marked with black at base, anal tuft ochreous- yellowish. Forewings 

 elongate-lanceolate, acute ; glossy whitish-ochreous ; plical and second

 5 stalked ; light grey ; cilia light greyish-ochreous.

 melanopleura. 



HYPONOMEUTIDAB.

Head shortly rough-scaled ; ocelli present ; tongue rudimentary. 

 Antennae (broken) in <$ simple, basal joint moderate, without pecten. 

 Labial palpi rather long, curved, subascending, second joint thickened 

 with dense scales, dilated beneath and forming a short apical projec- 

 tion, terminal joint hardly half second, somewhat thickened with 

 scales, pointed. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Posterior tibiae with 

 appressed scales. Forewings with 16 furcate, 2 and 3 stalked from 

 angle, 7 to termen, 11 from middle. Hiudwings 1, narrowly elongate- 

 ovate, cilia over 1 ; 3 and 4 approximated from angle of cell, 5 rather 

 curved, parallel to 4, transverse vein very oblique inwards from 5 to 6,
