226. LlTHOCOLLETIS TENUICAUDELLA, Wlsm. 



Antenna* saffron. Palpi whitish. Head pale saffron ; face 

 silvery white. Thorax pale saffron. Fore wings pale saffron, with 

 four costal and dorsal streaks shining white, slightly dark-mar- 

 gined before and behind : the first two costal streaks are con- 

 spicuous and oblique (the first a little before the middle, the 

 second a little beyond it), the third and fourth costal are very 

 small immediately before the apex, their points turned slightly 

 inwards ; the first dorsal arises on the middle, its apex reaching 

 as far as that of the second costal, but it is much less clearly 

 defined : the second and third dorsal are opposite to the outer 

 costal streaks, but are also indistinct ; a round black spot lies at 

 the extreme apex, a slender smoky line running through the cilia 

 in a half circle beyond it, to which is attached a slender smoky 

 line running straight outward to the end of the cilia, which are 

 slightly marked with white above and below r it ; dorsal cilia 

 greyish. Exp. al. 5 mm. Hind wings and cilia greyish. Abdomen 

 grey. Legs whitish, with faint tarsal spots.

227. Ornix errantella, sp. n. 



Antennce slightly longer than the fore wings ; yellowish grey. 

 Palpi drooping, slender ; whitish cinereous. Head with projecting 

 scales above ; pale cinereous. Thorax pale stone-grey. Fore wings 

 pale stone-grey, with brownish-fuscous longitudinal streaks: the 

 first commencing at the base leaves the costa at one-fourth, ex- 

 tending to the outer end of the cell where it almost joins a 

 sharply-angulated costal streak of the same colour; the second 

 commencing at the base of the dorsum extends to two-thirds the 

 wing-length, its lower edge obtusely biangulated and more sharply 

 defined than its upper edge, which is somewhat diffused ; a slender 

 streak from before the tornus points towards the apex, but is 

 terminated by a reduplicated oblique transverse bar extending 

 outward to the termen, above the tornus, from the commencement 

 of the costal cilia ; the central space between the dark margins 

 of this band is somewhat silvery, and beyond the band the tri- 

 angular apical space left by it contains a dark fuscous spot mar- 

 gined before and beneath by silvery scales, with a short streak of 

 the same from the apex ; cilia brownish grey, becoming whiter 

 towards the apex. Exp. al. 8*5 mm. Hind wings and cilia 

 brownish grey. Abdomen brownish grey. Legs bone-whitish, 

 with faintly mottled tarsal joints.
