Antennae fawn-ochreous, faintly touched with fuscous above. Palpz pale fawn-brownish, very long, the median 
joint reaching to the level of the vertex ; terminal nearly as long as the median. Head and Thorax fawn- 
brownish. Forewings uniformly fawn-brownish, without spots, but with a very slight shade at the end of 
the cell; cilia scarcely paler, a slender pale ochreous line along their base. Exp.al. 20mm. Hindwings 
pale fawn-brownish ; cilia slightly paler, with a slender ochreous line along their base. Abdomen fawn- 
brown. Legs fawn-brown, hind tarsi faintly tinged with ochreous.

Hab. Muxico: Oaxaca: Salina Cruz (W. Schaus). Unique. 
A large, rather broad-winged species, of uniform colour, with the neuration as in 
the group of speratella Busck. 
2. Glyphidocera elpista, sp. n. 
Antennae fawn-ochreous, transversely banded above with fuscous. Palpi fawn-ochreous, much smeared with 
fuscous on both joints, especially on the outer side. Head and Thorax fawn-ochreous, sprinkled with

Type 2 (5808 Wlsm. Det. 1908) US. Nat. Mus. [PT. (83631) Mus. Wlsm. BM. ] 
Hab. PANAMA, CANAL ZONE: Tabernilla, VI. 1907 (A. Busck). Two specimens, 
both 22. : 
A small species, with the neuration as in speratella Busck—this is its chief 
distinguishing character.
