a Genus of Tineidce. 193 



Head and palpi white. Antennae brownish, hardly perceptibly 

 annulated. Maxillary palpi rather short, with loose hairs ; labial 

 palpi shorter than the thorax, recurved, filiform, with somewhat 

 projecting hairs on the underside, especially at the beginning of 

 the third joint, but without a tufted prolongation. The four 

 anterior femora yellowish • brown ; tibiae and tarsi, as well as the 

 whole of the posterior legs, snow-white, spotted with brown, the 

 former colour prevailing in the tarsi, the latter in the tibiae. Ab- 

 domen grey, with yellowish anal tuft (in the $ white beneath), and 

 beneath with whitish margins of the segments. 



" Anterior wings broad, golden-yellow, slightly shining. Of the 

 four costal streaks, the three first have the apices obliquely di- 

 rected outwards, but the fourth has its apex directed inwards. 

 The first at the commencement of the second third of the wing is 

 prolonged in a fine costal line nearly to the base ; its apex, as 

 well as that of the second streak, is abruptly cut off. The third 

 is thin and pointed. The fourth lies rather farther from the 

 third than the three preceding from one another, has the broadest 

 base and curves inwards (with its concavity directed outwards) 

 till before the black spot with a silvery white pupil, at the apex 

 of the wing. The short streak arising from the base of the wing 

 is near the inner margin ; it curves upward beyond the fold of the 

 wing, and is thickened before its apex. The two first dorsal 

 streaks are shorter and rather thinner than the costal streaks, and 

 lie alternately with them ; the first is placed rather more obliquely. 

 The third is a triangular spot, with the apex directed towards the 

 third costal streak, with which (on the left wing of the male) it 

 forms an acute fascia. Beyond the apex of the wing, the ground 

 colour is divided on the cilia into two streaks enclosing a white 

 triangle, the upper streak has at its end a very short hook. Be- 

 neath, the cilia are whitish, towards the anal angle grey. 



" The posterior wings are long-pointed, grey, with paler cilia. 



" Occurs near Vienna, whence the pair described from Metz- 

 ner's Collection come." 



This beautiful little species yet remains undetected in this 

 country.
