296 Mr. Newman's Characters 



of all the wings ; fore wings uniformly brown, with concolorous 

 cilia ; hind wings with the disk yellow, the margin and cilia pale 

 brown : beneath, the wings are of the same hues as above, but the 

 yellow is less clearly defined and less intense in hue. 



Only a single specimen taken ; it has no resemblance to any 

 known species. 



Sp. 5. CEcophora Arabella, Newtnan. (PI. XVIII. fig. 4.) 



A lis antlcis fulvis, strigd ante costam alter aqtie ante marg'inem 

 interiorem, fascia obliqud intus pone medium curvatd, ciliisqite 

 nigricantibus ; alis posticis sericatis, fuliginosis, concoloribus. 

 (Alarum dilat. -85 unc.) 



Head and prothorax dull yellow ; palpi and antennae brown ; 

 thorax brown, with yellow markings scarcely susceptible of precise 

 definition until more perfect specimens are obtained ; fore wings 

 divided by an oblique brown fascia beyond the middle, the discal 

 area between this and the base is bright yellow, with a conspicuous 

 brown vitta just below the costa, and a second occupying the inner 

 margin ; beyond the fascia the wing is lead-coloured, the cilia con- 

 colorous ; hind wings uniformly brown, with concolorous cilia : 

 beneath brown, the yellow portion of the fore wings obscurely 

 indicated. 



A single specimen taken ; it has no resemblance to any described 

 species. 



Sp, 6. CEcophora Zitella, Newman. 



A/is anticis fulvis, costa basali nigricante, ciliis fuscescentibus ; 

 posticis fuscescentibus, concoloribus. (Alarum dilat. '7 — 1 unc.) 



Head and antennae fulvous ; maxillary palpi very long, fulvous 

 above the second joint, brown beneath ; thorax and abdomen 

 tawny ; fore wings golden fulvous, with a slender black line on 

 the costa at the base, cilia brown ; hind wings entirely smoky 

 brown, with concolorous cilia : beneath, all the wings uniformly 

 brown, very silky and glittering, the cilia slightly paler. 



Evidently closely allied to our British CEcophora fusco-aurella 

 of Haworth, which Mr. Stainton as well as the late Mr. Stephens 

 regard as identical with Tinea unitella of Hiibner. (See Ins. Brit. 

 Tin. p. 161.) The antipodean insect now described is, however, 

 much larger and paler, and in other respects abundantly distinct.
