which it is somewhat dilated ; the apical portion of the wing con- 

 tains two umber-brown costal streaks, the first of which sends out 

 a narrow chestnut-brown line to the termen beneath the apex, the 

 apex itself being dark umber-brown mixed with fuscous scales ; an 

 obliquely asceudiug patch of the same colour, also narrowly dark- 

 margined, rests at its base on the lower half of the termen ; an 

 umber-brown patch within the tornus is preceded and followed by 

 a silvery-grey space ; cilia rich chestnut-brown along their base, 

 their extremities being dark fuscous. Exp. al. 14-16 mm. Hind 

 wings greyish brown ; cilia paler, shaded along their base. Abdo- 

 men greyish brown. Legs whitish cinereous ; hind tibise with .a 

 tuft of hairs beneath (on their iuner sides, along their anterior 

 half); middle femora shining white. 



Type, $ Mus. Wlsrn. 



Hab. West Indies— Grenada (Balthazar, 250 ft., windward 

 side, 15 1II.-20 IV.: nine specimens. — H. H. Smith). 



This species varies considerably in the colour of the fore wings, 

 in some specimens assuming a rich reddish brown (almost ferru- 

 ginous) tint, the thorax matching the colour of the basal half of 

 the wing.

Hiibner proposed Thiodia for his two species citrana and 

 sulphurana ( = rhododendronalis, Dp.) ; and Stephens in 1852 con- 

 stituted citrana the type. The name Gydia cannot be employed 

 for this genus, as its type is Tinea porno nella, L. {vide p. 130).
