new species of Lepidoptera from Algeria. 121 
The posterior wings are of a greyish ochre, with the pearly white 
costal stripe of moderate and uniform width extending right up to 
the apex, where it joins the long white fringes, and gives the wing 
the appearance of being bordered with white along the costa and 
posterior margin. The central stripe, also pearly white, extends 
nearly up to the hind margin; this stripe is widest about the 
centre, where it emits a branch along the fold, forming a fork 
right up to the inner angle; the upper branch widens somewhat 
beyond the division, and then tapers slightly to its extremity. The 
inner margin is pearly white at the base. The apex is not acumi- 
nate in either sex. The hind wings are glossy greyish white, of a 
semitransparent hue, with paler fringes. The palpi are shorter 
than the head and thorax, and are recurved over the face in a 
manner very unlike the erect oblique position usual to the genus. 
Length, gf 22 to 24, 2 26 mm. 
Ten males and one female were captured at Sebdou, all 
of which are in my collection. The species is very nearly 
allied to Honorella, but may readily be separated from 
that species by its forked stripe being broader, longer, 
and very much less silvery; its anterior wings are 
darker and greyer, whilst the hind wings are paler than 
in Honorella. The palpi are also shorter than in that 
species, 
From Galaticella it may at once be distinguished by 
the fold-streak, which forms lhttle more than a tooth in 
that insect ; whereas in mine it makes a long fork right 
up to the inner angle. The colour is decidedly paler 
and greyer than in Galaticella, and this latter insect has 
no white margin at the base of the inner edge of the 
anterior wings. 
Thalpocares Respersa, var. Bythinica. 
This is a very beautiful variety of Respersa, in which nearly all 
the upper surface of the anterior wings is suffused, more or less 
intensely, with rosy mauve, all the usual brown markings being 
almost obliterated and replaced by a shade of the rosy colour ; the 
triancular apical patch is pinkish brown instead of the usual 
darker hue. ‘The posterior wings are almost unicolorous, but 
rather paler towards the base; there is, however, the usual lighter 
transverse line near the posterior margin. The variety is rather 
larger than the parent species. 
Two specimens were taken at Brussa, in Asia Minor, 
one of which is in my collection,
