acquainted with that work very soon after its completion. If 

 " GlyjjJiijyferya:, nob." of Curtis were an independent creation, the 

 name could not stand, as it was already preoccupied by Hiibner ; 

 and if he were restricting Hiibuer's genus Gliiphipteryx, his action 

 was inadmissible, for Gli/phipten/x linneelJa, Hb. Verz. bek. Schra.

156. GlYPHIPXERTX CATJDATELLA, Sp. n. 



Anfenjice brownish grey. Paljn slender ; whitish. Head and 

 thorax shining olive-brown. Fo7-e winys shining olive-brown, with 

 five short white costal streaklets ; the first two beyond the middle 

 oblique, tending to converge, emitting a steel-blue hue running to 

 the tornus ; the third small and straight ; the fourth and fifth, 

 before the apex, tending to converge at their extremities, the outer 

 one of the two nearly meeting a short subapical white streak below 

 the dark ocellated apex, which contains a white spot within the 

 circular line running through the ciHa and emitting a long uncate 

 dark apical streaklet ; on the middle of the dorsum is a conspicuous 

 white outwardly obUque cuneiform dash, its extremity slightly 

 curved over, and before the tornus is a much shorter one, straighter 

 and less conspicuous ; cilia pale greyish. Exp. al. 8 mm. Bind 

 ivmys and cilia greyish brown. Ahdomen shining oUve-brown. 

 Legs olive-brownish, tarsi spotted and tipped with whitish.

157. Gltphipteryx paeadisea, sp. n. 



Antennce brownish fuscous. Palpi smooth, slender, the second 

 joint about as long as the apical ; dirty whitish. Head and thorax 

 brownish fuscous. Fore ivinys brownish fuscous at the base, richly 

 ornamented beyond ; with a broad triangular dorsal patch at one- 

 third, its apex reaching to the upper edge of the cell; a short 

 scarcely oblique steel-blue costal streak a little beyond it terminates 

 on the cell in a space shaded with orange ochreous, which colour 

 also intervenes between it and a second slightly inverted steel-blue 

 costal streak slightly beyond the middle — the upper extremities of 

 these streaks form white spots on the costa ; from the middle of 

 the dorsum arises a longer steel-blue streak with hlac reflections, 

 its extremity equidistant between the ends of the costal streaks 

 above it ; thence the ground-colour becomes dark greyish fuscous, 

 but is almost entirely superseded by a large brightly decorated 

 patch of black occupying the whole torual angle — its upper portion 

 consisting of a steel-lilac spot, from which radiating lines of pale 

 ochreous dots traverse the black space, its lower portion with 

 three upright equidistant steel-lilac spots, the first larger than the 

 other two ; crossing the apical portion is a strong steel-blue streak
