1. Walshia calcarata, sp.n. (Tab. I. fig. 15.) 
Antennae brownish, the last eleven or twelve joints pure white. Palpi with the median joint enlarged by 
projecting scales above, and more especially beneath, giving it a triangular form; terminal joint stout, 
somewhat clothed beneath nearly to the apex; white, dusted with brown, except at the extremity of 
each joint. Head white. Thorax greyish fuscous above, whitish behind; tegulae whitish. Forewings 
brown and whitish, mixed in about equal proportions, with a lilac gloss about the paler parts, especially 
below the fold; a stout, square-ended, tuft of brownish ochreous raised scales below the fold at one- 
third of its length, a ridge of raised scales of the same colour, but delicately striated with brown, crosses 
the middle of the wing from costa to dorsum; another raised patch, somewhat tinged with fuscous, 
occurring at the end of the cell, is succeeded by a pale transverse band with lilac reflections, the central 
fascia being also preceded and followed by the same whitish ground-colour ; three fuscous dots occur at 
the base of the brownish ochreous cilia below the apex, the tornal cilia tending to greyish. xp. al. 
13mm. Hindwings cinereous, dusted with pale brownish ; cilia cinereous, tinged with ochreous towards 
the apex. Abdomen (missing). Legs brownish, the hind tibiae obliquely banded with white at the base 
of the first pair of spurs; second pair of spurs densely clothed with a triangular tuft of white scales

Type 3 (65539) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.). 
Hab. Mexico: tapasco: Teapa, III. (H. H. Smith). Unique. 
The clothing of the spurs of the hind tibiae distinguishes calcarella from amorphella 
Clms., and detracta Wlsm.

Antennae cinereous, annulate with brownish fuscous; the elongate basal joint fuscous above, pale beneath. 
Palpt recurved to the vertex, somewhat coarsely clothed nearly to the apex, terminal joint longer than

the middle of the terminal joint. Head greyish fuscous above, face steel-whitish. Zhorawx dark greyish 
fuscous. Forewings dark grevish fuscous to the end of the basal third, with a large concurrent pattern 
of raised scales, tinged with chestnut-brown beyond the base, especially about the middle of the costa 
and at the apex, with numerous tufts of raised scales distributed nearly to the apex; cilia brownish 
cinereous, greyish fuscous at the extreme apex. Hvp.al.15 mm. MHindwings greyish brown; cilia 6,
