This has been regarded as Butalis tahidella, H.-S., but on com- 

 parison with authentic specimens of that species in the Zeller collection 

 it is found to be obviously distinct. 



SCYTHRIS MUS, Sp. U. 

 AntenncB mouse-grey. Palpi slaty-grey externally, with a few whitish scales at 

 the end of the median joint, much paler on the inner sides ; apical joint somewhat 

 shorter than second. Head slaty-grey. Thorax slaty-grey, with a slight admixture 

 of paler scales. Fore-wings slaty-grey, profusely sprinkled "with elongate hoary- 

 whitish scales, which are almost entirely distributed over the surface, but perhaps 

 more thickly collected in a patch crossing the fold at about one-third, immediately 

 before and behind which they are almost absent on the fold itself; these whitish 

 scales extend through the slaty-grey apical cilia, below which the terminal cilia are 

 mouse-grey with a slight brownish tinge. Exp. al., 14 mm. Hind-ioings pale grey ;

 but I am unable to regard it as belonging to any hitherto described 

 species.

chestnut-brown mottling and transverse fasciae, all of which are sprinkled, especially 



towards the costa, with blackish scales ; there is no defined basal patch, but the first 



transverse fascia is near the base, ill-defined except on the costa, and immediately 



succeeded by a more clearly defined and wider fascia of the same chestnut-brown 



colour at about one-fifth ; this is slightly bowed outward below the middle, and is
