the costa slightly arched ; the apical margin rather oblique, scarcely indented — creamy white, 
speckled with greyish fuscous on the basal half, which is obliquely margined with bluish 
fuscous, extending over the aj)ical half of the wing, with the exception of a creamy white 
costal triangle, from which some shining steel-blue and silvery streaks running to the anal 
angle enclose the nearly obsolete ocellated spot : cilia purple, with a reddish ferruginous line 
along their base. Hind wings greyish, slightly paler towards the tips, with a slender pale 
line along their base. 4 , 1 ? . Expanse of wings 14 millims.

Auchylopcra spireiefoliana, Clera.. Grote S,- Hob. Trans. Amer. Eat. /Soc. ii. p. 84. 
Head and antennae brownish, the palpi white, with the apical joint scarcely exposed. 
Fore wings — with the costa arched, the apex produced and falcate — white, with a conspicuous 
roddish-brown patch along the dorsal margin, gradually widening from the base to the middle, 
obliquely margined externally ; beyond it is a costal streak of the same colour, running 
parallel to its oblique outer margin, blending with a faint ferruginous shade beyond the 
middle of the wing : three small dark brown (almost fuscous) triangular oblique costal 
dashes, each followed by a minute streak of the same colour, blend into a pale ferruginous 
grey shade, containing two black streaks, which follows the apical margin to the anal angle 
and dorsal margin : there is a conspicuous triangular brownish-fuscous spot at the apex, and 
a minute line below it, dividing the cilia, which are white, with a slender line along their base. 
Hind wings very pale grey or cinereous. Type • Expanse of wings 15 millims. 
Nova Scotia. From Lieut. Uedman^s collection. 
There are two species under the above name in the British-Museum collection. The 
first two specimens of the series are undoubtedly G. discoferana, Walk. ; the last three only

G. discigerana, Walk., is identical with " Anchylopera" spirecpfoliana, Clem., and consider 
G. discoferana, Walk., a synonym of A. dubiana, Clem. I should have been disposed to refer 
the two upper specimens and G. discoferana to sjnreosfoliana, Clem., and to maintain the
