Genus Cheestotes { = Safra, Walk.). 



Walker founded a genus under the name of Safra upon a 

 species of Crambid from Sliangliai (Cat. Lep. Het. xsvii. 

 p. 195, 1863) ; he subsequently gave the same name to one 

 of the genera of Gelechiidee (Cat. Lep. Het. xxix. p. 785, 

 1864) • the latter therefore requires a fresh denomination. 



39. Chrestotes dryas^ sp. n. (No. 70). 



Primaries above pinky clay-coloured, mottled all over with 

 grey ; these mottlings are most regular along the borders, but

 and obscurely spotted with grey : secondaries silver, with a 

 tarnished appearance ; fringe pale testaceous : thorax reddish 

 clay-coloured ; abdomen greyish brown. Under surface
