Syngamia florella Cr. 
This small, conspicuously colored, pyralid moth has been identi- 
fied by Mr. H. G. Dyar, from a*small lot of moths received in the 
summer of 1901, from Mr. T. G. Gosling. Its front wings are pur- 
plish brown, crossed by three large, conspicuous, golden-yellow spots; 
under wings darker brown, with a subbasal patch and a subterminal 
ovate spot of orange-yellow or deep golden yellow. It is also known 
from Key West. St. George’s, Oct., L. Mowbray.
