but a different tint to the ivory. Four strong, dark brown spots (of 10—12 scales each) : one on the main radial vein at 1/3 of cell, one at 2/3 (upper angle) of cell, one between them both but nearer to the first just above the fold, finally one above tornus, yet not se near to the one at end of cell as to form a double spot. Ciliae light yellowish with some fawnish scales intruding on them. Hind wings a light, pearly grey, semitranslucent, ciliae light, yellowish grey. Labial palpi porrect, second joint brownish externally, its end whitish, third joint whitish with a small dark dot above. Fig. 7. — Male genital organs.

(= atlanticella Lucas), J : A. oxybiella Mill. Nearest to costobscurella Amsel, but more colorful, also having a basal plical spot and no dark markings on costa at base. Its male genital organ (fig. 8 : B) has a very characteristic and large dorsal appendage, leaning away from the dorsum in its middle. Costobscurella Ams. has an almost identical organ, but the appendage seems to be more erect and narrower. The two species cannot be identical, since — even if we allow for the high variation in pattern usual in the whole Symmocoid group — the two species belong to genera with widely different venation. Indeed, Nestorellus Meyricki Geras., is even more different externally from the above, and still has the very same genital construction. Holotype: Sicilia, Palermo, S. Martino di Scala, 1-12.
