purplish -fuscous, with a broad central ochreous-white stripe. 

 Abdomen ochreous-whitish. Legs dark fuscous, apex of joints 

 and posterior pair ochreous-whitish. Forewings elongate, 

 narrow, acutely pointed ; dark fuscous ; a broad pale whitish- 

 ocbreous streak along inner margin from base to apex, occupying 

 nearly half of wing ; three indistinct small black discal spots, 

 sometimes obselete, first in middle, second on lower margin of 

 dark fuscous portion very obliquely before first, third in disc 

 beyond middle : cilia pale whitish-ochreous, on costa mixed 

 with dark fuscous. Hindwings with apex tolerably acute, hind- 

 margin gently sinuate ; whitish-grey ; cilia ochreous-whitish. 



Characterised by the straight longitudinal separation of the 

 dark costal and light dorsal halves of the forewings, and the 

 colour of thorax. 



Bealey Eiver (2,100 feet), in January ; two specimens. 



11. Gel. pharetria, n. sp. 



Male, female. — 13-17 mm. Head, palpi, thorax, abdomen, 

 and legs, whitish-ochreous ; anterior legs infuscated. Antennas 

 fuscous. Forewings elongate, narrow, acutely pointed ; whitish- 

 ochreous, obscurely irrorated with brownish-ochreous, tending 

 to form streaks on veins, sometimes a more distinct apical 

 streak ; sometimes a few scattered black scales, also tending to 

 accumulate on veins ; three small black discal spots, sometimes 

 almost obselete, first before middle, second on fold obliquely 

 before first, third beyond middle ; apical portion of costa and 

 hindmargin obscurely dotted with black : cilia whitish-ochreous, 

 with two obscure interrupted lines of blackish points round 

 apex. Hindwings with apex round-pointed, hindmargin gently 

 sinuate ; whitish-grey ; cilia ochreous-whitish. 



Closely allied to the following, from which it differs by the 

 brownish irroration, obscure lines on veins, and absence of the 

 dark fuscous median streak ; the hindwings are also somewhat 

 less pointed.
