62 HETEROCERA. 
subochreous bands, the last including the apex. Head and Thorax dark fuscous ; a few ochreoys scales 
above the eyes. Forewings tawny fuscous, with a dark fuscous median shade running through them, 
from near the base to the apex, interrupted before the middle by a large white, outwardly oblique, 
costal patch which reaches to the fold expanding outward on the cell; this is clearly defined, its origin 
being at one-fourth from the base ; there is a faintly indicated spot of pale scales at the end of the cell 
and another above and beyond it on the costa; the dorsum is narrowly white from base to flexus ; 
cilia greyish fuscous, sprinkled with whitish ochreous. Exp. al. 17 mm. Hindwings shining, pale 
grey; cilia inclining to ochreous. Abdomen leaden grey. Legs whitish ochreous, the tarsi and tibiae 
widely banded with fuscous.

6. Gelechia cacoderma, sp. n. | 
Antennae tawny fuscous, faintly annulate with pale ochreous. Palpi tawny fuscous, speckled with pale 
ochreous. Head whitish ochreous, speckled with tawny fuscous. Thorax tawny fuscous, speckled with 
pale ochreous. Forewings tawny fuscous, intermingled with pale brownish ochreous and blotched with 
brownish fuscous, the usual markings being scarcely distinguishable in the somewhat rough and mixed 
sealing ; the darker blotching apparently coincides with a medio-plical spot, a discal spot beyond it, and 
another at the end of the cell, and forms a costal spot at one-fourth, another at three-fifths, and an apical 
shade preceded by an ill-defined transverse pale band; cilia pale brownish ochreous, speckled with 
_ tawny fuscous along their basal half. Hwp. al. 16-21 mm. Hindwings broader than the forewings, 
scarcely sinuate below the apex; bronzy brownish, with paler greyish brown cilia. Abdomen brownish 
ochreous towards the base, shading to greyish brown posteriorly. Legs greyish brown, hind tibiae and 
tarsi banded with pale ochreous.

Hab. Mexico: GUERRERO: Amula, 6000 ft., VIII-IX. (H. H. Smith). Twelve 
specimens. 
Closely allied to 5755 bicostimaculella Chmb. in colouration, but a much larger 
species with the paler markings less distinct. 
7. Gelechia veneranda, sp. n. 
Antennae fawn-brownish, delicately barred with blackish above. Palpi brownish fawn, streaked with 
blackish, the terminal joint nearly black throughout; the median very hirsute beneath, with long 
diverging scales. Head stone-whitish. Thoraw fawn-grey. forewings mottled with much mixed 
colours, of which the ground-colour may be taken as pale stone-colour ; on this is a profuse sprinkling 
and partial suffusion of fawn-brownish, with sundry spots and streaks almost black, or at least very 
dark fuscous ; of these two are costal, one before and one beyond the middle, and two are discal, parallel 
to the costal, but a little further removed from the base; the terminal and apical portion of the wing 
is almost entirely suffused with this dark brownish fuscous shading, and the fold is marked by a narrow 
line of the same throughout; all the different shades are much blended together and ill-defined, a 
slight rufous tinge prevailing above the fold; cilia brownish ochreous, the outer half paler. wp, ai. 
16-17 mm. Hindwings brownish grey, profusely irrorated with brownish scales beyond the basal third ; 
cilia pale brownish grey. Abdomen brownish cinereous. Legs brownish fuscous, with pale cinereous 
spots on the tarsal joints.
