cate at the extreme tip of the wing. The discal vein is 

 extremely attenuated and short, and gives off a furcate 

 branch very near to the stalk of the subcostal vein. 



Fore-wings narrowly lanceolate. The discoidal ceU is very 

 narrow. The subcostal vein sends off three branches to the 

 costa; the apical vein gives off a branch from its middle and 

 is trifid at its tip. Beneath the apical vein are three branches 

 to the margin beneath the tip, two of which are branches of 

 the median vein, the posterior being only faintly indicated. 

 The submedian is furcate at its base. 



Head smooth. Forehead rounded. Face rather broad. 

 Basal joint of antennae slightly thickened (stalk wanting). 

 Labial palpi slightly curved, depressed, cylindrical, slender, 

 pointed. 



Elachista ? orichalcella. The entire insect is of a beautiful, 

 metallic, cupreous colour. The hind-wings and cilia are rather 

 pale ochreous. 



I have before me a single specimen, badly set but otherwise 

 in good condition.
