Type, $ $ , Mus. Wlsm. 



This species agrees with the North American forms in 

 colour and structure, but the cilia are paler and the 

 wings somewhat narrower, and even more like those of 

 Lithosia than in others of this Lithosiform genus.

 Depressaria inornatella, sp. n. 



Antennce cinereous, tinged with fuscous towards the base. Palpi

 an ill-defined fuscous band of scales before the apex of the second 

 joint, and a smaller one near the base of the apical joint. Head 

 cinereous; face shining whitish. Thorax tawny fuscous. Fore 

 wings cinereous, much spotted, sprinkled, and suffused with tawny 

 fuscous, without the indication of any characteristic pattern or 

 marking, except a small patch of dark tawny fuscous scales at the 

 extreme base of the dorsal margin, and a dark tawny fuscous elon- 

 gate oblique spot lying above and beyond the outer and upper angle 

 of the cell, but not reaching to the costal margin ; preceding and 

 following this are two obscure costal spots of the same colour, and 

 a smaller one lies obliquely between the preceding costal spot and 

 the base of the elongate spot first mentioned ; these, as well as a 

 few other small costal and marginal spots, are very indistinct ;
