38 THE REPORT OF THE No. 36 



6 inches from the ground and 8 inches from the top of the panicle of blossoms. 

 It was fusiform — the length of it was one inch, and the diameter at the widest 

 part half an inch. 



The moths from the galls appeared- on Sept. 12th and Sept. 15th respectively. 



There was not the slightest sign of a web in the galls. 



Each chrysalis case was 10 millimetres long, and was of a clear chestnut 

 brown with the four last segments somewhat darker. The wing cases extended 

 to the end of the sixth abdominal segment. The outlines of the antennae and 

 limbs could be plainly traced in the case. 



• Description" of the Imago. 



Expanse of wings 20 millimetres. Length of body 10 millimetres. Head 

 brown mottled with grey. Palpi recurved (droop in drying) two millimetres long, 

 toothed on the outer edge of the second segment. Antennae 6 millimetres in 

 length, filiform, brown. Thorax and abdomen dark brown — the latter somewhat 

 hoary towards the end. Forewing brown — taken through the length, the costal 

 half of the wing is of a warmer brown than the inner half. The end third of the 

 costal half is beautifully streaked with dark brown and rosy grey. Fringe of 

 fore wing 3 millimetres deep, has a rosy glow towards the outer angle, and is 

 richly marked with minute brown spots. Hind wings dark grey (which dries 

 with a gloss). Fringe light brown, 3^/^ millimetres long towards the base of the 

 wing. Legs : tibia of the hindmost pair set with long hairs — like circular brushes. 

 Joints of tarsi edged wth grey. 



I sent one of my specimens to Mr. W. D. Kearfoot that he might compare it 

 with his moth G. husckiella, and he kindly wrote to me: "It is certainly not husc- 

 hiella. In fact, it has no resemblance to it at all, as it is a species with well de- 

 fined markings, while husckiella is rather evenly and finely peppered all over." 

 . . . " I went through the other named species of Gelechidae, and found 

 nothing that yours can be identified with." 



I do not think this moth has been previously described, and I therefore pro- 

 pose for it the name Gnorimoschema septentrionella.
