not personally acquainted ; Herrlch-ScliafFer gives it as 

 Gelechla pseudospreiellaf vol. v. p. 181, fig. 627. 



Anterior wings broad, rather silky, dark-grey, mixed with 

 paler scales, which become particularly abundant towards 

 the apex of the wing. A faint blackish longitudinal line 

 runs along the disk from the middle of the wing to the apex ; 

 a little before and below the middle of the wing is a short 

 faint longitudinal line, and another still more indistinct at 

 the base of the wing, not far from the costa. Before the 

 cilia, which are nearly concolorous with the wings, and also 

 mingled with darker scales, is a row of indistinct, darker 

 spots, which here and there unite into a line. The under- 

 side is unicolorous grey. Posterior wings broad, rather 

 pointed, little paler than the anterior wings ; the veins are 

 rather darker, the tolerably long cilia of the same colour. 

 The colour of the underside is rather paler than the anterior 

 wings. 



Head with large, appressed, pale-grey scales, sparingly 

 mixed with darker ones. Palpi long (about as in (Ecophora 

 sulphurella), recurved, narrow, grey; the base of the ter- 

 minal joint as well as the fine-pointed tip yellowish-white. 

 Antennae -| the length of the anterior wings, thin, dark grey, 

 faintly annulated with paler. Thorax dark grey, anteriorly 

 with a narrow, darker, transverse line; the sides rather 

 paler. Abdomen grey, clothed with large rounded scales ; 

 the terminal segment yellowish, with a broad protruding 

 ovipositor. Legs long, grey, the darker tarsi narrowly 

 annulated with paler. 



I only found a single specimen at the end of July, on a 

 lichen-covered fir-tree at St. Moritz, near the mineral 

 springs. A second specimen escaped. (1851.)
