GrRACILARIA APICEPUNCTELLA, Sp. n. 



AntenncB with the basal joint slightly enlarged ; longer than the 

 fore wings ; very pale cinereous. 



Palpi rather long, dependent, slender ; second joint cinereous, 

 with a darker spot on its outer side at the apex ; apical joint about 

 equal in length to the second, whitish, with a dark spot rather before 

 the middle on its outer side. 



Head very pale cinereous ; face whitish. 



Thorax dirty whitish. 



Fore wings greyish fuscous, obliquely barred with interrupted 

 creamy-white bands along the dorsal half of the wing ; a round 

 black apical spot enclosed in a pale ferruginous apical space, which 

 is narrowly black-margined, its anterior margin straight, its poste- 

 rior margin following the base of the cilia around the apex and 

 apical margin to the anal angle ; the creamy-white bands and mark- 

 ings are distributed as follows : — near the base a small square dorsal 

 spot ; beyond it before the middle a larger spot tending obliquely 

 outwards towards a small subcostal spot before the middle, between 

 which and the base is a second smaller subcostal spot ; a narrow 

 line from before the middle runs along the dorsal margin, and is 

 dilated beyond the middle into a large trapezoidal dorsal patch, 

 which reaches to the inner margin of the pale ferruginous apical 

 space, and diverted to the costa by a narrow line internally and 

 externally dark-margined, its external margiu being the blackish 

 inner margin of the ferruginous space already mentioned ; before 

 this narrow line are three short longitudinal streaks, the middle one 

 almost or quite communicating with a short oblique subcostal streak 

 beyond the middle, near the costal end of which another oblique 

 separate streak arises, which tends backward towards the dorsal 

 margin, terminating above the origin of the narrow dorso-margiual 

 line ijefore the middle of the wing-length ; cilia pale greyish tipped 

 with black, on the dorsal margin pale greyish.
