gd. 21mm. Head, palpi, and thorax dark reddish-brown mixed 
with dark fuscous, palpi porrected. Antennal ciliations}. Abdomen 
dark grey. Forewings elongate-triangular, costa moderately arched, 
apex obtuse, termen slightly rounded, vertical ; reddish-fuscous 
mixed with grey and sprinkled with pale greyish-ochreous, tending 
to form transverse striae ; markings dark reddish-fuscous mixed with 
blackish ; a transverse streak indicating edge of basal patch, angulated 
above middle and interrupted above angulation ; central fascia 
moderately broad, not oblique, but with an irregular streak running 
from its posterior edge above middle nearly to a small mark on 
dorsum before tornus ; beyond this are two rather thick straight 
oblique leaden-metallic striae running into a leaden-metallic spot 
which extends over lower half of termen, followed immediately by 
an oblique transverse streak composed of an upper triangular and 
lower trapezoidal spot connected at anterior angles, not quite reach- 
ing termen ; three pairs of pale costal strigulae towards apex : cilia 
reddish-fuscous mixed with grey. Hindwings with 3 and 4 connate, 
5 closely approximated at base; dark grey; cilia pale grey, with 
darker subbasal shade. 
CoLomBiA, San Antonio, 5,800 feet, in November; one _ 
specimen, 
GELECHIADAE. 
OXYCRYPTIS, n. g. 
Head with appressed scales ; tongue developed. Antennae 3, in 
3 simple, basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, 
curved, ascending, second joint relatively short, clothed with dense 
scales, rough beneath, terminal joint much longer than second, 
thickened with dense scales, somewhat roughly expanded posteriorly 
throughout and concealing apex. Maxillary palpi very short, fili- 
form, appressed to tongue. Forewings with 2 from near angle, 3 
and 4 closely approximated at base, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 
from middle. Hindwings over 1, trapezoidal, termen slightly sinuate 
beneath apex, cilia 4; 3 and 4 closely approximated at base, 5 
approximated, 6 and 7 connate, 
Apparently allied to Gelechia, from which it is dis- 
tinguished by the peculiar palpi. 
Oxycryptis attonita, n. sp. 
g.17 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax light ochreous-brownish, 
palpi sprinkled with dark fuscous. Abdomen pale grey, anal tuft
