 Gelechia palpigera, sp. n. 



Antenna; ochreous. Palpi dark brown, with the apical joint 

 and a spot at the apex of the second joint white. Head and Thorax 

 greyish ochreons. Fore wings greyish ochreous, paler along the 

 base of the costal half ; a brown spot at the extreme base of the 

 costal margin is connected by a slender line along the margin with 

 a brown shade on the outer half of the costa, which, commencing 

 very obliquely, is margined internally by a whitish line, and 

 interrupted about half-way to the apex by a similar, slender, very 

 oblique whitish line running to a whitish subapical patch (not 

 visible in every specimen), below which are a few dark scales at 

 the base of the dorsal cilia ; on the wing-surface a small fuscous 

 spot lies beyond the end of the cell, opposite the base of the 

 second white costal streak ; and in another specimen this is pre- 

 ceded by two similar spots, one on the fold and one on the disk, 

 about equidistant from the other two ; cilia greyish ochreous. 

 Under side unicolorous brownish ochreous. Hind wings and cilia 

 dark grey. Abdomen brownish ochreous. Legs greyish ochreous.
