Head, face, and palpi white. Antenna^ whitish. Anterior wings 

 white, with a golden-brown streak along the costa from the base to a 

 little before the middle of the wing, wdiere it is deflected, and forms an 

 ol)liquc posteriorly-angulated fascia; near the inner margin at the I)ase 

 is another short golden-brown streak ; in the apex of the wing is a 

 small black spot ; cilia white, but round the apical black spot they are 

 golden, with the tijjs dark fuscous. Posterior wings pale grey, with 

 paler cilia. 



Unique in ]\rr. Weir's collection ; taken on a fence at Camber- 

 well, in June, 1850. 



I am by no means cerlain that it should be referred to this 

 genus, but the structure of the pal})!, which remove it from FJa- 

 chisla, allow of its being placed in tlu^ genus ytrtji/rcHhhi, and the 

 rough head may have been rcnulered invisible by the distorted 

 mocle in which the insect was pinned.
