Tuis treatise on the Tineina of Central America, although it bears my name, is the combined work of three specialists, of whom the other two have assuredly borne a greater burden of critical labour than myself. Had it not been for the conscientious zeal and ability with which they have applied themselves to the task of coordinating the structural characters on which the classification here adopted has been based, the prospect of imparting full scientific value to this part of the ‘Biologia’ would have been remote. In thanking Mr. August Busck for the invaluable assistance he has rendered, J must not omit also my acknowledgments to Dr. O. Howard, Chief of the Bureau of Entomology, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, who was good enough to grant the necessary permission and to spare his services for some months for this purpose. I regard this as another proof of that open-minded liberality which I have personally found to be an almost invariable attribute of American men of Science. I can only hope that the study of much accumulated material to which he could not have access in the United States, and especially the examination of the types of many important genera in my collections, may have afforded Mr. Busck some slight return for his labour and for having given me the advantage of that very special knowledge of the North American fauna which he alone could bring to bear upon my task. I had written the majority of the descriptions of species several years ago, many of them during absences from home without access to books or collections ; consequently but few had been placed with certainty in their proper genera until my assistant, Mr. J. Hartley Durrant, was able to examine and arrange them. When the more serious work was commenced, it became at once apparent that the lines of classification hitherto adopted, whether in Europe or America, were too involved and incomplete to be safely relied upon in dealing with a fauna practically unknown in relation to this special group of the Lepidoptera, and it was decided to correlate the various systems and to revise the limits of hitherto-accepted family- divisions, continuing the work already done for me by Mr. Durrant in connection with 4 vl INTRODUCTION. a study of the Microlepidoptera of Tenerife published in the ‘ Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London’ [1907 911-1028 Pl. 51-3 (1908) ]. With this object the voluminous publications of Mr. Edward Meyrick on Australian as well as on European and Asiatic Zineina were again carefully consulted. My colleagues and myself have derived the utmost assistance now as in the past from his careful and systematic work. Indeed, whatever criticism may be brought to bear on its details, that work has undoubtedly supplied the guiding principles on which improve- ments in classification have been and may be arrived at in proportion to the amount of new material becoming from time to time available for further study. Mr. Busck and Mr. Durrant have been jointly engaged in a minute examination of a very large number of the types of species in my collections from all parts of the world, in making microscopic slides, and tabulating the numerous genera previously known, as well as those now first described, in a manmer which it is hoped may be found to provide a sufficiently workable key to their structure and development. Mr. Busck has also supplied further material acquired since his return to America. . In any case the value of co-operation in such work must necessarily be great. No uncertainty need exist in future as to what is the precise meaning of the terms used by leading authors on either side of the Atlantic; there cannot fail to be increased confidence between them in the knowledge that both are working on similar lines— their descriptions must be rendered in every way more intelligible to each other and, we may hope, more precise. There has long been a growing conviction that, for generic purposes at least, secondary sexual characters so mach in repute with the older writers could not be relied upon, and in this treatise these have been discarded in favour of distinctions found in both sexes. It is perhaps the first occasion on which this principle has been consistently applied to the classification of the Tineina as a whole. Its adoption has necessarily involved the suppression of a very large number of generic subdivisions, and of the names by which they have been distinguished. ‘his will at first be regarded as a very radical and perhaps presumptuous reform, especially .as here exemplified in the Stenomidae, Acrolophidae, Tortricidae, etc., but, when the modifi- cations of structure on which genera have hitherto been based in these and other families are carefully examined in relation to the vast number of forms in a great continental fauna, they are found to blend one into another by such infinitesimal gradations as to impede rather than to assist a conscientious worker. The genus Felderia, resting upon the strongly bipectinate antennae of the male, and some of Mr. Meyrick’s genera of Oecophoridae, founded upon differences in the length of the antennal ciliations, are cases in point. ‘These characters are modified by such INTRODUCTION. vil innumerable and minute variations as to be quite unreliable for the purpose of logical differentiation. In the Acrolophidae again, as already pointed out (vide pp. 378-80), the position and length of the male palpi, which had been greatly relied upon, vary by the most gradual and perplexing stages, so that it may well be said in words which I extract from a letter in English long since received from the late Professor Zeller “the passages from which to it” form a chain of evidence too strong to be broken down in any attempt to separate extreme forms. In the Tortricidae the costal fold, although a purely sexual character, was a convenient mark of recognition frequently regarded as of generic value ; but this occurs sporadically among many species which, although undoubtedly distinct, present no other structural peculiarities to justify their inclusion in different genera—notwith- standing the fact that this character is apparently consistent in whichever species may possess it. Central American representatives of the Zineina are to be found in at. least 22 families, of which the Gelechiadae with 228 species, and the Stenomidae with 144, afford more abundant examples than others. Among these the Gelechiadae may be said to extend in approximately equal numbers to north and south, although the southern or South American forms are for the most part distinguished from those of the United States and Canada by their affinities to such genera as Strodisia Clms., Anacampsis Crt., and Dichomeris Hb., the first of these unrepresented in Europe, whereas the northern forms are more obviously allied to those of the European fauna. The Stenomidae, again, accompany the Gelechiadae in both directions, but tend strongly to represent the southern rather than the northern fauna, and the same may be said of the Hyponomeutidae ; whereas the Vemophoridae, well represented in more northern latitudes, vanish entirely to the south of Panama, reappearing in certain limited forms to the far south of the continent. The Acrolophidae, strictly confined to the two American continents and to the West Indian Islands, are perhaps pre-eminently tropical, but with considerable southern and northern extension—this very distinctly recognisable family has afforded strong evidence in favour of discarding secondary sexual characters when determining the limitation of genera. The Acrolophidce, after an immense amount of careful work involving the examination of many hundreds of specimens, are found to consist practically of one large genus, represented by many species, in some of which the neuration is so variable as to forbid the establishment of genera upon the numbers, position, or furcation of veins in the radial or median series of the forewings. The species can, however, be distinguished inter se by the length and position of the labial palpi, by the structure of the antennae, and by the Vii ’ INTRODUCTION. form of the genitalia; but all these are secondary sexual characters, and no single character, or combination of characters, is found sufficiently constant throughout any assemblage of species to justify the establishment of a recognisable genus, with the exception of Apoclisis, proposed on account of the peculiarity of the cubital veins of the forewings, and Urbara Wkr., which possesses the same cubital neuration, but is in other respects even more distinct from the typical forms. Greater or less degrees of structural difference are accompanied with remarkable and confusing similarity of markings and general appearance. In the case of the genitalia, the divergences . might even convey an impression that they: have been evolved to prohibit inter-— breeding in instances where, without such precautions, confusion would be expected to occur. Some of these conclusions were not only surprising, but disappointing to a small committee decidedly predisposed to the retention and establishment of ‘separate genera, and we were constrained to admit that if any one of our number, at a distance from the others, had ventured upon such a bold course of amalgamation as has been finally adopted, he might well have been in danger of being regarded by the other two as an entomological crank, whose destructive work served only to stimulate their own preferably constructive tendencies. If any safety is to be found in numbers, we may claim at least the advantage of unanimity, until good evidence can be produced to upset our conclusions, and Mr. Meyrick’s latest papers give us good ground for claiming a general concurrence on his part. It was inevitable that in the course of this study much attention had to be given to questions of nomenclature, and, being responsible for the code known as the ‘ Merton Rules,’ Mr. Durrant and myself were anxious to ascertain on what grounds the members of a recent Zoological Congress had adopted what seemed to be a somewhat arbitrary system of selecting and maintaining Generic names by summary fixation of types without due regard for previous work done by critical authors. The rule that the Type of a genus cannot be regarded as fixed until it has been actually and definitely specified is now being largely adopted in America and perhaps elsewhere, but it is by | no means clear that those who accept this code were made fully acquainted with the reasonable objections to such a course. The main object of any Rules should surely be to secure priority and uniformity: priority not only for names, but for all published results of critical study; uniformity not by mere arbitrary decision, but by the application of unvarying principles which, consistently followed, could only lead to one definite result in each case—a_ result which, while securing priority in the fullest degree, should preserve for each worker the credit of his work until it could be proved to be incorrect. The rock on which the greatest split seems to have occurred has been the adoption INTRODUCTION. . ix of Hiibner’s genera by Stephens in 1834-5. Stephens, admittedly dealing with a local fauna—that of Great Britain,—interpreted many of Hiibner’s genera by the light of such knowledge as he possessed, and it has been contended that he did not claim to be revising the ‘ Verzeichniss’ when he adopted Hiibner’s generic names and applied them to such British species as he recognized among Hiibner’s types; but, as in the case of other critical workers, it can be shown that Stephens was thoroughly acquainted with his subject, and by no means acted in the dark when he selected certain species to which he assigned Hiibner’s generic names. He specially stated that some of Hiibner’s genera required revision, and proceeded to apply his critical. knowledge to the task—in short, he did at least attempt to revise Hiibner’s work so far as the knowledge of the day permitted it and so far as such revision was required for the work in hand. In any case, but largely for this reason, we contend that Stephens’s limitations should be respected by subsequent authors, and this would probably be conceded after a careful study of his writings. We may perhaps go so far as to admit that an arbitrary rule is desirable for the future, but we contend that it should not be, and cannot be justly or advisedly, retrospective. For example, I consider that I should have had no right to cite pomonella as the type of Cydia Hitbner (Pr. Z. Soc, Lond. 1897) if any other author had previously used Cydia with such limitations as had the effect of excluding that species; but Stephens having included pomonella among the three species of Carpocapsa, which he regarded as typical of ( ydia, it was obviously so selected by him and the genus was thus restricted to the type *. | For similar reasons Meyrick cannot, in my opinion, resuscitate Mompha Hiibner for conturbatella after Stephens had disregarded that species in his modified conception of Hibner’s genus. No arbitrary rules can rightly be made retrospective to the detriment of past study. Without such modification the arbitrary fixation of types strikes a death-blow at the whole system of priority, and the work of generations of critical authors is placed at the mercy of any future writer who may perhaps be comparatively unacquainted with the subject on which he writes. Is it too much to hope that by consistently advocating this view, and in each case giving reasons for selecting certain types of the older genera in cases where this has not already been done, we may in the end convince those representatives of inter- national opinion to whom the Rules of Nomenclature may next be referred that they ‘would do well to lay down the principle that the arbitrary fixation of types can have no retrospective effect to the detriment of previous critical study, but can only be taken as applying to the present and to the future 2 * Vide pp. 258-263—cf.

Mr. Busck has generously allowed me to describe and include in our work a number of new species, collected by himself, Mr. F. Knab, and others in the Panama Canal Zone and in Mexico, which were not represented in Dr. Godman’s collections, and these have afforded strong evidence that only the fringe of the subject has as yet been touched, and that the fauna of those regions will prove to be exceptionally rich in species and genera. I am especially indebted to my friend Mr. W. Schaus for some interesting con- tributions to the collection kindly given me many years ago, and the results of his energy are further illustrated in the examples submitted by Mr. Busck from the National Museum at Washington, to which he has so generously contributed. Dr. Godman’s collectors were instructed to obtain insects of all orders, and had not the opportunity to devote special attention to the Tineina; consequently a large proportion of our material has consisted of unique specimens, which is greatly. to be regretted. In the case of these small and often inconspicuous insects, it is specially important that a good series of each species should be secured to facilitate comparison of markings and structure—the latter almost impossible to certify without denudation under the microscope, for which it has sometimes been necessary to sacrifice the half of even a unique example. In the course of our work one point has been made remarkably clear and indisputable. It has been shown by very numerous instances that in the majority of— although, of course, not in all—previous attempts to describe and even to illustrate differences of neuration, whether for generic or special determinations, reliance has been placed on the system of moistening the wings with benzine and examining them with ordinary pocket-lenses of varying power, a system which for some of the main characters is frequently useful and sufficient. This has, however, proved to be the source of innumerable errors, easily detected when the wings are thoroughly denuded and placed under the microscope. I must plead guilty to several errors in the past from this cause, and the same has affected the work of others upon whose descriptions and drawings I have too frequently relied. In the United States this has long been recognised. Dr. Brackenridge Clemens (1860, etc.) and other more recent specialists, notably Mr. Busck, have invariably made microscopic slides where any doubt could exist. In this manner only can the internal veins of the cell, or the different degrees of anastomosis and coincidence in the supporting wing-structure, be intelligibly studied. Such a method can alone supply the necessary evidence for understanding the processes by which gradual changes of development or deterioration have been brought about, and this is becoming more than ever essential to correct study. INTRODUCTION. xi ' It was not originally my intention to transfer my collections and library to the National Museum until this work should have been completed; but the delay that has occurred in the elaboration of references to previous literature, and in the repro- duction of Mr. Frohawk’s excellent figures by lithography at Leiden, combined with other circumstances, rendered it impossible to postpone their departure, and the transference has not accelerated publication. ‘The importance of securing the majority of the types, as such, for our National Museum has not been overlooked, and I should have been better satisfied if this object could have been achieved at an earlier date. The publication of the monograph of the Hawaiian “ Micros,” which was in hand when I first began to prepare a paper for the ‘ Biologia,’ somewhat interfered with its earlier stages, but the great delay which has occurred in bringing this treatise to a successful conclusion has been for the most part due to the earnest desire of Mr. Durrant to carry it beyond its original scope and purpose, and to give it special value for the future guidance of all students of the Microlepidoptera. With this aim in view, he has undertaken far-reaching researches in the literature of the subject. He has looked up as far as possible every reference, not only to the species under consideration, but to the genera in which they have been placed by various authors, tracing the history of each genus, and, where amalgamation has become necessary, the type of each generic name is stated in chronological order, establishing priority which may be confidently accepted as such, unless an error can be subsequently proved. It is perhaps too much to hope that no such errors may henceforth be found, but there has been at least no attempt to suppress information, and the references given throughout should be clearly sufficient to indicate the lines on which further research may safely proceed. During the time that the Collections remained in my possession, when I was able to direct and examine the progress of the necessary comparisons and tabulation of genera and species, it was apparent that this work could not be done without much sacrifice of time and labour devoted to literary research, and the delay involved was even then a source of considerable annoyance and disappointment, not only to the Author and Projector of the ‘ Biologia’ but to myself. I had written a large proportion of the descriptions of new species so long ago as 1895, soon after Dr. Godman’s material was placed in my hands, and at that time I had every hope that a paper on the same lines as others in his great publication might have been completed within a few years at least. From that time onward not only has much additional material been added to the Collection, but much has been published from time to time affecting the questions of classification and nomenclature, as well as adding many species to the numbers recorded from the region included in the scope of the investigation. Since April 1910, when my Collections (including the Godman and Salvin material) and Library were presented to the National Museum, | have been unable to exercise xil INTRODUCTION. any real superintendence over the literary work undertaken by my assistant, and beyond the mere description of a few newly acquired or possibly overlooked species, the task has been left entirely in Mr. Durrant’s hands, and has been prolonged very far beyond my expectation as well as beyond his own. I greatly regret it has delayed the completion of the ‘Biologia’ so earnestly desired by Dr. Godman, but I hope that the thoroughness of the work done and the importance of the advance made in the general study of this interesting branch of entomology may afford some consolation and compensation for the patience with which it has been awaited.

Head and Thorax whitish grey, sprinkled with brownish fuscous; the latter with a few fawn-ochreous scales at the sides and behind. Forewings rosy white, profusely sprinkled with brownish fuscous ; an olivaceous brown patch at the base, much wider on the dorsum than on the costa, its outer edge oblique and somewhat clearly defined, its surface sprinkled, especially towards the base, with whitish scales; at about one- third a strong olivaceous brown costal patch, dilated obliquely outward and downward to the fold, is terminated at its outer extremity by a blackish spot; beyond the middle a triangular olive-brown costal patch is terminated by a line of blackish scales truncating its apex on the cell, where it is joined by a fawn-ochreous patch extending to the dorsum, but sprinkled about the end of the fold with olive-brown scaling ; a short blackish dash cuts the pale fascia beyond the end of the cell, the terminal area being sprinkled with olive-brown leading up to some blackish marginal spots at the base of the greyish ochreous cilia through which run two curved shade-lines enclosing the white apex; there is a small brownish ochreous streak below the fold adjoining the lower edge of the second dark patch; underside somewhat ochreous, profusely sprinkled along the middle with greyish fuscous scaling, not especially noticeable at the base. Exp, al. 10-12 mm. Hindwings rather shining brassy grey, the dorsal half profusely dusted with elongate greyish fuscous scales ; cilia ochreous, tinged with grey, very long on the costa in the 33 underside less ochreous than the forewings, and more profusely scaled with greyish fuscous beyond the base throughout. Abdomen greyish ochreous, much sprinkled with brownish fuscous ; with whitish lines along the margins of the segments beneath. Legs whitish, with strong fuscous sealing in transverse bands across the tibiae, and on the outer sides of the tarsi. . Type $ (65763) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.). [PI'T. (65765, 65770) US. Nat.

Head fawn-brown, mixed with greyish fuscous; the Thorax darker brown, mixed with pale cinereous. Forewings dark fawn-brown, paler along the dorsal half, with a pale patch at the lower angle of the cell; a whitish cinereous fascia leaves the costa at about one-sixth, running obliquely outward to the fold, but not traceable below it—this fascia is somewhat widened, showing a tendency to reduplication by brown scales along its middle ; parallel with this is a short oblique costal streak before the middle, and beyond the middle is another, converging at its apex with a similar inverted costal streak from before the end of the wing, from the inner edge of the first a narrow line of the same colour crosses the fold inward, but: does not reach the dorsum ; between these markings a slight suffusion of blackish scales extends from base to apex, and there are also some shining steel-grey scales about the ends of the second and third costal streaks, and in a small separate patch above the tornus; cilia pale cinereous, with a pinkish tinge, merging to pale greyish fuscous on the dorsum. Hap.al. 11mm. Hindwings and cilia pale greyish fuscous, with a slight rosy tinge. Abdomen brownish cinereous. Legs whitish, with oblique brown tibial and tarsal bands externally. Type 3 (65822, Teapa) Mus. Wlism. (Godm-Salv. Coll.). (PT. (65823) US. Nat. Mus.] Hab. Mexico: Tapasco: Teapa, IL]. (H. H. Smith). Two specimens. This differs from pyrodercia Wlsm. in having more abundant sprinkling of blackish scales, and in the two black patches on the cell ; also in the silvery scaling being very slight and inconspicuous, this, however, may depend somewhat on the condition of the specimens. | 5. Aristotelia dasypoda, sp.n. (Tab. I. fig. 22.) Antennae dark fuscous, spotted with white above. Palpi whitish, with two brownish bands around the median joint, and a fuscous shade-band beyond the middle of the terminal, of which the tip is also fuscous. Head brownish ochreous. Thorax ferruginous, with a steely grey sheen above, and a steel- whitish transverse band posteriorly. Forewings ferruginous, with some black scaling, and three outwardly oblique white streaks from the costa, all more or less mixed with shining steely scales; the first, at about one-fifth, is reduplicated, margined on its inner side with black scales which become concentrated in a spot resting on the fold, and reaches with its lustrous steely apex nearly to the dorsum at one-third; the second, single, reaching to a blackish spot on the fold and produced again below it in shining steel-grey to the dorsum beyond the middle; the third, from a little beyond the middle of the costa, passes on the outer side of a black dot at the end of the cell, to which the steel-grey scaling of the second streak extends, where it meets the apex of a fourth, similar, but inverted oblique white streak, coming from the costal cilia ; beyond this again is some black scaling extending outward to the apex; a small detached steely streak above the flexus, and a few steely scales above the tornus complete the rather confused pattern ; cilia greyish ochreous, shaded with fuscous, some steely scales along their base.

A fair series of suffectella has now been put together, and I am unable to regard the black dusting (which, by the way, does not appear to have caught the eye of the artist) as more than a varietal difference, although in some specimens it is quite conspicuous. 22.

BM. 29 614 sp. 273 (1864) Santarem], and in the material before me the stone-grey costal spot of trochilea is of moderate size and inconspicuous, while in perlatella it is produced to the dorsum as a fascia; moreover, the apical and terminal cilia of the forewings, as well as the cilia of the hindwings, are decidedly paler, and the apex of the forewing itself partakes in some degree of the grey tinge of the cilia which is certainly not the case in perlatella. A perhaps even more reliable difference is to be found in the form of the dark brown colouring which precedes the pale median band—in perlatella this encroaches outward towards the costa, throwing an acute point along the costa to two-thirds, whereas in trochilea this is much more abruptly terminated on the costa at about the middle. The type of secundella Wkr. [Cat. Lp. BM. 29 615 sp. 274 (1864) Ega] which has almost entirely lost (in its present condition) the metallic colouring, described in somewhat similar terms to that of perlatetia (=smaragdulella), approaches perhaps more nearly to the Mexican trochilea Wlsm. than the other two types, in that the apex and cilia are slightly grey, and the oblique dark band rather more abruptly terminated on the costa; but in secundella this band does not recede towards the base along the dorsum as in érochilea, while like perlatella it is a rather larger and stouter species, and the hind tarsi of secundella are white.

[Some uncertainty as to the origin of the type of this and other species has been occasioned by the omission of the localities in connection with the descriptions by Chambers, Cin. Qr. Jr. Sc. 2 244-59 (1875). Hagen (*) records the type of saphi- rinella as from “ Ky.?”, while Busck (*°) writes “It was described from Colorado.” Chambers (J. c. 244) said “the following fourteen species are from California” i. e.—1 Endrosis ferrestrella ; 2 Gelechia lacteus-ochrella ; 3 maculatusella ; 4 thorace- strigella; 5 aequepulvella; 6 thoracenigracella; 7 thoracefasciella; 8 occidentella ; 9 grisseochrella; 10 ochreostrigella; 11 discostrigella; 12 ocherfuscella; 13 Tinea behrensella; 14 niveocapitella; and (J. c. 258) added the information that “'The fore- going descriptions of ‘ Teneina from Texas’ are the conclusion of a series, the remainder of which have been heretofore published in the Canadian Entomologist.” The Texan species would therefore start with the second series of Gelechia, commencing with saphirinella on p. 250 and continuing to the end of the paper.

(his type of aphroditeella, in the Museum of the Peabody Academy of Science, Salem, Mass., was examined in 1881 and this identification confirmed), but proserpinella Frey and Boll was wrongly regarded as synonymous by Busck ai—?) We have compared the type of proserpinella with specimens of iridipennella determined by Clemens, and now recognise proserpinella as a good species, separable from iridipennella without difficulty by the distinct large iridescent dorsal streak, intermediate between the second and third costal streaks; in ¢ridipennella this streak is replaced by four small iridescent spots arranged rectangularly, that on the dorsum, sometimes less conspicuous than those above it, being preceded and followed by others in a more or less continuous series parallel with the termen.

It has long been obvious that the present usage of the geneonyms “ Ypsolophus F. ” and ‘“ Cerostoma Ltr.” must be corrected (vide Pr. Z. Soc. Lond. 1897 86; etc.), but as it was recognised that a study of most of the generic terms involved would have to be undertaken for the purposes of this work the correction has been deferred until now. The chief difficulty has been occasioned by the different application of :—: YrsotopHa Ltr. Préc. Gen. Ins. 145 (1796) no types. Yrsotoruus F, Sppl. Ent. Syst. 421, 505-10 sp. 1-23 (1798).

Ypsolopha and Cerostoma appear both to have originated in Paris, and to have been applied to the same species PhaJaena Tinea vittella L. (=dorsella F., dorsatus F., Ltr.). Latreille [Gn. Crust-Ins. 4 233 (1809)] sunk both Ypsolophus F. and Cerostoma Ltr. as synonyms of § Alucita F. (1781), but *Alucita F. is invalid, being homonymous with Alucita L. (1758); and moreover when Fabricius published Ypsolophus, founded on species removed from *Alucita F., he left only five of its original exponents as possible DICHOMERIS. 89 types of the latter: these are now referred to Adela Ltr., and Nemophora Hb.—it will be convenient to cite degeerella L. as the type of * Alucita F. (nec L.). Latreille having established the synonymy Ypsolophus F. = Cerostoma Ltr. (Type: vittella L.), it is satisfactory to learn from Mr. Busck, who examined the Fabrician types in the Royal Museum at Copenhagen in 1908, that “there are found in their original order only six species under the genus Ypsolophus and all of these belong to Cerostoma” [Pr. Ent. Soc. Wash. 11 89-90 (1909)]. Latreille has been followed by Hiibner, Guenée, Doubleday, etc., in his use of Ypsolophus (Ypsolopha), while Zeller (1839) seems responsible for the erroneous use of Ypsolophus in the Gelechiadae. Stainton adopted Zeller’s nomenclature, but revived Cerostoma Ltr., removing this synonym of Ypsolophus F. back to the Plutellidae (Hyponomeutidae), and in this diverse use of these absolute synonyms he has been followed by subsequent writers (vide Stgr-Rbl. Cat., Dyar’s List, etc.). A return must now be made to the synonymy established by Latreille and it will help to avoid confusion if the orthographic correction be now accepted :— Hyrsttorpaus F.,({Oxf-Camb. emend.) +Yvpsozoravs F.

(Trichotaphe Clms.) are apparently so distinct that two genera have been long maintained for them (with the employment of “ Nothris” in cases of doubt) ; a gradual series of intermediate forms, however, occurs which renders it impossible to draw the dividing line between supposed genera which were only separated by the vestiture of the palpi. The familiar name Zrichotaphe, having served a useful purpose, must now be relegated to synonymy, and it may be emphasised that Nothris Hb., auct. (Type: verbascella Hb., FW: 2-3 separate) is at once separable from Dichomeris Hb. (Ypsolophus, auct., FW: 2-3 stalked) by the neuration, while in this it agrees with Gelechia Hb. (FW: 2-3 separate)—forms with the clothing of the palpi intermediate between Gelechia and Nothris (e.g. Oeseis Chmb.) occur in America and it is doubtful if on this character alone these genera can be separated. 1.

One noticeable difference is to be found in the much more pronounced series of terminal spots, but the black lines along the base of the antennae exist also in reflexella, and possibly in other allied species: Mr. Busck’s knowledge of the larvae of some of these seems to justify the opinion that I was some- what too hasty in suppressing supposed species and including them in the synonymy of those described by Clemens [vide Wlsm.

Hasta and Martyringa differ from Doxa in having FW: 2-3 stalked, the latter also in having HW: 3-4 coincident ; Hyphypena may be distinguished by the clothed terminal joint of the palpi, and by the stalking of HW:3-4. Such species of Peleopoda Z. as resemble Doxa in FW: 9 arising from the stalk of 7-+8, may be recognised by the close approximation of FW: 2-3, by the densely clothed tibiae and tarsi, and by the less recurved palpi with shorter terminal joint.

When discussing the relationship of “ Cryptolechia Z. and its allies” [Ins.

FW: 2-3 remote at origin = Machimia Clms. This method of distinguishing Psilocorsis from Machimia was indicated by Clemens [Pr. Ac. Nat-Sc.

The description of chlorophylla applies in every particular to this species, except that this possesses a ferruginous brown ocelloid spot, narrowly rimmed with ochreous, on the dorsum beyond the middle, immediately preceding the oblique transverse line; while some few ochreous and brown scales are connected with the first discal spot. It is noticeable in the single female specimen before me that vein 2 of the forewings is a little further removed from 3 than in chlorophylla. I had at first suspected these to be sexes of the same species, but without more material, collected in one and the same locality, there could be no justification for uniting them.

Antennae brownish fuscous, a black spot adjacent to the dull whitish basal joint. Pulpit dull white, with three black bands around the median joint, and two around the terminal, on which latter they occupy nearly the whole surface, an oblique whitish line separating them. Head bone-white, a fuscous patch posteriorly, adjacent to the thorax. Thorax bone-white, with two small blackish spots near the base of the tegulae, one median spot behind them, and five marginal spots. Forewings bone-white, much mottled with dark brownish fuscous, and sprinkled with scales of the same colour, between the larger spots and mottlings ; of these, the most conspicuous are three irregular elongate patches, ranged obliquely outward, from below the costa across the cell, to the fold at about half the wing-length—the lower of these rests on the fold, and is preceded by a streak along it from the base, the middle one being preceded by a shorter streak on the cell, and followed by a still larger irregular longitudinal patch, with which it is somewhat confluent, reaching to the termen above the middle; above and below this are small patches of fuscous ETHMIA. 145 mottling, which is also very plentiful below the costa and near the base, and below the fold; a series of three costal, one apical, five terminal and one tornal, squarish black spots precede the bone-white cilia which are streaked with fuscous below the middle.

Palpi evenly and closely clothed throughout; brownish grey, blackish at the base externally. Head white. Thoraw white, with a chestnut spot posteriorly, and a blackish band across the tegulae. Forewings creamy white, with greenish black mottling at the base on the costal half, somewhat mixed with chestnut-brown at its outer edge, a single dark green spot occurring below the fold; the costa beyond the middle is tinged with grey-brown, the same colour being diffused downward along the edges of a broad reddish chestnut median band, crossing the wing and somewhat dilated to the dorsum, showing on its surface several bluish white flecks; the apex is reddish chestnut, also flecked with blue-white, and becoming golden orange along the termen to the dorsum ; the anterior edge of the apical patch is stained with brownish grey, a spot of the same lying between it and the median band, scarcely below the middle; cilia brownish, fading to white at the tornus. Hwp.al.23 mm. Hindwings pale purplish grey, tinged with golden yellow around the apex and termen including the cilia, which fade to yellowish white about the flexus. Abdomen grey-brown above and beneath, broadly white along the sides; anal segments yellowish. Type 2 (65960) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM. Hab. Mexico: puraNco: Presidio (A. Forrer). Unique. This species differs from exornata Z., in the greater concentration of the greenish mottling at the base, in the single spot below the fold, instead of a pair, and in the form of the median band, which in exornata does not reach the costa; it differs also in the limitation of the golden orange to the lower portion of the termen—in exornata this is continued around the apex; the palpi also are less smooth and less white. 10. Ethmia terpnota, sp. n. (Tab. V. fig. 11.) Antennae fuscous. Palpi reaching to the level of the vertex; fuscous, the terminal joint slightly sprinkled with whitish. Head white above, face dark steel-blue. Zhorax white, mixed with brownish grey, a dark steel-blue spot posteriorly, and one on the base of the tegulae.

Lond. 1897 100-1 sp. 112] Cryptolechia tenera Z, was sunk as a synonym of Tinea lacteella F. [Ent. Syst. 3 (2) 313 sp. 116 (1794)|=Pyralis albana F. [Sppl. Ent. Syst 476 sp. 31-2 (1798)], a note by von Hedemann [Stett. Ent. Ztg. 55 300 (1894)] referring Fabricius’ Type to the genus Argyria Hb. (Pyralidina) having been overlooked, Von Hedemann writes: ‘“ In der Fabricius’schen Sammlung des Kopenhagener Museums findet sich ein Exemplar dieser Art unter dem Namen Albana F. Seine friihere Diagnose der Lacteella ist besser als die spatere der Aldana.” It is now obvious that the Fabrician idionym cannot be applied to Cryptolechia tenera Z., which should be known as Stenoma leucana Sepp; Cryptolechia virginalis Btlr. is also a synonym of this species. In Sepp’s Surinaamsche Vlinders (2 Pl. 60) the larva of /eucana is figured as skeletonising the upper side of the leaf of Anona muricata, the pale green pupa standing erect on the black larval skin on the upper surface of the leaf; the abdomen of the imago is tinted pale green. The larva was apparently white, with conspicuous single white hairs, and with three longitudinal black stripes, the dorsal less conspicuous than the broader lateral stripes; the head and thorax are black, with four transverse ochreous triangular spots, the apices of each pair meeting above.

Boisduval and Hampson both attribute Melittia to Walker, but Walker adopted the genus from Hiibner, giving the reference to the ‘ Verzeichniss. Hampson and 192 HETEROCERA. . Beutenmiiller agree in citing satyriniformis Hb. as the Type of Melitta, but this monotypical genus was founded on Sbombyliformis Crmr., which Hampson (Fu. Br-Ind. Moths 1 204 sp. 394) identifies as chalciformis F.—this identification renders unnecessary Hiibner’s neonym anthedoniformis. 1.

Oken [Lehrbuch Naturg. 747-8 (1815)] redescribed Aegeria [F.| dividing it into two subgenera :— a. Trochilium, “ Riissel kurz,” to which is assigned as Type apiformis [Cl.], bem- beciformis [Hb.] being associated with it. | b. Aegeria, “ Riissel lang,” including about 24 species, of which six are prominently mentioned, but the Type must be either ichneumoniformis (S-D.) F., or vespi- formis (L.) F., after the elimination of apiformis (L.) F. by Oken—ichneumoniformis S-D., F., should be cited as Type, the determination of this species being undoubted.

Boica 2 (1) 153-4, 932-5 no. 203 sp. 1897-1402 (1801)] referred all the wood-boring Tineids to Sesia, in which they have been followed by many writers. Type 7: Aegeria (Pyrrhotaenia) floridensis Grt.

Abdomen robust, hairy. Legs: front tibiae with epiphysis almost as long as the tibia; hind tibiae hairy, spurs well-developed. A genus of very robust and Bombyciform appearance, specially remarkable from the much greater development of the antennae in the @ than in the o, but, as the pectinations are biciliate in the ¢ only, the greater development of these pectinations in the 9 is probably merely structural and not functional; Busck records the larvae as living in Polyporus and making cases. The most nearly allied genus is Cnissostages Z. (oleagina Z.), which however differs in having FW: 12 veins, 9-10 stalked, and a furcate internal vein in both wings. [Paratuyris Hb. (“ Pharathyrides”) was founded to include three species: 1641 perspicilla Stoll, 1642 cedonulli (Crmr.) Stoll, and 1643 pandiona (Crmr.) Stoll.

[The specimen is labelled “ Limas,” and was presented as from « Limas, Honduras” by H. T. Stainton, in 1861. In the Stainton Collection are specimens labelled ‘‘Limas, V., Brockholes 1860 ” (401201-17); “ Belise, W.W. Saunders” (401218-21) ; and “Colombia, D. Dyson, W. W. Saunders” (401222-3)—these specimens were probably all collected by Dyson and dispersed. <3 OLETHREUTES. 251 In ‘The Substitute,’ 1: 1856-7 pp. 106-8, is an obituary notice of David Dyson (IV. 1823- 10. XII. 1856), reprinted from ‘The Express’ of 12 December 1856, and, on p. 146, a proposal that lithographed copies of his portrait by a French artist should be offered to subscribers. It would appear that Dyson was originally a weaver at Oldham, that he went to America in 1843, and collected ‘“‘ through the States, across the Alleghany Mountains, and as far as St. Louis,” returning to England in less than twelve months with upward of 18,000 specimens of insects, birds, shells, and plants. ‘He started for Central America on the 17th of September, 1844, and landed at Belize on the 3rd of November. He remained in Honduras till the latter end of 1845, actively engaged in his vocation, aud in the deadly swamps of that country contracted disorders which undermined his constitution, the immediate cause of his return being a sun-stroke at Belize.’ The British Museum seems to have engaged Dyson to make certain collections, and the chief result of this trip was “the addition of many thousand specimens to the British Museum.” In 1846, accompanied by his brother Amos Dyson, he collected for about eleven months in Venezuela for the Museum, “ his collection on this occasion including a great variety of humming birds, moths, beetles and shells”’ After his return to England, Dyson appears to have given his attention chiefly to Conchology, and to have assisted Hugh Cuming, of Gower Street ; he succeeded Louis Fraser as curator of the Earl of Derby’s collections, at Knowsley. Dyson amassed a private collection of about 20,060 shells, belonging to 10,000 species, and, in 1850, he published at Manchester a 12mo of 96 pp. on ‘The Land and Fresh Water Shells of the districts around Manchester.’ Mrs. Ives published a further obituary notice, with portrait of Dyson | Proc. Manchester Field Club 1:1900-1 pp. 238-40 Pl. 11 (1905) ], from which we learn that ‘ David Dyson became an author, which was the more surprising as to the day of his death he did not know how to read or to write. When the authorities of the British Museum asked him by what method he distinguished natural history objects from each other, he tcld them that he had a mode of writing of his own, a kind of hieroglyphic marking understood only by himself.” !! It would seem that the full record for Walker’s species described as from “ Honduras” or from “Limas ” should be British Honpuras: Limas, near Belize, 1844-5 (D. Dyson), but some specimens had been previously acquired from Miller, in 1839——there is no reason ‘to suppose that these were not frora Belize. The actual locality “ Limas” is probably Lime Walk (Labouring Creek), north-west of Belize.— Drnt. | 6. Olethreutes albimacula Wism. Cacocharis albimacula Wlsm. Pr. Z.

Hooker! wrote, in 1854:—“If asked to guess at the plant to which the. seed belongs, I should say, to some species of Colliguaya (and very probably to the Colliguaya odorifera, Hook.) a common shrub on the coast of Chili.” Westwood doubtless ascertained that “ Colliguaja” was the native name of the plant, but this was evidently a Chilian name applied to a Chilian plant, and there appears to be no evidence to support the statement that “the plant is known by the Mexicans as ‘ Colliguaja’” (Riley). The genus Coldiguaja Molina is confined to South America, and the mere suggestion made by Hooker, in 1854, would seem to be the only foun- dation for the general assumption that deshaisiana is in any way associated with Colliguaja odorifera Molina (=Croton colliguaja Sprengel).

This is one of the most remarkable instances I have ever met with in which the general appearance and markings of two distinct species are so absolutely deceiving. The slight differences noticed in the above description are perfectly consistent throughout a series of twelve specimens from various localities in which the closely allied fuesslyana Stoll. (twenty-one specimens) also occurs. In their flight they must be inextricably mixed, but I have seen no intermediate varieties and the genital appendages of the ¢ are not alike. ‘The black palpi and the disconnected subapical metallic streaks at right angles to each other are the two points in which durranti consistently differs from fuesslyana Stoll, which has yellow palpi and a curved subapical line.

BM. Hab. Mexico: GuerRERO: Amula, 6000 ft., VIII. (H. H. Smith). Unique. ANCHIMACHETA, gen. n. (ayxpaynrhs = fighting hand-to-hand.) Type: Anchimacheta capnodes Wlsm. Antennae simple. Labial Palpi long, recurved, reaching as high as the vertex (in the dead insect somewhat porrect); terminal joint nearly as long as median, both joints somewhat thickened with scales. Maxillary Palpi and Haustellum rudimentary. Head somewhat thickly clothed. Thorax smooth. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, apex depressed, rounded, termen obliquely rounded to dorsum : neuration 12 veins, all separate; 7 to costa; cell narrow, very long as compared with the apical veins, an internal vein from between 6-7 to before 10; 3-4 somewhat approximate, 3 from angle of cell; 2 from outer ninth of cell, but well-separated from 8; basal fork of 1 obsolete. Hindwings nearly 1, costa rather straight, termen obliquely rounded: neuration 8 veins, all separate; 2-5 more remote than 5-7, cell obliquely receding from 5; 6-7 parallel. Abdomen moderate. Legs: hind tibiae haired above. Allied to Lamprosetia Stn., and having very similar oral structure and neuration, a careful comparison of slides, however, makes evident several small but important differences, especially in the forewing—vein 11 originates at half the length of the cell in Anchimacheta, while in Lamprosetia this vein leaves the media within the basal third; the internal vein is from between 7-8 in Lamprosetia, but it is from between 6-7 in Anchimacheta and 3-4 are approximate, while 3-7 are remote and almost equidistant in Lamprosetia. 1. Anchimacheta iodes, sp. n. The description of A. capnodes Wlsm. (the type of the genus) would apply in all particulars to this species, with the following exceptions:—In size it is a little smaller, the hindwings are a little narrower, the mediocostal shade-patch is rather less diffused and rather farther removed from the preceding patch, but, above all other differences, it can be most easily separated by a strong tinge of light rust-brown which overspreads the base of the hindwings.

There are five undoubted males of this species in the collection, and two females, taken at the same time and place, but the females differ in having shorter palpi and in the absence of the rust-brown shade at the base of the hindwings; their colouring is perhaps also a little more generally suffused—they cannot be determined with certainty as belonging to the same species. 2 tt 2 324 HETEROCERA. 9.

Palpi brownish cinereous, shaded externally with brownish fuscous, almost to their apex. Head and Thorax brownish cinereous. Forewings brownish cinereous, with a strong patch of dark reddish fuscous suffusion near the base, diluted outward nearly to the middle of the costa, and having an elongate, stone-whitish, dorsal patch at its lower extremity, around which it is diluted to the flexus and to the middle of the dorsum, blending with the paler ground-colour outward, but reappearing in a small costal patch at the commencement of the costal cilia, below which are two blackish spots—one above the other, the lower and larger one, above the tornus, preceded and followed by some few stone- whitish scales; cilia brownish cinereous. Exzp.al.14mm. Hindwings brownish grey, with a strong pale rust-brown suffusion at their base. Abdomen brownish cinereous. Legs cinereous. Type 3 (66050) Mus. Wlsm. (Giodm-Salv. Coll.) BM. Hab. Mexico: guerrero: Amula, 6000 ft., VIII. (H. H. Smith). Unique. This species agrees with iodes Wlsm. in having a strong pale rust-brown suffusion at the base of the hindwings, while it differs in the more general suffusion of the forewings which lack the pale intermediate bands between the darker markings, but are distinguished by the pale whitish dorsal patch and the suffused dark reddish fuscous patch at the basal third.

The underside of the thorax is spotted with yellowish white on a black ground, and, like its closely allied congeners, its colouring renders it a good imitation of some of the Vespidae. It is nearly allied to floridana Nmgn. and aurea Fitch—indeed, it is intermediate between them ; from the former it differs in the greater restriction of the golden orange ground-colour, and from the latter in the narrower and more distinctly separated bands and blotches, which leave the orange ground-colour to occupy a larger area. The larva of floridana is known to be quite distinct from that of aurea [vide Dyar Jr. NY. Ent. Soc. 5 48 (1897)], and although the several species are extremely similar they can be separated consistently—perhaps more easily by sight than by description. 4.

[In 1897 the fall synonymy of pustulella F. and allied forms was given under the heading of Atteva punctella Cram. & Stoll with the following note: ‘** Grote seems to have been of the opinion that three species are represented in the above synonymy .(which if distinct should receive the following names :—aurea Fitch, United States; gemmata Grt., West Indies; punctella Cram., 8. America); on the other hand, Riley and Berg considered that these names represent but a single species. I give the synonymy as I find it, withholding my own views until I have had the opportunity of studying more material” (Wlsm. Pr. Z. Soc. Lond. 1897 112-3 sp. 139). One error occurs in this synonymy: gemmata Grote and the Cuban references should be eliminated, these pertain to the species recorded as Atteva fastuosa Z. (Wlsm: Pr. Z. Soc. Lond. 1897 113 sp. 141) which must be known as Atteva gemmata Grote (=fastuosa Z.)—at present this has only been taken in Cuba, and Ruatan Island, in the Gulf of Honduras. ‘The references to Atteva aurea Fitch (=compta Clms.) —the form well-known in the United States, extending southward to British Hon- duras, and .also recorded as from Canada—must also be eliminated as belonging to a species distinct from Atteva pustulella F. (= Qpunetella Stoll ;=subtilis Hb.). Fabricius proposed the neonym Tinea pustulella F. in lieu of §Phalaena Tinea punctella Stoll (1781), evidently because this was absolutely homonymous with Phalaena Tinea punctella L. (1761—Fn. Suec. 368 sp. 1437), and Hiibner probably proposed his neonym Crameria subtilis Hb. for the same reason. Atteva pustulella F. (= §punctella Stoll) ranges from Panama to Argentina, and occurs also in the West Indies; it is recorded as feeding on Ailanthus glandulosa Desv. and Castela erecta Turp., both belonging to the Simarudeae. 2 wu 2 332 HETEROCERA.

US. Nat. Mus. 47 2552 (1898) | adopt Urophycis Gill (1863) in lieu of § Phycis Schneider, Bloch’s Syst. Ichth. 1801 56, because this is ‘ not Phycts Fabricius 1798 a genus of Lepidoptera.” 508 HETEROCERA. The genonym Phycis F. is valid and must be used for either boletella F. or spissicella F. Ochsenheimer was certainly justified in limiting the application of Phycis to the Tineid, and Zincken’s arguments are fallacious, for Fabricius’ description was obviously based on doletelia F., and not on spissicella F. Curtis founded the genus Phycita on Tinea spissicella F. (tspicicella Crt.) and cited this species as his Type—the genonym Phycita Crt. was adopted by Ragonot in his Monograph of the Phycitinae, and has since been generally used in that family.

In the ¢ the dark spots, or reticulations, are extremely variable in extent and diffusion, but can usually be traced as originating in four patches along the costa, more or less produced in an outwardly oblique direction to, or toward, the dorsum, the termen being also margined with brown, including the cilia. The patches are more or less interrupted, or diffused, in different varieties, sometimes becoming almost obliterated and reduced to faint bands of scattered brown scales—sometimes confluent TEGETICULA.—HYBROMA. 371 along the wing-middle, and leaving the pale ground-colour in the form of diffused marginal spots. In the 2 (of which, however, there are only four specimens in a series of considerably over a hundred) the pattern seems to be more clearly defined and consistent; a pale ochreous band, inwardly oblique from costa to flexus, some- times partially confluent with a short dorsal streak crossing the fold; three straight costal streaks of varying lengths, sometimes followed by a spot before the apex, a spot before the tornus, and another above and beyond it, opposite to the middle of the termen. The hindwings and cilia are tawny brownish, darker in the @ than in the ¢. HYBROMA Clms. Type: Hybroma servulella Clms. (Clms. 1862). Hysroma Clms. Pr. Ent. Soc. Phil. 1 186-7 (1862): Clms-Stn. Tin.

Acrotornus Meyr. Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1913 191-2 (1913). Twenty-seven years ago I published “ A Revision of the Genera Acrolophus Poey and Anaphora Clem.” [Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1887 137-173 Pl. 7-8 (1887)], defining thirteen ACROLOPHUS. 319 genera, and have since described two more genera as new—these have been generally accepted and maintained, after further study, by Fernald, Beutenmiiller, Druce, and Dyar. With a very large accession of material before us it became necessary closely to examine all doubtful cases and to verify the special points which had been relied upon in distinguishing the numerous genera established in what has been regarded as a fairly well-defined family. We approached the subject with a very keen desire not only to maintain these divisions but, if possible, to find within the group such characters as would justify their further sub-division, and it was only after a prolonged struggle on these lines that we were obliged to admit that there could not be found any character, or combination of characters, on which these genera, or any one of them, could be maintained in such manner as to be made recognisable either by figure or description. The intermediate variations were so numerous and so graduai that, apart from the question of the value of secondary sexual characters, which has been con- sistently discounted in this paper and the uselessness of which was very specially illustrated in this particular group, we were driven to seek for differences in neuration after all other means of distinguishing the genera had been found unreliable. Here, as in other respects, the disappointment was great. We found that these Acrolophids were in such an evidently plastic condition that even in the same species, and in some cases on the two sides of the same specimen, the apical veins, whether 7 and 8, or 8 and 9, were either forked, connate, or separate, apparently without any controlling rule or fixity of purpose. We were somewhat prepared to find the apical veins variable in this respect, and it was not until the position of the internal veins of the cell (medial and radial) had been carefully studied, in relation to the point of origin of the apical veins running to the costa and termen, that we were forced to abandon any attempt to define the particular series to which veins 7 and 8 should be assigned. This was found to be fairly consistent up to a certain point, and for some time we felt justified in retaining the genus Caenogenes, upon the ground that 7 and 8 were stalked from below the internal radial, but even this distinction ultimately broke down, and in one species forrert we found that vein 8 was sometimes stalked with 7, sometimes stalked with 9, sometimes separate from both, and at other times connected with either in varying degrees, moreover 7+8 originated sometimes from below and sometimes from above the internal radial. In one specimen of another species, cleptica ( 3 66895), not only 7 and 8, but 9 and 10 also were distinctly stalked. Therefore, much against our united inclination and efforts, it has been necessary to regard the so-called Acrolophidae (with two exceptions) as one large genus, and to rely upon such differences, as had hitherto been regarded of generic value, for the purpose only of separating the very numerous species within it—the form of the genital segments will be found at least as useful for that purpose as any other character. After dismissing the attempt to found any separate genera on the radial neuration of the forewings, it may yet be doubtful whether the cubital veins do not afford reliable 3 ¢¢ 2 580 HETEROCERA. characters for such separation. In two species only have we found veins 2-3 ef the forewings stalked. These two species differ in their radial neuration, and although the long recurved and hirsute palpi of the ¢ ¢ are characteristic of Acrolophus, it seems desirable, for the present at least, to retain Urbara Wkr.*—represented by a single injured specimen (FW: 12 veins ; 7-8 stalked, 7 to costa; 2-3 stalked. HW: 8 veins; 3-4 connate; 6-7 connate)—if only to call special attention to this very exceptional character by which it may be recognised. The other instance of the same character is found in Apoclisis rupestris W1sm.**, a J amaican species, which however differs in having veins 7-8 of the forewings separate. (Wlsm. MS. VIII. 1908.) 1.

Fam. 1, LAVERNIDAE (pp. 1-18). The family name Lavernidae was first published by Wocke in the 1871 edition of Staudinger’s Catalog (pp. 318-21), and described in the concluding part of Heinemann’s Schmetterlinge Deutschlands (1876), to include genera 480-92 (pp. 415- 35). These genera are still associated together, in the same family, with Cosmopteryx Hb., which Wocke separated from the Elachistidae and for which he formed a new family, the Cosmopterygidae [Hein-Wk.

The preface to the “ Drittes Hundert” of the Zutrige is dated “ Augsburg den 27 August 1825,” and the Title is also dated 1825. Page 411 of Hiibner’s Verzeichniss, on which Pinaris Hb. (sp. 3961-72) is printed, forms part of sig. 26, which was published before January 1827, and is assumed to have been issued in 1826. Unless more definite dates can be obtained, we must take it that Pinaris Hb. Zutrage (1825) appeared before Pinaris Hb. Verzeichniss (1826), although the genus was evidently founded in the Verzeichniss, which does not include hamiferella Hb., and of which “ P. heracliella. Hubn. Tin. 417” was species no. 3968. Poey, in 1832, removed hamiferella Hb. to his new genus Acrolophus, and restricted Pinaris Hb. to the Verzeichniss species (vide ante pp. 376-6). In 1808, and in 1812 (ante pp. 135-6), Tinea arenella S-D. was cited as the Type of Pinaris; this is a possible type for the Verzeichniss (1826), but not for the Zutrage (1825), and further change will be avoided by adopting as the Type Tinea laterella S-D. (=Aeracliella Hb.) which occurs in both publications, and which was actually constituted the Type of the Zutrage by Poey in 1832. GONADA Busck. Type: Gonada falculinella Busck (Busck 1911).

The specimens from Guatemala tend to develop a second fascia, somewhat obliquely placed, between the usual transverse markings and the base of the wing. ‘The white portions of the wing are also somewhat more dusted with golden brown than in the Type (from Espirito Santo), but one would not be justified in separating them merely on this account. It is not improbable that more species than one may be discriminated in an extended series, in which case the markings on the abdomen (unfortunately missing in the Type) may probably be of value in distinguishing them. In Jamaica the species was usually found in shady places among high brush-wood. ORNEODINA. 1. ORNEODIDALE. ORNEODES Ltr. = Rierornora Hb.; = Eucurrapra Hb.; =*Azverra Z. Type: Alucita hexadactyla L.

Although these specimens are somevhat smaller (16 mm.) than Zeller’s Type from Ubaque (18 mm.}, the position of the markings is precisely similar, and one could not venture to separate them, as the more southern form is represented by only a single specimen. 4. Orneodes acalles, sp. n. Antennae pale whitish ochreous, slightly barred with brown toward the base. Palpi long, projecting slightly upward ; whitish, much shaded with brown on the outer side of the rather roughened median joint, and with a dark fuscous band around the middle of the shorter terminal joint. Head and Thorax whitish ochreous, sprinkled with brownish. Forewings pale yellowish ochreous, dotted with white, and banded with dark brown fading into golden brown; the brown bands are two, one a little beyond the middle, arising straight from the dorsum across four lobes and thenee diverted obliquely outward to the apical lobe ; the second, before the termen, parallel with the first; these bands are formed by the darkening of the cilia on both sides of the lobes, and do not greatly affect the colouring of the lobes themselves, they are bounded on either side by narrow white lines, affecting not only the cilia but the lobes themselves; the basal half of the outer band is distinctly dark brown, its outer half pale golden brown. LEvp. al. 16 mm. Hindwings paler than the forewings, the yellowish ochreous colour being reduced, the brownish bands almost faded-out, while the white scaling is considerably increased on the ORNEODINA. 451 lobes and cilia ; several dark brown, almost blackish, dots along the former give a prettily speckled appearance to the wing, and there is a very distinct dark brown patch before the apex of the apical and subapical lobes but affecting only the cilia of the subapical lobe on its upper margin—this patch corre- sponds to the outer dark band on the forewings, but is not continued.

Palpi with the median joint extending the length of the head beyond it; dark brownish fuscous tipped with whitish ; the terminal joint almost erect, half as long as the median, whitish, with a broad brownish fuscous band around the middle. Head whitish ochreous, mottled with brownish fuscous. Thorax brownish fuscous, the tegulae tipped with whitish ochreous. forewings with the usual mottled appearance ; the apical lobe divided into alternate spaces of dark brownish fuscous and pale yellowish ochreous, these colours separated from each other by narrow lines of white, some straight, some oblique, its dorsal cilia brownish fuscous, with two white dots, but no ochreous; the distinguishing character of the remainder of the wing is a broad brownish fuscous median band narrowly edged with white, dilated inward on the tornal and supratornal lobes, this is partially continued through the hind- wings, but only in the form of narrow spots on the three anterior lobes, becoming dilated on the three posterior lobes to its greatest width on the dorsum; the base of both wings, preceding this band, is mottled with brownish fuscous, mixed with whitish and some pale ochreous, with a white spot on the base of the dorsum of the forewings; beyond the band the same colours are reproduced in succession on each lobe, the dark brown again forming a narrow band, augmented inward on the median lobe and attenuated inward to the dorsum on the tornal lobe; this band is also continued through the hindwings, conspicuously on the apical and subapical lobes, angulated inward on the median and again dilated inward more widely on the tornal lobe; the apical and subapical lobes are also tipped with brownish fuscous and the pale ochreous colouring is less in evidence on the hind- than on the forewings, while the white bars across the lobes are rather broader and more conspicuous; the cilia between the lobes, although mottled with brown, have, in a strong light, a pale bluish sheen, where they appear pale between the brown spots, but the cilia of the tornal lobe of the hindwings are almost entirely brownish, except near the apex.

Antennae simple, with pecten, longer than the forewings; very pale ochreous. Palpit whitish ochreous, the porrect median joint brush-like above and at the apex beneath ; the longer erect terminal joint smooth, slender, acute, with a blackish spot beneath a little before the apex. Head and Thorax pale fawn- ochreous, with a slender whitish ochreous streak along the middle, the tegulae narrowly edged with whitish ochreous. Forewings very pale fawn-ochreous, the costa narrowly a little paler ; an ill-defined whitish ochreous streak, along the upper half of the cell, is dilated upward beyond the cell in the direction of the costa before the apex, where it nearly reaches a slender blackish marginal line at the base of the whitish ochreous costal cilia; just below the apex is a shorter, slender, inverted blackish streak, beneath which the terminal cilia are again paler than the pale fawn-ochreous dorsal cilia; a long slender ochreous hair-pencil depends from the flexus. Hap. al, 21-22 mm. Hindwings shining, sericeous, whitish ochreous; cilia pale ochreous. Abdomen pale brownish ochreous. Legs whitish ochreous; tibiae hairy, pale ochreous.
