The typical specimen has lost its body and palpi ; a 

 redescription of it would, therefore, be useless. It does 

 not appear to me to belong to the genus Depressaria, but, 

 for the reasons above stated, it would be rash to suggest 

 to what genus it might more properly be transferred. 



ENICOSTOMA, Stephens 

 - Enicostoma coarctata, n. s. (PL XL, fig. 20). 



Capite antennis et palpis obscure fusco-griseis, palpis 

 articulo secundo supra squamis elongatis subfasciculato, 

 fusco-griseis. Alis anticis fusco-griseis, punctis duobus 

 scabris ante medium uno in cellula, uno in plica nigris. 

 Posticis quam anticis vix dilutioribus. 



Head, thorax, antennae, palpi, and fore wings dark 

 fuscous-grey, the palpi with the second joint thickened 

 on the upper side, with a somewhat appressed tuft of 

 long scales slightly more developed than in the allied 

 European species, Enicostoma lobelia, W. V. ; the apical 

 joint slender, acuminate, recurved. Fore wings narrower 

 than in E. lobelia, of nearly the same dark fuscous-grey 

 colour, but with only two raised dots of blackish scales, 

 one on the disc before the middle, the other on the fold 

 straight below it. In one specimen is a faint indication 

 of a third spot towards the end of the cell. Hind wings 

 and abdomen scarcely paler than the fore wings. 

 Expanse, 15 mm. 



One specimen from Spring Vale.

There are five specimens of this species in Mr. Gooch's 

 collection. It is especially interesting, as being the
