the aute-inedian than to the post-inediau costal spot ; moreover, the 

 pale ferruginous, or ochreous, scaling before the middle and the end 

 of the cell is usually far more conspicuous in Ku/natt'Ua than in 

 rosmarinella. 



2228 (4). Symmoca ochreopicta, sp. n. 



Antenna tliick, not tapering ; black, with broad yollowish white rings, more 

 distinct beneath than above. Palpi black, much sprinkled with white on their 

 inner sides ; the median and terminal joints tipped with white. Head blackish, 

 with a few wliite scales. Thorax blackish, sprinkled with white. Fore-ioiiif/s black, 

 sprinkled with white scales in the form of three transverse bands, one near the base, 

 one about the middle, and one at three-fourths from the base — these are in no way 

 clearly outlined or defined, but are merely indicated by the somewhat limited 

 distribution of the scattered white scales ; a strong yellow-ochreous streak starting 

 from near the base follows the upper edge of the fold through the first and second 

 band of white sprinkling and terminates about the lower angle of the cell ; cilia 

 dark smoky grey, with a few white scales scattered along their base. Exp.al.,\0 — 11 

 mm. Hind-wingis tawny fuscous ; cilia smoky grey. Abdomen greyish fuscous. 

 Legs greyish fuscous ; hind tarsi with four white annulations, the anterior and 

 median tarsi also annulate.

This species resembles quadrifarieUa^ Mn., in the three colours 

 represented in the fore-wings, and perha])s somewhat also in the area 

 of their distribution, but in Mann's species the white bands are more 

 continuous and more clearly defined, certainly not consisting of 

 merely scattered scales over the predominating dark ground-colour ; 

 moreover in the true quadrifarielln the white cilia at once distinguish 

 it from my species, the antennte of the ^ are more slender and the 

 palpi much whiter. A (^, one of the three specimens taken by Mann 

 in 1855, is now before me labelled '^Symmoca (imidrifariella, Mann, Z. 

 hot. 55, 5G3 ; " ' Corsica, Mann, lit. 8/55, No. 22," and it should be 

 impossible to confuse the two species although the yellowish streak 

 along the fold is scarcely traceable in the type niid may have become 

 somewhat effaced. My species has also distinctly luirrower wings 

 than quadrifariella and the hind-wings as well as the fore-wings are 

 much darker. 



2228 (6). Symmoca deltcatella, .S7;. n. 



Aiifeniire moderately slender, slightly sei-rate ; yellowish cinereous, shaded with 

 fuscous. Palpi cinereous, the median joint shaded externally with fuscous nearly 

 to its apes, the terminal joint with a fuscous shade around the middle— more
