"25. V. 1903, No. 96006 + slide 14125 BM"; "23. V. 1903, No. 89889 + slide 14128 BM"; "25. V. 1903, No. 96004 4- slide 14131 BM". The types are deposited in the British Museum (Nat. Hist.), London, and the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. The peculiar, serrate fold of the valvae, the digitiform appendix, the falciform sacculus and the structure of the trantillae rather isolate the new species from all of its known congeners. I dedicate the new species to Lord WALSINGHAM, one of the foremost explorers of the Lepidoptera of Algir and the author of a number of Western Mediterranean Symmocids. Pecteneremus decipiens sp. n. Alar expanse: 16 mm (male), 12 mm (female). Head, labial palpi, antennae, thorax, scapulae yellowish grey. Forewing ivory, suffused with light yellowish grey; some fawnish or brown scales scattered in cell and in middle of wing, discocellulars represented only by lower dot; some minute dots on margin around apex; cilia light yellowish grey; Hindwing light grey, cilia yellowish grey. Female slightly lighter in colour, patternless. Male genital organ (Fig. 5) : valval membrane very fine, easily folding longitudinally, no appendix, transtillae conical or elongately triangular, apically hairy, sacculus roughly axe-shaped, internally irregularly crenate, "shaft" straight ; aedoeagus basally wide, then narrow, with a row of spiniform cornuti.
