quantity so as to form an indistinct, pale, irregular fascia at the 

 beginning of the ciliae ; at the apex the ochreous brown again prevails 

 over the white. At the base of the costa the ochreous fuscous is very 

 narrow. Posterior wings purplish fuscous ; under surface and legs 

 whitish, the legs marked with brownish on their anterior surfaces. Al. ex. 

 t 7 c inch. 



L. rufocristatella. N. sp. 



White ; antennre annulate with brown. There is a small reddish 

 ochreous tuft on the disc before ihe middle of the primaries, behind which 

 the wing is suffused with reddish ochreous ; a larger tuft nearly opposite 

 to the first one, and nearer to the dorsal margin, of the same hue with the 

 first one, and another just within the dorsal margin opposite the beginning 

 of the ciliae. Between this last tuft and the costa, and thence to the 

 apex, the wing is suffused with reddish ochreous, sparingly dusted with 

 fuscous. Al. ex. -h inch. Season, July. 



Z. ignotilisclla. N. sp. 



No raised tufts on the wings. Silvery white, the costal margin about 

 the middle dusted with pale purple and ochreous scales : an irregular 

 streak or sinus of spots, which are connected by ochreous brown dusting, 

 begins before the middle of the disc, and extends backwards, spreading 

 over the apical part of the wing. AL ex.Ts inch. Season, September. 



Z. albocapitella. A T . sp. 



Head, thorax and base of the dorsal margin of the wings pure snowy 

 white; antennae purplish fuscous, iridescent; palpi white, stained 

 externally wtth pale purplish fuscous ; the white patch at the base of the 

 dorsal margin of the primaries is posteriorly narrowly margined with dark 

 brown, containing a small raised tuft on the margin. The remainder of 

 the primaries are of an indescribable hue, composed of grayish brown 

 ochreous and white scales intermixed, the former hue predominating, or 

 rather, it is brown streaked with ochreous and sprinkled with white ; there 

 are three small tufts of dark brown raised scales, each anteriorly margined 

 with white, the white followed by a margin of dark brown ; two of their* 

 are on the disc before the middle, the other further back and nearer the 

 dorsal margin, and behind it is a fourth tuft also near the dorsal margin ; 

 there is a short dark brown streak in the apical part of the wing, within 

 the dorsal margin, and a small dark brown spot about the end of the 

 disc. Al. ex. & inch. Season, September.
