2. Trichoptilus dulcis, sp. n. 
Antennae white, dusted with pale brown. Palpi slender, porrect ; white, dusted with pale brown. Head 
and Thoraw white, dusted with pale brown. Forewings white, dusted with pale brown, leaving three 
white streaks in the costal cilia—one at their commencement, one at their middle, and one at the apex, 
corresponding with slender white bands across the apical lobe; the first of these bands is continued 
across the tornal lobe, in the hind margin of which is also a white streak in the cilia before the apex. 
Ecp.al.11 mm. Hindwings with the first two lobes much dusted with pale brown, the apex of the 
first white; a white streak in the dorsal cilia before the apex of the second; the third lobe less dusted— 
it is white at the apex and before a patch of pale brown scales, occupying both sides of the lobe at 
a little more than two-thirds from the base. Abdomen white, very sparsely dusted. Legs white, with 
with small pale brown hair-tufts above the spurs, a brown spot on each spur beyond its middle and. pale 
brown spots at each joint of the tarsi.

Hab. Muxico: querrero: Amula, 6000 ft., VIII. (7. H. Smith). Unique. 
The species differs from pygmaeus Wism. in the tuft of scales on the posterior lobe 
of the hindwings extending to both sides of the lobe and being nearer to the apex.

1. Oxyptilus neales, sp. n. 
Antennae whitish, barred above with dark brownish fuscous, the dark bars near the apex being twice as wide 
as those near the base. Palpt slender, projecting scarcely the length of the head beyond it; whitish, 
banded with ferruginous around the middle of the median joint, the terminal joint narrowly banded 
toward the base, widely toward the apex. Head and Thorax light ferruginous. Forewings light 
ferruginous, somewhat clouded with a darker shade of the same across the base to one-fourth, 
a 
and in a band before the fissure ; the apical lobe is deeply shaded with dark coppery brown across 
its middle, leaving the costa somewhat paler, but with a small dark spot at the point whence the 
apex becomes depressed, immediately after this is a scarcely noticeable pale transverse line ; a sinuous 
basal shade runs through the pale ferruginous terminal cilia to the acute apex, the cilia on the lower 
margin of the lobe being deeply shaded along its middle with dark coppery brownish 3 8 whitish 
streak crosses the tornal lobe obliquely outward from the base of the fissure, beyond which the lobe 
is deep coppery brown, becoming almost fuscous along the sinuate shade-line at the base of the pale
