Olethreiites wellingtoiiiana sp. nov. """" 



Expanse 18 mm. 



Head: fuscous, hoary-white ou top; palpi cinereous, outer joint dark brown, 

 antenna cinereous; thorax mottled white and fuscous: abdomen yellowish; legs 

 ashy-white, shaded with dark brown. 



Forewing: mottled, white, gray, dark fuscous and black. The darker scales 

 form a fascia across wing beyond middle; the inner edge from costa at middle 

 curving slightly inward to middle of wing; thence more or less distinctly to 

 dorsum ; the outer edge from costa at three-fifths from base, angles outwardly to 

 middle of cell, then obliquely inward to dorsum before angle. It contains a 

 whitish shade in outer angle, and is mottled with black above middle, with an 

 occasional ferruginous scale. Before this is a white fascia, only clearly defined 

 on upper half; before this is a darker shade, not definite enough to call a fascia, 

 it contains four black dots in middle of wing, two above and two below fold. 



The small basal area is slightly paler. Beyond the principal dark fascia, the 

 apical fourth is white, with four indistinct large gray costal spots, the inner two 

 sending a gray shade curving toward terpien then to anal angle. 



There is a row of seven or eight terminal black dots, the three upper ones the 

 most distinct. Cilia grayish-fuscous, with a whitish basal line. 



Hind wing: cinereous-gray, cilia same ; underside same shade but mottled with 

 fuscous. 



Underside forewing dark cinereous gray, costal spots repeated and line at ter- 

 minal dots faintly repeated. 



Two specimens, Wellington, Br. Col., May 19th, collected by Rev. 

 George W. Taylor.
