extremity of the fold ; beyond and above these the costal and terminal margins are 

 studded with groups of blackish scales at the base of the pale fawn-ochreous cilia, 

 through which a slender dark line is traceable around the apex, but not toward the 

 tornus. Exp. al., c? , 9 ; ? , 8 mm. Hind-wings very pale bluish grey ; cilia pale 

 fawn-ochreous. Abdomen rather shining, brownish ochreous. Legs very pale fawn-

Hah.: S. Feance, Perpignan (Pyr. Or.). Larva Lycium europceum, 

 22, V, excl. 7-9, VI, 1899. Six specimens. 



The larva of this species makes small but somewhat noticeable 

 mines in leaves of Lycium europmum at the latter end of May and is 

 as common in the neighbourhood of Perpignan as is Gelechia lyciella. 



The larva leaves the mines to pupate and does not, so far as I 

 have observed, attach the leaves or leading shoots to each other. It 

 appears to be full-fed slightly earlier than the larger species which 

 accompanies it. 



1973 (2). Gelechia (?) octmoidella, sp. n. 



AntenncB black, with very narrow ochreous annulations. Palpi with the 

 median joint black, narrowly tipped with pale ochreous, a whitish line running 

 along the inner side ; the terminal joint whitish, slightly speckled and tipped with 

 black. Head pale brownish ochreous. Thorax black. Fore-wings black, speckled 

 with whitish ; with three pale brownish ochreous patches along the cell ; the first 

 near the base, almost connected with a less conspicuous patch of the same colour at 

 the flexus ; the second about the middle, produced downward at the fold on its 

 inner edge ; the third smaller, at the end of the cell, touching a narrow transverse 

 streak of the same colour which cuts off the apical portion of the wing beyond the 

 cell, this streak is directed inward from the costa to the tornus ; cilia smoky grey, 

 with a few black scales scattered along their base. Exp. al., 10 — 15 mm. Hind- 

 wings pale bluish grey; cilia smoky grey. Abdomen blackish at the base and on the 

 anal segments ; assuming a brownish tinge across the middle, with the posterior 

 edges of the segments marked with whitish lines ; under-side silvery whitish. Legs 

 whitish ochreous, much shaded externally with black speckling.
