is closely allied to Gelechia auriferella, Wkr., from Sierra 

 Leone [Cat. Lp. Ins. B. M., XXX., 1022. (1864) ], which 

 differs from it only in having a pale yellow band ex-

 colouring is much the same in both species, although 

 the darker shades are described by Walker as "cupreous," 

 which, perhaps, fairly describes what I have called 

 " greyish brown."
