XYLORYCTID^. 

 Cryptophaga gypsomera, n. sp. 



Male, 52 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, legs, and thorax white, 

 faintly ochreous-tinged, antennal p&ctinations 4, ochreous. 

 Abdomen fuscous, white beneath, segmental margins white,, 

 second segment dull red. Forewings elongate, moderate, 

 hardly dilated posteriorly, costa slightly arched, termen ob- 

 lique ; white, faintly ochreous-tinged, especially along termen ; 

 cilia snow-white. Hindwings with termen rounded, faintly 

 sinuate before anal angle ; fuscous ; costal edgei and termen to 

 middle broadly snow-white ; cilia as in forewings. 



Closely allied to albicosfa, Lew., but the total absence of 

 markings of forewings are sufficient grounds for separating it 

 from that species. The former species varies, but not to any 

 extraordinary extent.
