Show 1897.] WEST-INDIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA. 137 portion of the wing is mottled with rust-brown mixed with blackish scales, forming a subapical transverse streak and a spot opposite to the middle of the termen ; minute blackish speckling is visible in the whitish cilia and along the dorsum as well as in a series of costal reticulations. Exp. al. 8-10 m m . Hind wings pale brownish grey, with a slight pinkish reflection; cilia paler. Abdomen pale brownish grey. Hind legs pale cinereous. Tgpe, 3 Mus. Wlsm.; $ Mus. Hedemann. Hah.

Fore wings shining creamy wiiite, shaded with olivaceous along the basal half of the costa; an olivaceous band, descending straight from the middle of the costa, is angulated on the cell, reverting to the dorsum before the middle, at its angle is a small dot of black scales ; a small, oblique, olivaceous streak commences on the costa halfway between this and the apex, not quite attaining the middle of the termen, along which is a slight olivaceous shade, with a rounded patch of the same colour lying above the tornus and a small brownish dot below and before it at the commencement of the dorsal cilia; cilia shining creamy whitish.

Fore wings whitish ochreous, with three dark fawn-brown costal spots and the extreme base of the costa also fawn-brown; the first spot occurs at one-fourth from the base and almost meets an oblique streak of a slightly paler shade running outwards from the base of the dorsum; the second is large and triangular, a little beyond the middle, its apex pointing outwards and scarcely separated from the apex of a similar dorsal triangle almost exactly opposite to it, but very slightly nearer to the base ; the third costal spot is very minute and less well-defined ; from this runs a paler fawn-brown band, outwardly to the termen below the apex and downwards along the terminal margin to the tornus ; a small brown spot at the end of the cell, almost between the apices of the costal and dorsal triangles, completes the wing-markings, with the exception |
