Hah.: ALGERIA— El-Kaiitara, 20-23. V. 1903. Two specimens. 



4627 : 1.— TiNEOLA PAEPALELLA, sp. fl. 



Antennae jellowisli wliite, aiimilale with fuscous. Palpi porreet, sparsely 

 bristled beneath ; yellowish white above, fuscous beneath. Head yellowish white. 

 Thorax griseous. Forewings yellowish white, sprinkled with greyish fuscous scales, 

 more noticeably along the basal half of the costa, along the cell tending to form 

 a spot at its outer end, and about the apes ; this dusting is in some speeimens 

 almost obsolete, or confined to the apical area ; cilia whitish, sparsely spi'inkled 

 with fuscous, with a line of fuscous scales running through them. Exp. al., 

 16 — 17 mm. Hindwings (I), slightly iridescent, shining, greyish white, a little 

 clouded towards the apex ; cilia slightly paler. Abdomen greyish. Legs whitish 

 ochreous, the tarsi sometimes faintly touched with grey.

Rab.: A LGEKIA- Biskra, 13.111.1903; HammaQi-es-Salahin, 

 3-15,lV.19U4. Nine specimens. 



A variety of this species, of which two sj)ecimens were taken at 

 the same time and place as the type, and two others a few days later, 

 differs in no respect, except in its paler, more ochreous colour, and in 

 the correspondingly slightly paler hindwings. 



474.— MYRMECOZELA, Z. 



4642 : 2. — Myrmecoze],a desekiicola, sp. n. 



Antennae ^, slightly biserrale ; sandy ochraceous. I'alpi porrect to a little 

 beyond the rough clothing of the face, not deflcxed, terminal joint short, median 

 densely elotiied beneath ; pale sandy ochraceous. Mead and Thorax pale sandy 

 ochraceous. Forewings elongate, subovate, the costa evenly arched ; pale sandy 

 ochraceous, with a few fawn-ochreous scales along the base of the costa, below the 

 fold, and tending to indicate the neuration about the end of the cell ; a more or less 

 conspicuous fuscous spot lies on the fold at half the wing-length, a few groups of 

 scales of the same colour being visible along the dorsum, between the costa and the 

 upper margin of the cell, and about the termcn — these are evidently variable in 

 number and distribution ; cilia scarcely paler than (he wings, slightly dusted. 

 Exp. al. ? 17 — 19, S 22 mm. Hindwings broader than the forewings, tapering 

 upward from the middle to a slightly depressed, obtusely pointed apex; pale, 

 shining, whitish ochreous ; cilia the same. Abdomen and Legs pale sandy 

 ochraceous.
