52. Stenoma menestella, sp.n. (Tab. VI. fig. 5.) 
Antennae greyish fuscous. Palpi (missing). Head and Thoraw dark slaty grey. Forewings elongate, 
moderately straight, apex and termen evenly rounded; dark slaty grey, with a white transverse streak, 
from a little beyond the middle of the costa, running obliquely outward with a slight curve to the 
outer third of the dorsum; on the extreme costa the white scales are diffused inward and outward for a 
short distance, and the streak is a little dilated above the dorsum; there is also a small white spot at the 
apex running through the cilia. Zxp. al. 13 mm. Hindwings and cilia dark brown, whitened along 
the costa toward the base. Abdomen dark slaty grey above, white beneath. Legs shining, silvery 
white, slightly smeared with slaty grey on their outer sides. 
Type 2 (2324) Mus. Wlsm. BM. . 
Tiab. Panama: Panama, 7. X — 26. XI.1881 (J. J. Walker). Unique. 
This species differs from niviliturella Wkr. (Gelechia: Cat. Lp. BM. 30 1020) in 
the face and base of the antennae not being silvery white, and in the costa being 
white only along the middle, not throughout; it is also closely allied to filiferella Wkr. 
(Cryptolechia: Cat. Lp. BM. 29 744 sp. 97).

54. Stenoma lavata, sp.n. (Tab. VI. fig. 6.) 
Antennae diciliate 2; pale ochreous. Palpi white, stained at the base with brownish fuscous. Head white. 
Thorax greyish ochreous. forewings elongate, subovate; very pale brownish ochreous, with the apex 
and termen white, two or three lines of brownish ochreous extending along the veins through the white 
apical space ; below the fold are two, rather oblique, dorsal patches of dark rust-brown, one before, and 
one beyond the middle, a third lying on the upper edge of the fold nearer to the base ; a small spot at 
two-thirds of the wing-length, above the upper angle of the cell, is faintly indicated ; cilia whitish, 
slightly touched with brownish ochreous. Ewp.al.15 mm. Hindwings yellowish grey, with a brownish 
fuscous costal tuft ; cilia white. Abdomen pale brownish ochreous. Legs whitish.

55. Stenoma ostodes, sp. n. 
Antennae biciliate 1; pale bone-ochreous, basal joint greyish fuscous above. Palpi bone-white, the median 
joint greyish fuscous externally. Head and Thora bone-white, with a slight ochreous tinge. Forewings 
with the costa arched before the middle, apex rounded, termen convex, scarcely oblique; bone-white, 
with a very faint suffusion of bone-grey on the dorsal half and in a semicircular shade arising from the 
tornus ; a greyish fuscous spot, at the extreme base of the costa, is followed by another costal spot at 
one-fifth, and before the apex are two faint, elongate, greyish fuscous costal shades; a small, very faint,
