in the Indian one pale yellow, and in tlie Hawaiian one 

 (which is also slightly smaller than the two others) nearly pure 

 white. 



B. longella is nearly allied to B. monachella of Europe, but 

 unquestionably distinct. 



30. Blahophanes rusticella (No. 110). 

 Tinea rusticella, Hiibner, Samml. eur. Schmett. v. fig. 335 (1827). 

 One specimen. Honolulu. 



31. Blahophanes ohumhrata, sp. n. (No. 71). 



Primaries above black-brown, with cupreous reflections ; a 

 large patch of greenish testaceous occupying nearly the whole 

 of the basal two thirds excepting at the borders of the wing, 

 and enclosing four black spots in a rhomboidal form — one large, 

 hastate, and within the discoidal cell, the second smaller, 

 triangular, at the end of the cell, the two others small and 

 oval upon the interno-median area ; outer border narrowly 

 whity brown, speckled with blackish ; fringe grey, pale brown 

 at the base : secondaries grey, with cupreous reflections : body 

 testaceous ; head and thorax mottled with black. Under sur- 

 face fuliginous brown, shining, with slight cupreous reflec- 

 tions ; primaries shot with purple. Expanse of wings 

 7| lines. 



One specimen. " Occasionally taken in Honolulu." 



Gelechiidse. 

 32. Depressaria usitata^ sp. n. (No. 69) . 



Primaries above dark shining fuliginous brown ; a fusiform 

 black spot at the base, a rounded spot at the middle, and a 

 transverse spot at the end of the cell ; a slender whitish or 

 pale line at the base of the fringe, followed by a darker line : 

 secondaries silvery grey, with slight cupreous reflections ; 

 fringe traversed by a dusky line and with dusky tips : thorax 

 above shining fuliginous brown; abdomen, greyish brown, 

 with cupreous reflections. Under surface pale shining silvery 

 brown ; costal borders and external border of primaries testa- 

 ceous mottled with grey. Expanse of wings 1 inch. 



Two specimens, probably from Honolulu ; but the exact 

 habitat is not given. Mr. Blackburn says, " I have a single 

 specimen (? ^ ) with the antennae thicker than in those sent, 

 and obscurely pectinated, as in one of the specimens of 73." 

 This species seems to be most nearly allied to D. hadiella.
