 with narrow dark brown border not reaching anal angle, fringe as 

 in primaries : body snow-white, the patagia silvery, the collar 

 slightly stained yellowish, front of forehead brownish testaceous ;

Mombasa, 4th January, 1897. 



Nearest to the Western G. elealis Walk, (of which Phakellura 



peridromella Mab. is a synonym), but with the brown borders to 



the \\ ings considerably narrower ; the excision of the outer border 



at apex of primaries also allies this species to G. albifuscalis Hamps,
