56 [March, 



brigiit pale oclireous. Thorax and tegulae cream-white. Forewings ereain-wliite, 

 a few glaucous scales before the apex, a small glaucous spot at the eurl of the long 

 median cell and some glaucous scales in the outer half of the apical cilia ; terminal 

 cilia bright ochreous. Exp. al. 25 mm. Hindwings with a conspicuous elongate 

 fenestrum below the base of the cell ; shining, tawny grey, with paler tawny grey 

 cilia. Abdomen ochreous, lawny grey at the base ; underside pale ochreous. Legs 

 whitish ochreous, the hind tarsi suffused with tawny grey.

A single ^J of this very distinct and conspicuous species taken 

 at El-Kautara on May lOtli by Mrs. Gwytherne- Williams, after whom 

 I have named it in acknowledgment of the assistance she has fre- 

 quently given me in entomological excursions. The species appears 

 to be allied to inertella, 7i., but the absence of the distinct spots, and 

 the differently coloured cilia at once distinguish it. It must be very 

 similar to monochreella, Rgt., but this is a much smaller species 

 {Exp. al. 16 mm.).

Antennae (f) shortly biciliate ; basal joint with strong pecten Ocelli absent. 

 Saustellum long, scaled at the base. Maxillary Falpi short, porrect. Labial 

 Palpi i-ecurved, terminal joint not longer than median, smooth, acuminate, reaching 

 about as high as the base of the antennae ; median with a few rough scales beneath 

 at its apex. Head clothed with long scales, ranging forward and covering the face. 

 Thorax smooth. Forewings elongate, lanceolate, rather acute, the apex slightly 

 bent down and subfalcate : Neuration 11 veins, 7 and 8 coincident, to costa ; 6 

 and (7 + 8) stalked ; rest separate, 3 subobsolete ; 1 furcate at base. Hindwings 

 narrower than the forewings, acutely lanceolate, apex slightly depressed : Neuration 

 8 veins, all separate ; 5 about midway between 4 and (i, but slightly approximated 

 basally to 4 ; at about half the length of the cell the radius bends up to the sub- 

 costa, becoming anastomosed with it for about half the remaining length of the cell, 

 thence descending to the discoidal ; media weak, furcate to 5 and 6 between which 

 the discoidal is subobsolete. Abdomen moderate. Legs : hind tibiae slightly hairy 

 above. 



Allied to Apostibes, Wlsm., and Scythris, Hb., but differing from 

 both and from any genus of the Tineina with which I am acquainted 

 iu the anastomosis at about half the cell-length of the radius and 

 subcosta of the hindwings, in which respect it shows a tendency to 

 approach the type of neuration of the Pyralidina, although certainly 

 not related to them. A somewhat analogous character is found iu the 

 ^ of Pammene, Hb. {Olethreutinae) .
