Leptocella gemma Miiller. 



In the collection of the M. C. Z. is a set of Miiller's species sent by 

 him to Dr. Hagen. Three species of Leptocella are present, one, 

 Setodes gemvia, has yellow^ wings and silver bands. It is smaller 

 than the species figured as L. gemma by Ulmer (Gen. insectorum, 

 fasc. GO, pi. 37, fig. 8), and there are no series of black dots near 

 anastomosis and the wing is much more yellow, the two silver bands 

 are farther apart, and there is no trace of the third band ; the superior 

 male appendages are deeply forked at tip, each branch of equal length..
