The Professor has not compared Cramer's figure, which seems to me 

 to bear out the Professor's description in having much less yellow 

 and being blacker on the primaries. Wliile Cramer's figure but indif- 

 ferently recalls 0. compta, it cannot possibly represent 0. gemmata. 

 Had Cramer drawn our new Cuban species we might expect a splash 

 of gold color to have represented the fore wings instead of the dark 

 dotted appearance of these in the figure of 0. punctella, judging 

 from his known rough manner of illustration. But we probably 

 have to do with three species, whereof 0. compta from North, is 

 a near ally of 0. punctella from South America, wliile our insular 

 0. gemmata is far prettier, smaller and brighter than either.
