middle of the costa; a less intense shade, consisting of a profuse sprinkling of fuscous scales, extends 
from the base of the dorsum to the end of the fold, crossing the middle of the fold almost to the upper 
edge of the cell, beyond this again the wing is somewhat sprinkled with fuscous to the apex and termen ; 
the usual plical and discal spots are scarcely distinguishable, but the first discal appears to be a little 
beyond and above the second plical; cilia pale fawn-brown, with a line of fuscous dusting before their 
middle. Exp. al.10 mm. Hindwings bluish grey ; cilia grey. Abdomen and Legs dull grey, the tarsi 
faintly pale-spotted.

Hab, Mexico: vera cruz: Atoyac, IV. (H. H. Smith). Unique. 
2. Dichomeris dignella, sp. n. 
Antennae pale ochreous, distinctly annulate with blackish. Palpi pale ochreous, the outer side of the median 
_ joint dark brown on two-thirds of its area, leaving the edge of the spreading tuft above and beneath 
ochreous, Head and Thorax pale ochreous, both stained along the middle above with greyish fuscous, 
Forewings pale ochreous, sprinkled and spotted with greyish fuscous, of which there is also a distinct 
streak along the base of the costa; the spots are placed thus—one on the upper edge of the fold at one-fifth, 
another on the cell at two-fifths, slightly preceded by a third beneath it, one at the end of the cell, and 
another on the costa at the commencement of the cilia; the sprinkling is scantily distributed, but 
somewhat thickened along the middle of the costa, in a transverse band along the middle, along the 
dorsum as far as the band, and again along the termen ; cilia pale ochreous slightly dulled with fuscous. 
Exp.al.11 mm. Hindwings pale bluish grey; cilia pale brownish grey. Abdomen brownish grey. 
Legs pale brownish grey ; the hind tarsi banded with fuscous.

Very similar in appearance to piperata Wl|sm. (Pr. Z. Soc. Lond. 1891 526: 1897 86), 
but slightly larger, and differing in the more bluntly rounded apex of the forewings, 
and more profuse fuscous sprinkling which leaves no markedly paler space before the 
termen as in that West Indian species. | 
3. Dichomeris lypetica, sp. n. 
Antennae brownish fuscous. Palpt brownish fuscous, the triangular projecting tuft on the median joint 
slightly sprinkled with pale cinereous ; terminal joint pale cinereous above. Head and 7'horax brownish 
fuscous. Forewings narrow at the base, somewhat widened outward, apex slightly depressed, termen 
very oblique; brownish fuscous, very minutely speckled with pale cinereous; the usual group of spots 
scarcely distinguishable in a slightly darker shade of brownish fuscous, the first discal spot a little 
preceding the plical; some obscure shading faintly indicates an anteterminal band, bowed outward at 
its middle, and a terminal line preceding the pale cinereous cilia which are much mixed with fusceous. 
Exp. al. 12 mm. Hindwings and cilia pale cinereous. Abdomen and Legs brownish fuscous ; the 
latter pale cinereous on their inner sides, with faint pale tarsal spots.
