and 6. Abdomen with no unusual character. No secondary sexual dif- 
ferences of importance, the antennae only being somewhat more thickly 
clothed in the male. 
Named after Thomas, Lord Walsingham. 
This genus finds its nearest ally in Choregia Zeller (Felder) ; referred 
to the Tineidae by Felder. The venation and other structure seem to 
agree more nearly with the Tortricidae, both in this genus and in Choregia, 
the vein i b of secondaries being furcate at base, though the forks are in- 
distinct, the vein becoming well marked only below the forks. The 
weakness of the sub-costal and its derivatives is very well marked in both 
genera, and there is a very faint branch between the subcostal and costal 
near the base. 
The habitus of this genus would place it nearer to Mictopsychia, but that 
genus has but two internal veins to secondaries, while the distribution of 
the veins of primaries indicates a location much higher in the scale, and is 
hardly Tortricid. 
Choregia has similar antennas, but in the male they are ciliated beneath ; 
the front is not produced or conic, but is flat, and the head therefore shorter ; 
the palpi are longer, much stouter, not curved upward ; the legs are longer 
and more slender, the tarsal joints distinctly marked ; the primaries are 
narrower, subequal, and longer, the posterior border less oblique. The 
venation, while of the same type, presents several differences of generic 
importance : veins 7 to 10 are from the rounded apex of the cell, 10 not as 
the continuation of the subcostal, and much nearer to 9 than in the new 
genus. There is no accessory cell, and veins 3-5 are equidistant instead 
of 5 almost equidistant between 4 and 6. 
Walsinghamia belongs to a distinctively South American type, and will 
probably be associated, having similar antennae, with Gauris Walker and 
Rhobonda Walker the species being principally from Brazil. 
WALSINGHAMIA DIVA n. sp. Expanse 16 mm. General colors, brilliant 
metallic blue and purple, an4 non-metallic orange-red. Head, bright rusty- 
red above ; front yellow; palpi pale yellow, tipped with blackish. Thorax 
a leaden, somewhat metallic blackish-gray, with yellow scales at sides of 
scutellum. Primaries metallic purple at basal third, to a distinct transverse 
golden-yellow band which obliques posteriorly but very little, and is nar- 
rowly margined each side by a row of black scales : beyond this the purple 
assumes deeper violet and steel-blue hues through the middle portion of 
the wing, giving way to a metallic, deep greenish gloss, which extends 
to a strongly curved cream-yellow streak, which starts broadly and 
obliquely from the costa at f from base, is suddenly narrowed and poste- 
riorly bent on the cell, then runs nearly to the apex, where it again curves 
almost at right angles and runs parallel to the posterior margin, rapidly 
narrowing, and lost about \ from anal angle : beyond this yellow streak a 
deep rust-red band runs as a margin around the apex and along hind bor- 
der to anal angle ; between the two streaks the deep violet-purple scales 
form a narrow band, widest along costa : fringes leaden-black, with a black
