26 IN MEMORIAM. 



Jilis antei'ioribus luridis, maculis quatuor obsoletis 

 dilutioribus; alis posterioribus griseo-nigris. 



Exp. al. 4|'". 



Head almost smooth, brownish ; face and hinder margin 

 more yellowish. Antennae rather shorter tlian the body, 

 dark brown; the last third whitish-gi'ey. Palpi as long as 

 the head, brown ; at the base yellow ; the last joint not 

 narrower. Thorax grey-brown. Anterior wings dull 

 luteous, with the cilia of the same colour, and four hardly 

 perceptible paler spots ; the first in the middle of the inner 

 margin, the second on the disk above the anal angle. 



Posterior wings grey- black. Underside of the wings 

 blackish; the cilia of the anterior more yellowish. Abdomen 

 above black-grey ; beneath, as also the breast, silvery-grey. 

 Anal tuft reddish. Legs brownish-grey, rather paler above; 

 tarsi annulated with reddish. 



I have only found this moth twice in the middle of July, 

 on the Alp Laret, at St. Moritz, in the Upper Engadine. 

 It is nearly allied to Q^cojyhora devotella, but easily recog- 

 nized by its much smaller size, whitish tips to the antennae, 

 and the four faint spots on the anterior wings. Probably in 

 some specimens those spots come out more distinctly.
