246 Lord Walsingham on the Tortricida, 



costa. The third dorsal spot near the anal angle is 

 slightly projected upwards, the second and third costal 

 spots somewhat elongate and inverted; a few fuscous 

 scales appear to mark an obsolete oblique fascia-like 

 streak between the first dorsal and'the first costal spots. 

 Hind wings very pale yellowish cinereous, the outer half 

 of the cilia being even paler. In one variety in my own 

 collection the first dorsal spot is joined to the first costal, 

 and the third dorsal to the second costal. Expanse, 

 1819 mm. 



One specimen in the British Museum from South 

 Africa, collected by Mr. Wilson. 



^Nemophora trigoniferella, n. s. (PL XI., fig. 15). 



Capite et thorace albis ; antennis annulatis. Alis 

 anticis albis, margine costali seneo-brunnea, apicali aureo- 

 flavo, linea in basi ciliorum brunnea; plaga majore 

 dorsali elongate triangulare seneo-brunneo, et strigulis 

 supra angulum analem cum aliis costalibus per lineam 

 argenteam connexis chalybeo-brunneis. Ciliis albidis 

 dimidio exteriore seneo-brunneo. 



Head and thorax white ; palpi short and slender, not 

 reaching beyond the face. Antennse three times the 

 length of the fore wings, annulated, with the basal joint 

 thickened and hairy. Fore wings white, the costal 

 margin conspicuously shaded with golden bronzy scales ; 

 a large elongate clearly-defined bronzy-brown patch 

 commencing near the base of the dorsal margin, in- 

 creasing in width somewhat abruptly at its commence- 

 ment, then gradually, until it forms an acute angle above 

 and beyond the middle of the wing, and ends abruptly 

 somewhat beyond the middle of the dorsal margin, its 

 outer edge being scarcely oblique, the apical margin 

 golden yellow, with a bronzy-brown line at the base of 

 the cilia, and three or four bluish bronzy streaks pointing 

 inwards immediately above the anal angle, connected 

 with three bronzy brown costal spots by a silvery 

 metallic streak. Cilia whitish, tipped with bronzy brown. 

 Hind wings shining pale bronzy brown. Expanse, 

 1617 mm. 



Two males in Mr. Gooch's collection. 



I should not have ventured to describe this species 

 from the two greatly damaged specimens in Mr. Gooch's
