Second joint of tJir palpi scarcely thickened beneath ; third half as long 

 as the second ; acuminate. 



Head, antennae and palpi pale yellowish white ; third joint of the 

 palpi tinged with fuscous. 'J'horax and ])rimaries very i)ale ochreous 

 yellow (under the lens sparsely and minutely dusted with pale reddish 

 ochreous scales) ; two small, nearly circular, blackish spots before the 

 middle, one beneath the fold, the second on the disc, a little behind the 

 first one ; and a larger one of the same hue at the end of the disc, and a 

 row of minute, dark brown spots around the base of the ciliae. Al. ex. 

 ]4 inch. Season, April and ]May. 



G. ilegantella. N. sp. 



Second Joint of palpi scaixely thickened beneath ; third more than half as 

 long as second. 



Palpi white ; second joint yellowish towards the tip, the third with 

 three brown annulations, one at the base, one before the middle, and one 

 before the tip. sometimes connected by a line along the under surface ; 

 head and thorax sordid white or yellowish, slightly iridescent ; base of the 

 primaries white, iridescent, narrow, but wider on the dorsal than on the 

 costal margin ; this is folloAved by an oblique, ochreous or yellowish orange 

 band, which crosses the wing and is margined with brown before and 

 behind, and followed by an oblique white band, which also crosses the 

 wing, and is rather widely margined behind by an iridescent, brown line, 

 terminating at a smooth tuft of raised scales on the dorsal margin, the tuft 

 or rather smooth elevation being metallic and highly iridescent, as also are 

 the brown margins of the ochreous bands ; the dark brown, posterior 

 margin of the second brown fascia is produced backwards along the disc 

 and passes backwards along the disc, inclining towards, but not reaching 

 the base of the dorsal ciliae, and containing three smooth, metallic 

 elevations, like the one on the dorsal margin, the wing between it and the 

 costa being white, and bet)i-een it and the dorsal margin the wing is white 

 and pale ochreous. The oblicjue streak terminates just before the dorsal 

 ciliae at a cur\-ed fascia, which is very convex towards the base, is reddish 

 ochreous on the dorsal margin, and brown on the costal margin. This 

 curved fascia is followed by an oblique one, which is nearest to the tip on 

 the costal margin, and the costal portion of it is wide and white, and the 

 dorsal portion brown, and in some lights is brilliant metallic : the brown 

 portion is nan^ow where it meets the white costal portion, and passes
