256 April, 



markings form a sort of broken, oblique, whitish shatling from just in front of the 

 apex to the centre of the wing. Immediately before the apex, which is strongly 

 bordered with black, are two very short, oblique, parallel lines. The fringes are 

 dark brown at the apex, becoming whitish at the anal angle, and being tessellated 

 with white. 



The posterior wings are darkish grey, deeply emarginate beneath the apex, with 

 paler fringes. Head, collar and palpi (the latter being slightly tipped with grey) 

 white. Thorax and abdomen as anterior wings. Expanse, 16 — 17 mm. 



This species is somewhat nearly allied to anthemidella, but may 

 be distinguished from it by the decidedly darker and browner hue o£ 

 the fore-wings. The hind-wings are also more deeply emarginate 

 beneath the apex ; also the oblique white stripe from the costa to the 

 hind margin below the apex, usually so distinct in anthemidella, is 

 quite wanting in my insect. 



I have two specimens, both from Lambessa. 



CoLEOPiiOEA Pechi, n. sp. 



AlcB anticcB ciltaque ochrecB ; cumvenis paUidiorihus ; alee posticce ciliaque 

 fusco-cinerecB. 



Anterior wings uniformly ochreous, with all the neuration mapped out in a 

 paler hue of the same colour. Fringes ochreous, with a darker patch on the apex. 



Posterior wings dark grey, with fringes of the same colour. Head, palpi and 

 thorax same hue as the fore-wings, abdomen as hind-wings, with the anal extremity 

 fulvous. The legs are all slightly ochreous. Expanse, 16 mm. 



I regret that I have no case with the only specimen sent me, 

 which was also taken at Lambessa. 



COLEOPHOBA DUBIELLA, W. Sp. 



AlcB anticce albo-margaritacece, striga fiisco-ochracea e basi 07'iente,prope 

 medium Jissa, ranio superiore, majore, ad apiccm currente, inferiore tantnm 

 ad angulum analem margine interiore fusco-ochraceo ; alee posticce ciliceque 

 hyalincB cinerece. 



Anterior wings pearly-white, with a broad, central, longitudinal stripe of 

 ochreous-brown, branched beyond the centre, the upper one extending to the apex, 

 and the lower to the anal angle, the inner margin is broadly bordered with ochreous, 

 except at the base. Fringes brown at the apex, shading rapidly into pale grey at 

 the anal angle. 



Posterior wings lustrous-grey, with fringes of the same colour. Head, face and 

 thorax pure white, antenna; white, annulated with black, palpi slightly greyish, ab- 

 domen fuscus, with whitish legs and tarsi. Expanse, 19 — 20 mm. 



The pistol -shaped case is brownish-white, becoming blackish 

 towards the head. This is enclosed within two beautiful nautilus- 

 shaped lateral covers of a strongly shagreened silky texture, of a 

 greyish hue, becoming brownish near the head. I have three speci- 

 mens from Lambessa.
