86 LORD WALSINGHAM ON NEW TINEID^. [Feb. 17, 



described two new species of the genus Lampronia, Zell., from North 

 America, of which no examples, as far as I am able to ascertain, 

 have hitherto been observed in that country. 



Genus Hyponomeuta, Zeller. 

 Hyponomeuta lapidellus, sp. nov. (Plate XII. fig. 1 .) 



Capite, antennis et palpis dilute g7-iseis ; alls anticis saturate 

 plumbeo-griseis, pvnctis sex in dimidio basali, qvatiior in dimidio 

 apicali nigris pallide submarginatis, octo in marginibus apicali et 

 costali dispositis ; posticis subp-iseis ; ubdomine ochreo. 



Head stone-grey, palpi projecting scarcely half the length of the 

 head beyond it, the apical joint rather more than half the length of 

 the second, both stone-grey. Antennae the same. Thorax with two 

 black sjiots in front and one behind ; the wing-coverts tipped with 

 black. Fore wings rather shining, cold stone-grey, with eighteen 

 black spots, indistinctly and narrowly pale-margined, arranged as 

 follows — two rather elongate, below the basal third of the costa, two 

 on the lower edge of the cell, also before the middle, one on the 

 middle of the cell beyond them, and one near the base of the dorsal 

 margin, with a group of four on the outer third of the wing, which 

 are followed by eight marginal spots, of which five belong to the 

 apical and three to the costal margin. Hind wings pale greyish. 

 Abdomen and tuft ochreous. Legs grey. 



Expanse 19 millims. 



Larva pale yellowish ochreous, with a double row of elongate 

 black spots just touching each other on the middle of each segment, 

 and connected by a slender black subdorsal line, except between 

 the third and fourth segment, where it is interrupted by a band 

 of the pale ground-colour. Below the subdorsal Hue is a row 

 of reniform black spots on each segment after the fourth. Head 

 black ; second segment with two brownish-fuscous plates divided by 

 a yellowish line. Anterior legs black ; prolegs yellowish ochreous ; 

 a few single scattered hairs on each segment. 



Received from the Rev. H. Hocking, who found the larvae at an 

 elevation of about 4500 ft. near Dharmsala, July 12th, feeding on 

 "soongroo" (wild salvia). The moths emerged on the Istof August. 



Genus Psecadia, Zeller. 



Psecadia ? CUPREONIVELLA, sp. nov. (Plate XII. fig. 2.) 



Capite et thorace niveis ; paljiis subpurpureis, albo-acuminatis ; alls 

 anticis cupreo-violaceis, guttis sex distinctis aliis aliquot confusis 

 irregulariter dispersis niveis, costce bast cceruleu ; posticis dilute 

 griseo-brunneis, basi alLida ; abdomine grisescenti-brutineo, flocco 

 anali aurantiaco. 

 Head, thorax, and patagia white. Antennae pale greyish brown, 

 the basal joint slightly thickened, dark purplish. Palpi slender, the 

 apical joint rather more than half the length of the second joint, pur- 

 plish, with the extreme tip white ; second joint purplish above, white
