Exp. al. 25-27 m m . Hind wings and cilia pale brownish cinereous. Abdomen pale brownish cinereous. Legs brownish cinereous, tarsal joints shaded with umber-brown. Type, 3 Mus. Wlsm. Hab. West Indies-JAMAICA (Coll. Ragonot). Two specimens received from the late Monsr. Ragonot. 280. MOROPHAGA ? ANGULATELLA, sp. n. Antennce stout, slightly serrate ; shining whitish ochreous, a black spot beneath at the outer extremity of the elongate basal joint. Palpi whitish ochreous, the apical joint somewhat stout, as long as the second, the second joint with a large triangular tuft beneath (as in some species of the genus Ypsolophus, but the tuft is much less compact and more hirsute) shaded with brown externally almost to the outer edge of the tuft. Head brown. Thorax whitish, edged anteriorly with brown. Fore wings narrow elongate, sub-ovate ; creamy whitish, a large brownish-fuscous patch extending from the base along the costal half to one-fourth from the apex, following the fold, its lower edge is angulated upward in the middle, its outer edge passing obliquely to the costa almost parallel with the termen, the costal and terminal margins are mottled with alternate smoky white and brownish fuscous, the cilia suffused with smoky brown. Exp. cd. 16 m m . Hind wings brownish grey, a pale line running along the base of the cilia. Abdomen missing. Legs bone-whitish. Type, 3 Mus. Wlsm. Hab. West Indies-DOMINICA (Point Michell).
