THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER 
phora albitarsella , alcyonipennella ancl 
fuscedinella, all agree in having the base 
of the antennae not scaly, a character 
which would prevent them being placed 
in Mr. Westwood’s genus Porrectaria 
(\ide ‘Intelligencer, p. 88): yet whereas 
Albitarsella affects the Labiatce ; Alcyo- 
nipennella shews a predilection for Cen- 
taur ea, a genus of Composite ; and Fusce- 
dinella takes a loftier position among the 
Amentacece.
