Eucosma walkerana sp. nov. 



Expanse 10-12 mm. 



Head, palpi and antenna yellowish-gray, palpi darker gray on ends; thorax 

 gray, abdomen light gray, legs whitish-yellow, powdered with brown. 



Forewing: basal area leaden-black, a middle white fascia, outer two-fifths pale 

 ochreous, slightly ferruginous in apex, mottled with black and darker lines and 

 dots. The basal area on dorsum extends to inner third, its outer edge is slightly 

 outwardly oblique to middle, then angles slightly inward reaching costa at inner 

 third ; it is grayish black, strigulated with darker lines and suffused with whit- 

 ish near base below costa; the extreme costal edge is marked with five or six 

 whitish dots. The middle fascia is only half the width of basal area and is not 

 sharply defined on outer edge, it is constricted on upper third where it is over- 

 laid with gray and two leaden lines from costa. Beyond it is an ochreous-brown 

 fascia of about equal width, only defined on lower two-thirds of wing, on outside 

 edge above dorsum is a blackish brown spot connected by a line with a short ver- 

 tical line of same color on inner edge of fascia, below these dark spots the dorsal 

 edge is gray-brown, on the upper third this fascia diminishes to a line at costa. 

 Beyond the white fascia the costa is marked with four white spots, each contain- 

 ing a blackish dash. The ocellic area is pinkish-white, with vertical shining 

 leaden side-bars, the inner connects with the middle geminate costal spot and the 

 outer with the spot before apex, the connecting lines are often obscure and much 

 broken. There is a large triangular patch of a ferruginous-ochreous in the apical 

 fourth, with a few scattered black scales. Terminal line black, distinct only 

 above ocellic area. Cilia shining leaden, tipped with black at apex. 



Hindwing: light brown, cilia whitish-gray ; underside whitish gray. 



Underside forewing: smoky brown, costal spots repeated.
