



Widely distributed.

 tioribus, grossiuscule squamatis, nigris, fascia media subobliqua, 

 in plioa fracta, argentea, ciliis post lineam nigram albidis ; tarsis 

 posticis nigris, apice albidis. Exp. al. 2 — 2j lin.

 (The specimens with blackish frontal tuft). 



All the specimens very closely resemble the preceding species, yet 

 it is easily distinguished by the black frontal tuft. Besides, it is 

 smaller, and the anterior wings appear rather narrower and of a more 

 uniform width, and their colour a deeper black. The antennae are short ; 

 the eye-caps small, pure white. 



The larva and mine are quite similar to those of N. angulifasciella; 

 the larva feeds in the leaves of Rubus caesius in moist and shady 

 places.
