112. (2336'1) Glyphipteryx fortunatella, sp. n. 

 (Plate LII. fig. 18.) 



Antennae bronzy fuscous. Pal'jyi white, spotted with fuscous 

 along their outer sides. Head cupreous. Thorax bronzy f viscous. 

 Foreioings bronzy fuscous, blending to brownish cupreous beyond 

 the middle ; with five distinct white costal streaks, the first, about 

 the middle of the costa, tending obliquely outward, longer than 

 the second, which is a little beyond it, also oblique, but not 

 parallel, tending rather to converge ; after a space, at least equal 

 to that which divides the first pair of streaks on the costa, there 

 follows a series of three shorter streaks, their points slightly 

 converging in the direction of a short, white, curved, terminal 

 incision below the apex ; beyond these the cilia form a sharply 

 uncate apex, owing to the outer extremities of those below it 

 being pure white, while their basal halves are bronzy grey 

 surrounding a black apical spot ; the whitened cilia, after con-
