 second crossing the fold and scarcely ]ireceding tlie medio-costal streak ; the third 

 pi'ecediiig the outer costal streak, but sometimes touching it at its inner point ;

This species has been included in various collections with such 

 series as are supposed to represent Stagmatophora .serrafclla, Tr., but 

 it is somewhat larger and differs from serratella in the much stronger 

 and coarser palpi, and in the much narrower preapical white costal spot. 



In the Zeller Collection there are only three specimens of the 

 smaller form, one of which also comes from Sareptu, but is not the 

 the species above described. In ihc llofmann Collection tiiere are 

 five specimens of the smaller s[)ccies and only two sareptensis. lu 

 the Cliristoph Collection all are sirrepiens/s, but labelled '" serratella^

A fine species with large equidistant air.l approximately similar 

 white costal spots, and two distinct dark rings on the terminal joint 

 of the i)alpi. It is very like heata, VVlsm., but has the basal and 

 median costal spots much larger than in that species.
