it is also somewhat similar in the arrangement of its 

 spots to Hyponomeuta fumigatus. Zeller. The most 

 noticeable points of Professor Zeller's description, which, 

 in addition to its larger size, seem to separate his 

 species from the one before us, are as follows : " Alae

Bepresented in Mr. Gooch's collection by a single 

 specimen. It agrees very closely with Professor Zeller's 

 description of the preceding species, H. strigillatus , in 

 which, however, some of the spots would appear to be 

 connected in the form of streaks. The " fovea pellucida 

 valde insignis " of the hind wings mentioned by Zeller is 

 particularly noticeable also in this species.

There are several specimens of different sizes in Mr. 

 Gooch's collection which, without doubt, belong to this 

 species. They were taken at light at Spring Vale in 

 October. Two of these are of a paler, more yellowish, 

 variety than the others, but cannot be considered distinct. 

 The species seems to be at least allied to the genus
