DESCRIPTIONS OF SOME NEW SPECIES OF LEPIBOPTERA 

 FROM ALGERIA. 



BY GEOEGE T. BAKER. 

 (Conchided from fage 245.) 



EURTCREON PeCHI, 11. Sp . 



AlcB anticce brunneo-olivacecB ; strigis tribus albidis sed iion ad costam attin- 

 ge)dibus, cum striga centrali acute angulata, et cum striga postica dentata ; strigis 

 duahus albidis ante marginem posticum. AlcB posticce argenteo-cinerece, striga 

 olivaceo-cinerea ante marginem. Cilia albida olivaceo tesselata. 



The anterior-wings are greyish oliye-brown. A short wliite line runs from the 

 base of the wing into an interrupted oblique transverse line very near the base, 

 which (transverse line) extends from the inner margin nearly up to the costa. Just 

 in front of the middle of the wing a very acutely angulated, well-defined, white 

 stripe runs nearly parallel with the first line, and also stops in front of the anterior 

 margin, near which the angulation occurs, this sti'ipe is even more oblique than its 

 predecessor. The white sub-marginal curved line is frequently toothed, and in one 

 specimen rather interrupted ; this again does not extend up to the oosta, and con- 

 verges towards the base, as do the other two lines. Directly beneath the apex is a 

 white spot, which is the source of a very fine white line extending to the inner mar- 

 gin. The dark hind margin is bordered interiorly by a white stripe, the anal angle 

 half of which re-ascends, forming a short double line. 



The fringes are grey, with a divisional line, finely intersected with white. 



The posterior-wings are grey, with the veins darkly dusted, and a broad darker 

 margin, which has a pale line on its inner edge, and is slightly spotted on its outer 

 edge. 



The hind-margin is bordered by a fine dark line. The fringes are wliitish, with 

 a dark dividing line, finely intersected with white. 



Thorax white, with scapulse and central line same colour as the fore-wings, 

 collar and antennae also same colour as fore-wings. Abdomen eilvery-grey. 



I have 2 ^ specimens of this fiDe Ewycreon, whicli was taken 

 rather rarely at Lambessa in April. Measurement, 30 — 31 mm. 



CONCHTLIS TJNICOLOE, n. Sp. 



Alee anticce pallidce flavo-ockracece unicolores. Alee posticce cinerece. 



Anterior- wings pale straw colour, without any markings, and with fringes of 

 the same hue. Hind-wings grey with paler fringes, which have a dark dividing 

 line. Head and antenna? straw colour. Abdomen dark grey, with the anal extremity 

 of a golden hue. 



On the under-side, the anterior- wings are dark lustrous brownish-grey, and the 

 posterior-wings are rather paler than the upper-side. 



Under a good lens, the basal half of the costa is seen to be minutely and darkly 

 dotted. 



Only one specimen of this insect was taken at Lambessa in April, 

 which measures 16| mm., and is in my cabinet.
