to the inner margin. This is followed by another narrower brown stripe near tlio 

 posterior margin, which does not touch the inner border. The white ground colour 

 between is also somewhat mottled with brown. Just in front of the apex are two 

 pale brown spots, and the hind margin is also dotted with the same hue. The fringes 

 are white intersected with brown, and with a dark dividing line. 



The posterior-wings are silvery-grey, slightly brownish by the hind margin, the 

 white fringes (having a somewhat indistinct dividing line) are edged with very pale 

 brown at the apex. Expanse, I62 mm. 



I have one specimen of this pretty species, taken at Lambessa, 



Nemotois constantinella, n. sp. 

 Al(B anticcB aurece, cum ciliis coloris ejusdem ; alee posticce alhidce hyalince 

 linea marginali fusca ; ciliis alhidis. 



The anterior wings are of an uniform golden-bronze, inclining to a coppery tint 

 towards the posterior margin. 



The posterior wings are of a transparent white, with the apex greyish, the pos- 

 terior margin being bordered by a fine brown line. Fringes whitish. 



Expanse, 14 mm. 



This is somewhat nearly allied to prodigellus, but may at once be 

 recognised by its larger size, and by the bronze being of a paler or 

 greener hue. I have two specimens from Lambessa. 



Gelechia algeriella, n. sp. 



Alee anticcB angustce fusco-cinerem strigis duahus centralihus minutissimis 

 nigris ; ciliis cinereis ; alee posticce ciliaque cinerece. 



Anterior wings warm brownish-grey, with the apical portion thickly covered 

 with pale ash-grey scales, interspersed with a few black scales. There is a small 

 dark central dash just on the fold, followed posteriorly by another somewhat nearer 

 the costa, between which spots are more pale ash-grey scales. Fringes grey, with a 

 dark dividing line, extending from the apex for half the length of the fringe. 



Posterior wings grey, deeply emarginate beneath the apex, with fringes of the 

 same hue. 



In the ? the two small dark dashes are quite obsolete, and the grey scaling is 

 very slight indeed. 



Antennae dark grey, head and thorax same hue as fore-wings. Palpi grey in <?, 



very pale in ? , the head is also much paler in the $ . Legs unicolorous, pale 



greyish-brown, the fore-legs being decidedly the darkest. 



Expanse, <? , 20, ? , 21^ mm. 



I have two (^ and one ? , all of which were captured at Lambessa.

Anterior wings greyish-brown, with a small dark central dash in a white streak, 

 followed by a small dark dash in a white streak, which is again followed posteriorly 

 by an indistinct dark dot surrounded with white near the costa. These white
