ternally. Head and thorax mouse-colour, with paler lines on the margins of the 

 tegulEe. Fore-ioings dull brownish-ochreous, with whitish lines running through 

 them ; one along the costa to the commencement of the cilia ; one along the fold 

 nearly to its outer end ; one along the dorsum ; one from the outer end of the fold, 

 slightly oblique towards the termen, and bent up along it ; two or more others, 

 somewhat confluent, below the outer half of the costa ; costal cilia hoary, terminal 

 cilia mouse-grey with a brownish tint at the apex. ■ Mxp. al., 11 mm. Hind-wings

Hah. : Corsica, Corte. Larva (on ?), V, excl. 11, YI, 1896. 



Case white, witli lines of greyish dusting along it nearly to the 

 apex, which is somewhat flattened laterally, but is not triangular. The 

 mouth is circular, somewhat dilated at the edges, and obliquely placed. 

 A single case found on a rock at Corte in May produced the type on 

 June 11th. This species appears to be allied to artemisioe, Mhlg., but 

 apart from other differences the shorter apical joint of the palpi at 

 once distinguishes it. 



COLEOPHOKA FUSCOLINEATA, sp. n. 

 AntenncB pale cinereous, annulated with fuscous ; not tufted. Palpi with a 

 few projecting scales beneath from the end of the median joint, apical joint more 

 than half the length of the median ; pale cinereous. Head and thorax pale cine- 

 reous. Fore-toings pale cinereous, with speckled lines of dark fuscous scaling at the 

 base of the dorsum, along the fold and along the outer half of the cell to the termen 

 below the apex ; a good deal of similar dark scaling is visible about the apex and on 

 the veins running to the costa before it, a narrow costal shade from the base is of a 

 slightly paler fuscous tinge than the lines below it ; cilia mouse-grey. Fxp. al., 12

Hah. : Corsica, Yizzavona, 9 — 15, V, 1896. 



Eour specimens of this small, dark, but very distinct species were 

 taken at Yizzavona among dwarf juniper on the slopes of the high 

 mountains flying at sunrise, but I have no clue to their food-plant.

SCTTHRIS CONSTANTI, Sp. n. 



Antennce greyish-fuscous. Palpi slender, erect, reaching above the vertex; 

 greyish-fuscous externally, paler on their inner sides. Head and thorax shining 

 fawn-ochreous. Fore-wings : the colour is very peculiar and diiScult to describe (it 

 is of a pale clay-colour with almost an aeneous tinge in some lights ; clay is found of 

 many colours, and the term is one which does not clearly define the tint we wish to
