CoLEOPnOBA FEMOllELLA, Sp. 71. 



AntenncB white, distinctly annulated with black beyond the basal joint which is 

 somewhat strongly tufted in front. Palpi not tufted ; white. Head white, shaded 

 posteriorly with yellowish. Thorax yellowish, mixed with white scales. Fore- 

 wings straw-yellowish, the costa narrowly silvery-white throughout, including the 

 first half of the costal cilia ; a silvery-white streak runs along the fold from the base 

 but does not reach the dorsum ; a somewhat wider streak commencing on the cell at 

 about one-fourth from the base, where it is almost contiguous to the fold, extends 

 outward nearly to the apex, and is scarcely disconnected from a white line running 

 along the base of the terminal cilia to the apex — along the margin of these silvery 

 streaks some slender brownish scales are sparsely distributed, becoming more plentiful 

 towards the apex itself, especially about the base of the costal and apical cilia ; the 

 dorsum at the extreme base is also marked by a silvery-white line ; cilia pale 

 brownish. JExp. al., 16 mm. Kind-wings shining, pale grey ; cilia pale brownish. 

 Abdomen dark brownish. Sind legs whitish, the somewhat hairy hind tibiae having 

 a slight brownish tinge, the inner sides of the posterior femora being distinctly dark 

 brown.

AntenncB white, delicately annulate, the basal joint not tufted. Palpi dependent, 

 straight; dirty whitish. Sead and thorax pale brownish-cinereous. Fore-wings 

 pale brownish-cinereous, with a faint indication of dirty whitish lines (not traceable 

 along any particular vein), the only one at all clearly defined running along the costa 

 from base to cilia, another appears to follow the fold ; some minute greyish-fuscous 

 atoms are sprinkled over the wing-surface, especially along the cell and towards the 

 apex ; cilia at the apex pale cinereous, beneath the apex brownish-cinereous. Fxp. 

 al., 10 mm. Sind-wings pale cinereous ; cilia pale brownish-cinereous. Abdomen 

 pale brownish-cinereous. Legs pale cinereous.
