Gelechia trisignis Meyr. 



(J 2 ■ 16-17 mm. Seven specimens, all differing from the 

 described type-example in possessing more or less dark fuscous 

 suffusion along costal edge of forewings, variable in amount, in the 

 darkest specimen forming a well-marked streak from near base to 

 near apex, and also some dark fuscous scales on tornal edge and in 

 cilia ; they seem however to belong certainly to the same species.
