GELECHIA. 63 
8. Gelechia nigripectus, sp. n. 
Antennae cinereous beneath, black above. Palpt hoary cinereous on the inner surface, sooty black externally 
and beneath; with a hoary ring at the apex of the median joint. Head and Thorax hoary cinereous. 
Forewings lanceolate ; hoary cinereous, profusely sprinkled and shaded with brownish fuscous, leaving 
an indistinct pale fluctuate fascia across the outer fifth; the outer third of the cell shows an elongate 
black streak, apparently composed of two spots connected by a line of black scales; the terminal and 
dorsal parts of the wing-surface are rather more suffused and less speckled than the costal portion; cilia 
pale brownish cinereous, somewhat sprinkled with fuscous. Exp. al. 15 mm. Hindwings semi- 
transparent, grey, shading to pale bronzy brownish along the margins and especially along the costa 
towards the apex; cilia pale brownish cinereous. Abdomen pale brownish cinereous. Legs pale 
brownish cinereous, suffused externally, and broadly banded on the tarsi with brownish fuscous ; 
anterior and median femora sooty black, with a slight sprinkling of ochreous scales. 
Type 3 (35666); 2 (85667) Mus. Wlsm. BM. (PT. (85668) US, Nat. Mus. ] 
Hab. Mexico: sonora: 1883 (f/. K. Morrison). Five specimens. 
9. Gelechia albipectus, sp. n. 
Antennae pale brownish fuscous. Palpi with the brush on the median joint closely packed, not divided, and 
rather tapering to its apex, sooty black beneath and externally, paler on the inner side, without a pale 
ring on its apex; terminal joint paler, with black dusting. Head pale brownish cinereous, Forewings 
pale brownish cinereous, sprinkled and smeared with fuscous, with a slight indication of four fuscous 
spots—one at one-fifth from the base, small; one in the fold; another on the disc a little beyond 
the latter and partially connected with it by fuscous scaling; the fourth at the end of the cell: the 
usual faintly indicated pale fascia on the outer fifth is scarcely bowed outward; cilia pale brownish 
cinereous, with a strong admixture of fuscous scales in their basal half. Ewp.al.14-15 mm. Hindwings 
- brownish grey, more shaded with brown on their outer half; cilia pale brownish cinereous. Abdomen 
brownish cinereous. Legs pale brownish cinereous; femora ivory-white; hind tibiae dark fuscous 
externally, with a white spot at the base of each pair of spurs. 
Type 2 (35663); ¢ (35665) Mus. Wlsm. BM. [P7. (35664) US. Nat. Mus. ] 
Hab. Mexico: sonora: 1883 (H. &. Morrison). Three specimens. 
Closely allied to nigripectus Wlsm., but all the femora, and the underside of the 
thorax and abdomen (except the anal segments), ivory-white, in strong contrast to 
those of nigripectus which are sooty black. 
10. Gelechia quinquedentata, sp. n. (Tab. II. fig. 19.) 
Antennae simple; pale greyish ochreous. Palpi stone-grey, the terminal joint inclining to ochreous; both 
dusted with greyish fuscous. Head and Thorax stone-grey, dusted with fuscous. Forewings stone-grey, 
dusted and spotted with greyish fuscous; four or five spots on the basal third, one at the extreme base of 
the costa, one on the dorsum at one-fourth, the first margined beneath by whitish scaling; a spot at the 
end of the cell, and one below and beyond it above the extremity of the fold; five tooth-like costal 
spots before the apex, with whitish scaling between them, and a >-shaped whitish mark below them 
pointing to the apex; cilia stone-grey, finely dusted with fuscous. Ewp.al.16 mm. Hindwings and- 
cilia brownish grey. Abdomen brownish grey. Legs pale cinereous, the tarsi broadly banded with 
greyish fuscous. . 
Type 3 (65675) Mus, Wlsm. (Godm-Salv, Coll.) BM. 
Hab. Mexico: Guerrero: Amula, 6000 ft., VIII. (H. H. Smith). Unique. 
11. Gelechia petraea, sp. n. (Tab. II. fig. 20.) 
Antennae brownish cinereous, the basal joint greyish brown. Palpi recurved, somewhat slender ; greyish 
brown externally, paler on their inner sides; the median joint scarcely roughened beneath ; terminal
