570 TINEINA. 



3 recurved to the termen ; 7 to below apex ; 10 arising nearer to n than 

 to 9. Hindwings broader than the forewings, apex rounded, termen 

 rounded, but slightly bulged above the tornus. Neuration : 8 veins ; 3 and 



4 connate ; 5 closely approximate to 4 at base ; 6 and 7 separate ; 8 running 

 very nearly to the apex. Abdomen normal. Legs smooth, hind tibiae with 

 a very slight hair-pencil. 



This genus agrees with Lobesia, Gn., in having vein 10 of the forewings 

 nearer to 1 1 than to 9, but differs in vein 5 of the forewings, approaching 

 much nearer to vein 4 at its origin as well as in the excavate costa of the 

 forewings. 



[The genus Lipsotelus being founded on an unpublished species, it is necessary 

 to include here a description of its type : 



Lipsotelus lichenoides, Wlsm. sp. n. Antenna brownish fuscous, a small pale 

 ochreous spot in front at the junction of the basal joint with the head. Palpi 

 brownish fuscous, snow-white beneath to the middle of the median joint. Head 

 brownish fuscous. Thorax brownish fuscous in front, posteriorly shading to dark 

 olive-green ; underside shining snow-white. Forewings dark olive-brown, mottled 

 with black on the basal half towards the costa and shading to dark olive-green on 

 two-thirds of the dorsal half of the wing; the black beneath the costa is divided 

 into two or three irregular blotches, the first very near the base, the second, more 

 or less confused with the third, a little before the middle ; the extreme costa pale 

 ochreous, spotted throughout with black ; the green-shaded dorsal half is reticulated 

 with fuscous, a quadrate patch before the middle and a smaller one beyond it 

 more thickly so than the remainder ; a strong tuft of olive-green scales projects 

 from near the base of the dorsum ; on the apical third of the wing towards the 

 tornus, and on the apical half towards the costa, the olive-brown ground-colour is 

 sparsely dotted with black and sprinkled with rosy steel-grey, especially about the 

 termen, and a slender line of black dots follows the extreme margin ; cilia pale 

 brownish cinereous, with a slender darker shade along their base ; the tornal cilia 

 are touched with fuscous ; underside dark fuscous, the costa brownish ochreous, 

 cilia pale brownish ochreous. Exp. al. 22 mm. Hind-wings dark fuscous ; cilia pale 

 brownish cinereous, greyish fuscous about the abdominal angle ; underside dark 

 fuscous, cilia pale brownish ochreous. Abdomen dark fuscous ; pale ochreous 

 beneath. Legs ochreous, tarsi spotted with dark fuscous.

3679. Lipsotelus albifascies, Wlsm. sp. n. 



Antenna (broken). Palpi white, slightly shaded with cinereous above. 

 Head pale cinereous, face white. Thorax greyish brown, white beneath. 

 Forewings whitish cinereous, shaded and streaked with greyish brown ; 

 a dark greyish brown lanceolate shade runs from the base half-way along 

 the lower edge of the cell, separated by a slender whitish cinereous line 

 from a rather lighter greyish brown shade which occupies the greater part 

 of the dorsum ; the remainder of the wing is sprinkled and shaded with 

 grey and contains several longitudinal brownish streaks and spots, except 

 on the part below and parallel to the costa ; on the costa are a number 

 of oblique, slender, rich chestnut-brown streaks, the apex also is chestnut- 

 brown, and a slender line of the same colour runs along the termen ; cilia 

 whitish cinereous, tipped with brownish ochreous, a black streak running 

 through them at the apex ; underside greyish fuscous, the margins 

 narrowly pale ochreous, a black spot in the apical cilia. Exp. al. 17 mm.
