240. Comps. strophiella, n. sp. 



Minor, alis ant. ochreo-albidis, punctis disci duobus cum dorso 

 per strigulam connexis, tertio duplici, fasciaque postica saturate 

 fuscis ; post, fuscis ; thorace antice fusco. 



(J 9. 13-17 mm. Head ochreous- whitish. Palpi ochreous- 

 white, second joint with an oblique dark fuscous median band. 

 Antennae ochreous-white, annulated with dark fuscous. Thorax 

 ochreous- whitish, anterior margin suffused with dark fuscous. 

 Abdomen ochreous-whitish. Anterior legs dark fuscous, tarsi 

 ringed with ochreous-white ; middle and posterior legs ochreous- 

 whitish, middle tarsi grey towards base of joints. Forewings 

 elongate, moderate, costa gently arched, apex round-pointed, hind- 

 margin almost straight, oblique ; ochreous-whitish ; extreme costal 

 edge dark fuscous near base ; a blackish-fuscous dot in disc before 

 middle, and a second beyond it on fold, connected by a fuscous 

 shade which extends to inner margin ; two others transversely 

 placed and confluent in disc beyond middle ; a dark fuscous fascia 

 from costa at * to before anal angle, dilated below middle ; a row 

 of dark fuscous dots along hindmargin : cilia ochreous-whitish, 

 beneath anal angle grey. Hindwings fuscous-grey, in 9 somewhat 

 ochreous-tinged towards base ; cilia grey. 



This and the following species are very similar ; G. strophiella is 

 characterised by the fuscous hindwings, slightly ochreous-tinged in 

 the 9 only, the two anterior discal dots less oblique and connected 

 by a streak extending to inner margin, the posterior fascia more 

 remote from hindmargin, and the thorax anteriorly suffused with 

 fuscous.
