STENOMA. 167 
26. Stenoma mustela, sp. n. (Tab. VI. fig. 1.) 
Antennae brownish mouse-grey. Palpi whitish, smeared with brownish fuscous on the outer side of the | 
median joint and towards the apex of the terminal, a narrow ring of the same around the base of the 
terminal. Heal pale mouse-grey ; face whitish grey. Z’horax dark brownish mouse-grey. orewings 
whitish grey, suffused and sprinkled with brownish mouse-colour, and with three, oblique, transverse, 
darker brownish fuscous streaks—the first, from the costa at about one-sixth, slightly dilated on the 
fold and on the dorsum before the middle; the second, from before the middle of the costa, slightly 
wavy, passing the outer end of the cell, where it forms a short outward streak, descending to the 
dorsum with some outward suffusion at one-third from the termen; the third streak approaches the 
middle of the termen in its long outwardly oblique curve and reverts to the tornus, a series of somewhat 
connected spots of the same colour following the margin beyond it; the costa is very narrowly clean 
whitish grey; cilia the same, but with a slight shade towards their base. Lap. al. 21mm. Hindwings 
and cilia brownish grey. Abdomen brownish grey. Legs whitish, tinged with brownish grey.

Unique. | | 
This species, although very similar, differs from aphanes Wlsm. in the absence of 
a purplish tinge, and in the position of the transverse lines; also in the whitish, not 
ochreous, narrow edge to the costa. 
27. Stenoma aphanes, sp. n. 
Antennae pale brownish fuscous. Palpi brownish fuscous, the apex of the median joint and the upper side 
of the terminal whitish. Head roughly clothed above; pale brownish fuscous ; face smoother and paler. 
Thorax purplish fuscous. Forewings lilae-grey, the costa narrowly ochreous throughout, with three 
waved transverse brownish lines: the first, at about one-fourth, descending obliquely from the costa to 
the dorsum before the middle—before this, at the flexus, is a patch of long rather raised scales of the 
ground-colour; the second, from beyond the middle of the costa, passing the end of the cell and almost 
coalescing with the recurved lower extremity of the third on the dorsum before the tornus ; a few 
whitish grey scales mark the inner margins of these two by being a little paler than the lilac-grey 
ground-colour, similar scales preceding each of a series of brownish marginal spots on the apex and 
termen; cilia brownish grey at their base, hoary whitish grey on their outer half. Hap. al. 21 mm. 
Hindwings dull brownish grey ; cilia pale bluish grey. Abdomen brownish grey. Legs pale brownish 
grey, with whitish tarsi.

228. Stenoma homala, sp. n. (Tab. VI. fig. 8.) 
Antennae pale golden. Palptr bone-white, shaded along the outer side of the median joint with brown. 
- Head bone-white. Thorax bone-grey. Forewings with the costa arched at the base, straight beyond, 
the apex obtusely rounded, termen scarcely oblique ; bone-grey, with dark brown marginal spots, one 
near the base of the costa, one scarcely beyond its middle, one a little beyond the flexus, and another 
more elongate on the middle of the dorsum 5 a small spot at the end of the cell, another in the fold, and 
a series around the apex and termen are less strongly indicated ; in conjunction with the first dorsal
