  Walsingiiam

  is 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  Gelechia 
  auriferella, 
  Wkr., 
  from 
  Sierra 
  

   Leone 
  [Cat. 
  Lp. 
  Ins. 
  B. 
  M.,XXX., 
  1022. 
  (1864)], 
  which 
  

   differs 
  from 
  it 
  only 
  in 
  having 
  a 
  pale 
  yellow 
  band 
  ex- 
  

   tending 
  across 
  the 
  wing 
  beyond 
  the 
  middle. 
  The 
  

   colouring 
  is 
  much 
  the 
  same 
  in 
  both 
  species, 
  although 
  

   the 
  darker 
  shades 
  are 
  described 
  by 
  Walker 
  as 
  " 
  cupreous," 
  

   which, 
  perhaps, 
  fairly 
  describes 
  what 
  I 
  have 
  called 
  

   " 
  greyish 
  brown."
