= GlypJiijjteryx «jy. Wlsiu. Tr. Eut. Soc. Loud. 1894. 537, 545 sp. 

 39 (1894) (1). 



Antennae bronzy fi^scous. Palpi white, witli black bars across the oiiter 

 side, three on the median, and one on the terminal joint. Head and Thorax 

 pale bronzy cupreous. Forewings dark bronzy fuscous, the colour becoming 

 more intense, almost black, along the margins of the following white streaks : 

 five costal streaks, the first pair on either side of the middle of the wing, 

 rvmning obliqviely ovitward, tipped with iridescent rosy steel-grey, tending to 

 converge about the upper angle of the cell — the first is shorter than the second ; 

 these are followed by a still shorter, outwardly oblique, streak, and, at an equal 

 distance beyond this, by a pair of short converging streaks before the apex ; 

 there is a black, lunate spot at the apex, the cilia beyond it bronzy cupreous at 

 their base, white at their apex, with a small uncate streak running throiigh 

 them at the extreme apex, a white streak forming an incision below the apical 

 spot ; the cilia are of the same i^attern along the termen, with a pale line along 

 their base ; from before the tornus arises an inwardly bowed, erect, silvery 

 white streak, terminated by a bright metallic sheen at its apex, beyond which, 

 before the termen, are three detached, iridescent, metallic spots, but the most 

 conspicuous marking is a strong silvery streak running from the base of the 

 costa along the cell, about the outer end of which it terminates in a slightly 

 attenuate obtuse point, directed upward toward the apex. Ex}). al. 9 — 10 mm. 

 Hindivings scarcely more than half as wide as the forewings ; brownish grey ; 

 cilia tawny grey. Abdomen bronzy broAvnish grey. Legs bronzy fuscous, with 

 the ends of all the joints tipped with white.

6.III.1902, 14.IV.1904 (Eaton). Three specimens. 



A very distinct and somewhat conspicuous species, which I recorded in 



1894 as Glyphipteryx sp., recognising its distinctness but being unable 



to describe it from the badly worn specimen collected by Wollaston ; 



the reception of two fine specimens collected by the Rev. A. E. Eaton, 



at Monte, near Funchal, enables me to supply the omission.
