G-ELECHIA TRIATOMEA, MilllUg. 



Alia anticis cinereis, atomis tribus nigris vix conspicuis, fascia 

 clara in margine exteriori et interiori conspicua, medio obsoleta ; palpis 

 obscuris ; anteunis griseis, albido annulatis ; capite, tborace, corpore 

 griseis. 



Fore-wings dark ash coloured, with three black, scarcely percepti- 

 ble atoms, one in the middle, and two perpendicularly-placed towards 

 the apex ; the pale fascia is distinct on the costa and inner margin, in 

 the middle it is almost obsolete. Palpi blackish ; antennse two-thirds 

 the length of the wings, annulated with grey and white. Head, thorax, 

 and the abdomen (which is not flatly depressed), also grey; on the 

 former, behind the base of the antennae, stand two brownish tufts of 

 hair. Marginal line and cilia of the fore-wings dark grey, the margin 

 of the under-wings yellowish, towards the apex subsiding into grey ; 

 the cilia grey. Legs blackish, ringed with white. 



In habit and colour the moth resembles Gelechia Populella, L., but 

 it scarcely attains the size of O. tenebrosella, Zel. 



The first time of its appearance was in the beginning of August, 

 1862. Unfortunately the larva escaped my observation ; the insect ap- 

 peared in a cage, where I fed known species with different plants. I 

 strongly suspect that it was brought in with Gratcegus oxyacantha. 



Gelechia moeosa {Frey. in litt.), Muldig. 



Alis anticis obscure cinereo-griseis, fere nigris, apice alarum squa- 

 mis nonnullis canis adspersa, margine et ciliis obscure griseis. Palpis 

 antennisque nigris, his canis annulatis. Capite, thorace, corpore, ob- 

 scure griseis. 



Fore-wings dark ash-coloured, almost black ; towards the coarsely 

 scaled apex here and there a few pale grey scales stand forth. Palpi 

 and antennae black, the latter with scarcely perceptibly paler annulations. 

 Head smooth, thorax and abdomen dark grey, marginal line and cilia 

 of both pairs of wings dark grey, the legs paler. 



In size the same as the preceding species, but the wings arc much 

 narrower and more pointed.
