relieved by yellowish shades. Hind wings dark brown. The markings vary in dis- 

 tinctness and are in general fainter and more diffuse in the female, being also more 

 purplish in that sex. The male genitalia have the uncus bent at a sharp angle, the 

 points well separated ; lateral claspers with the tips broadly rounded, with a sharp, 

 widely angled projection on the lower side. The structure is as in Lord Walsing- 

 bam's figure o{ ferruginea (Trans, ent. soc. London, 1887, pi. viii, fig. 15), but 

 the lower projection is sharply angled and ends in a point. Expanse, $ , 32-35 mm. ; 

 9 , 37-42 mm.

Resembles the North American popeanella Clemens, but is larger 

 and more distinctly marked. 



Felderia cassicordis, new species. 



Fore wings gray, mottled with dark brown, showing three large dark patches, 

 two on the submedian fold and one at the end of the cell. Two specimens are so 

 marked, two others are without markings on the wings, uniform silky brown, darker 

 along the costa. Hind wings gray-brown. The male genitalia are essentially as in 

 cossoides Felder & Rogenhofer, but the wings are differently shaped, being narrow 

 and elongate ; the abdomen extends unusually far beyond the hind wings. Expanse, 

 23-25 mm.

 A NEW CLEORA. 



Cleora pexata, new species. 



Antennee bipectinate, apex simple, hind tibia swollen, 2 spurs, with hair pencil, 

 at base of antennae ivory white, body and thorax light ash gray, on each segment of 

 abdomen are twin black dots. Fore wings quite pointed, light ash gray, pinkish 

 tinged, with four wavy notched lines, black in color, running from four black, promi- 

 nent, costal patches. Basal line appears most noticeable on veins, as do all the 

 others, the mesial runs through small discal spot, and runs from there at an angle 

 towards thorax to inner margin, the line making 3 or 4 prominent spots on veins. 

 The extra discal also runs back*at an angle to inner margin being toothed noticeably 

 on veins. The submarginal line is a trifle blacker and more prominent than the 

 others and makes a curve almost parallel with outer edge of wing. There are prom- 

 inent black dots at ends of veins at base of fringe. Hind wings same color as fore, a
