204 LORD WALSINGHAM. 



This specimen in Prof. Riley's collection, received from Mr. Chambers 

 as his B. obscitrnfaiiciel/a, is equal to specimens of B. tri/ascie/la, C\em., 

 in my collection, which were named in America, probably from Clemens's 

 type.

Bucculatri* pomifotiella, Clem. Proa. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1860, p. 21 1. 

 Lithornl tetis curvi/ineatella, Pack. Guide, p. 354. 

 Bucculatrix pomonetla. Pack. Guide, 7th edit. p. 354, pi. 8. 



Mr. Chambers (Can. Ent. iii. p 184) rightly suggested that Dr. Pack- 

 ard s fj. curvilineatetla was probably a Bucculatrix. In the 7th edition 

 of the 'Guide' (1880) the name B. pomonelta, Clem., is substituted for 

 L. curvilineate/fn on page 354, although the latter remains in the Index 

 as before. 



The specimens, before me, belonging to the collection of the Peabody 

 Academy of Sciences, Salem, Mass., are, according to my information, 

 the types of L. vitrvi/ineatel/a, Pack. 



Genus MItROPTERYX. 



815. 9Iicr»|»teryx auricyanea. sp. nov.— Head and face rough hoary 

 whitish grey. Antennas missing. Fore wings golden bronzy, streaked and dot- 

 ted with brilliant bright blue metallic, scales set on purple. The most noticeable 

 of these are a series of spots around the apex and apical margin, an oblique streak 

 from about the middle of the dorsal margin, and some blotches towards the mid- 

 dle of the costa and above the anal angle. Cilia bronzy grey. Hind wings grey- 

 ish towards the base, becoming purple towards the apex; cilia light yellowish 

 grey. Expanse 13 millim. 



This species is very nearly allied to M. fastuosella , Zell., but differs in 

 the arrangement of the blue spots, which in fastuosella are much more 

 evenly distributed.
