posteriorly ; snow-white beneath. Legs clothed above and at the joints with thorn-like hair-scales ; 
white, with bands of subochreous scaling, thickly peppered with black around each joint, and at the 
extremity of the hind tarsi. 
Type 3 (66745) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM. 
Hab. Mexico: GUERRERO: Amula, 6000 ft., VIII. (H. H. Smith). Unique. 
This species differs from spinosa Wlsm. in its smaller size and distinctly banded 
hind legs.

1. Acrocercops eclampsis, sp. n., Drnt. 
Antennae pale greyish. Labial Palpi strongly recurved, smooth; whitish. Maailary Palpi porrect, whitish. 
Head shining, metallic aeneous. Thorax orange-ochreous, somewhat aeneous anteriorly. Forewings 
orange-ochreous, with a fuscous fascia within the basal fourth, wider on the costa than on the dorsum, 
broadly margined by silvery aeneous—in some lights becoming bright pale golden and obliterating the 
fuscous fascia, except on the costa where it is preceded by a silvery spot; a conspicuous, pretornal, 
triangular aeneous spot, becoming brilliant silvery at its apex, is preceded by a brilliant, silvery, elongate 
costal spot margined by blackish, and is followed, along the termen, by a patch of cupreous scaling reaching 
to the apex; cilia greyish, tinged with aeneous. Ewp. al. 7-5 mm. Hindwings and cilia greyish fuscous, 
Abdomen greyish fuscous, pale aeneous beneath. Legs whitish ; hind tibiae obscurely marked with pale 
fuscous, with a row of short setae above. 
Type & (401229) Stainton Coll. BM. 
Hab. Panama: panama, III. 1860 (2. H. Stretch). Unique. 
Allied to dives Wlsm. (Eucosmophora; Pr. Z. Soc. Lond. 1897 149), but quite 
distinct, and easily recognised by the aeneous scaling not extending from the base along 
the dorsum to the apex as in that species. 
2. Acrocercops gemmans, sp. n. 
Antennae brownish cinereous. Palpi whitish. Head shining, whitish. Thorax white above, the tegulae 
brownish. Forewings rich brownish ochreous, suffused with shining olivaceous grey from the base, this 
shade terminating in an attenuate point on the cell beyond the middle; the dorsum is white from base 
to tornus, but interrupted, about the middle, by an oblique band coming from the brownish ochreous 
ground-colour above it; about the end of the cell, a shining rosy metallic band crosses obliquely outward 
from the costa, and is abruptly angulated at one-half of the width of the wing, its lower extremity 
produced outward to a point—a blackish spot lies in the angle on its outer side ; a bright brassy streaklet, 
inverted from the commencement of the costal cilia, overlaps, but does not meet a tooth-shaped metallic 
streak, tending obliquely outward from the end of the white dorsal band; at the apex is a black spot, with 
white cilia above and below, and followed by a line of steel-blue scales around the base of the ochreous 
apical cilia, which have a caudate appearance ; dorsal cilia dark grey. Ewvp.al.9 mm. Hindwings and
