panied, around their edges, by some rust-brown suffusion, especially 



noticeable on the ;ipir;d portion of the wing; at the extreme b.-ise 

 a short yellow streak, which follows the fold, is tjuickly diverted 

 and dilated to the dorsum ; a large pale yellow patch, commencing 

 above its outer extremity on the costa, is attenuated obliquely 

 outward along the cell, ending in a pale ocellate spot at the end 

 of the cell, containing an elongate black dot, a little beyond which 

 an outwardly annulate, narrow, pale yellow fascia crosses the 

 wing; this is produced at either extremity along the margins 

 and around the apex, forming thus a narrow yellowish band 

 enclosing a space of the shape of a blunt arrow-head ; cilia pale 

 yellowish, with two parallel black lines running through them 

 and emphasising the obtusely rounded appearance of the apex ; 

 the pale costal patch throws a slight excrescence across the fold 

 before the middle, but does not reach the dorsum. Exp. al. 10 mm. 

 Ifin<l"'in(j8 leaden grey; cilia brownish grey. Abdomen grey; anal 

 tuft ochreous. Legs ochreous, the tarsi banded with leaden grey.

Among described species this is most nearly allied to nigrato- 

 mella Clnis. and concinusella Chmb., from both of which it differs 

 in the presence of dark dorsal markings ; the pattern is found 

 also in other allied American genera. A single specimen was 

 bred by the Rev. A. E. Eaton from a larva found on dead moss- 

 grown bark of Laurocerasus lusitanica, 7. III., near the Casa del 

 Agua, in the forest of Las Mercedes, 2050 ft. (near La Laguna), 

 011 August 24th, 1904.
