Meyrick's account of the neuration of the hind wings is not 

 quite correct, veins 3 and 4 being emitted from the same 

 point at the posterior angle of the cell, and not remote from 

 each other.

Tinea comptella, Walk. I. c. xxx. p. 1007. 



This is certainly not a Tinea^ the smooth head, smooth, 

 flattened, subquadrate face, the narrow, linear, naked, and 

 widely divergent palpi, combined with the very narrow lan- 

 ceolate hind wings, lead me to consider it as allied to Butalis. 



(842.) Tineal fraudulens^ n. sp. (PI. XI. fig. 12.) 



Head loosely haired, deep yellow ; palpi dark fuscous ; 

 second joint with a few separate stiff hairs ; terminal joint 

 minutely conical. Antennae nearly if not quite as long as front 

 wings, dark fuscous. Thorax dark metallic blackish viola- 

 ceous. Abdomen dark ochreous. Legs dark fuscous. 



Fore wings elongate, lanceolate, bright yellow, with a dark 

 blackish fuscous, oblique, transverse, irregularly bordered 

 fascia irrorated with dark blue metallic scales from f costa to 

 about middle of inner margin, continued round anal and 

 apical angles as an attenuated hind marginal border, the whole 

 forming a Q-shaped mark. Fringes greyish fuscous ; under- 

 side of fore wings and both sides of the rather narrow lanceo- 

 late hind wings dark golden brownish, with purplish metallic 

 iridescence ; fringes of hind wings dark greyish fuscous, 

 about \ breadth of wing. 



Expanse 14 millira. 



I am doubtful as to the true generic position of this species. 

 The antennae seem to me too long for a Tinea^ though it
