TINEIDA. 
165. Nemotois aurifera, n. 8. 
Tinachma (Adela) fasciella, Motschulsky (nec fasciellus, 
Fabr.) ; Bull. Mosc. 1866, p. 39. 
Allied to N. raddellus of Europe, about the same size 
and form, but the primaries golden, clouded towards the 
costa and on the disk with reddish cupreous, the costal 
border ultramarine-blue ; a slightly sinuous bluish-bor- 
dered slender yellow transverse band just beyond the 
middle, and a large circular patch of pale yellow scales 
upon the disc, and rather nearer to the apex than the 
external angle ; secondaries smoky brown, with a slight 
purplish gloss ; wings below brown, shot with purple, and 
with a golden marginal line; band of primaries less 
prominent than above ; internal border paler, with silvery 
marginal line; expanse of wings, 9 lines. 
Yokohama (Jonas). 
Also somewhat like Adela degeerella. 
166. Nemotois paradisea, n. 8. 
Nearest to N. decisella; primaries sparkling brassy 
golden, crossed before the middle by a broad ochreous 
belt, bounded on each side by a metallic-silver band ;. 
base of costal border purplish; secondaries bronzy brown; 
head yellow, antenne with the basal two-fifths black, the 
remainder sordid white ; thorax plumbageous ; abdomen 
pale shining brown; wings below bronzy brown ; pri- 
maries purplish towards the costa, band of upper surface 
indistinct, shining like the rest of the wing, but yellowish 
white rather than ochreous; silver bands obsolete; 
secondaries with sordid whitish fringe; body below pale 
brown ; palpi ochreous ; anterior legs slightly cupreous ; 
expanse of wings, 8 lines. 
Tokei (Fenton). 
This and N. decisella are rather broad-winged species ; 
even more so than N. violella.
