40. Scoparia medinella, nov. spec. 



Three specimens of 15i — 16^ mm. 



Distinguished by the well-visible, rather oblique, white first 

 transverse line, the pale fascia behind the 8 mark, which, as in 

 Icetella, is connected with a black suffusion on the costa, and the 

 broad black shade along the outside of the first line. Shape of 

 wings as in duhitalis, the fore wings narrower. Palpi black with 

 white base ; head black. Thorax grey, mixed with black. Basal 

 fourth of fore wings black, with bluish grey scales. First line very 

 distinct, bluish white, hardly undulated, rather oblique, its direction 

 as in anibigualis. Markings at first line very indistinct, merged 

 in the above-mentioned broad black siiffusion. Discal mark 

 8-shaped, oblique, filled with bluish grey, connected with costa by 

 a black suffusion ; behind it the bluish white ground colour of the 

 wing forms a curved fascia, which, however, does not reach the 

 inner margin. Second line very slender, its central curve short, 

 flat, its inferior part parallel with hind margin ; towards the 

 base this line is narrowly edged with black. Subterminal band 

 black, with a strongly interrupted whitish subterminal line. Fringes 

 bluish white, with black basal dots. Hind wings shining, pale 

 grey with whitish fringes. Under side of fore wings dark grey, 

 the hind wings whitish with a grey apex, and an indistinct grey 

 discal line.
