some specimens ; a blackish discal spot before the middle, another 

 on the fold almost exactly below it, but perhaps a little further 

 removed from the base ; a pair of very inconspicuous chestnut-brown 

 spots on each side of the fold near the base, the lower preceding the 

 upper, and another pair at about the end of the cell, sometimes fused 

 into one spot but not conspicuous ; a series of five small black trian- 

 gular dots — three on the apical margin, one on the apex, and one 

 above it ; cilia pale rufo-cinereous. 



Hind wings reddish grey ; cilia grey. 



Abdomen greyish ; anal tuft slightly paler. 



Legs pale cinereous ; tarsal joints faintly spotted. 



Exp. al. 1 1 millim. 



Hub. West Indies — St. Vincent (Kingstown and windward side, 

 6 specimens, Smith). 



Type, S ■ 



This appears to be a variable species. The spots are almost obso- 

 lete in some specimens, which then appear almost uniform. It is 

 closely allied to Y. pauciguttellits, Clem., but is scarcely more than 

 half the size, the hind wings are also somewhat less transparent.

This species, which was placed in the genera Hyponomeuta and 

 Cryptolechia by Walker, should be removed to Psecadia. I have 

 specimens from Dominica and Bogota received from Mr. Druce.
