hind-wing, 2.35 to 2.75 mm. Length of body, \y 2 to 2 mm. 

 Antennae, 6-jointed, length, .8 mm. Joints i and 2, short and 

 stout, the 2nd a little longer than broad ; 3rd, longest, equaling 

 4th and 5th together ; 5th, a trifle longer than 4th ; and 6th, 

 distinctly longer than 5th. The proportions of the 4 distal 

 joints are about as follows: 21, 9, n, 15. Total length of 

 antenna a little less than one-half length of body. Compound 

 eyes, ocelli, abdomen, tips of tarsi and antennae, and more or

 The anterior wing has a very distinct, though narrow, black 

 line extending from the base along the subcostal nerve, but a 

 little beneath it and terminating on the costal margin p<f 

 beyond the stigma. A similar black line starts on the anal 

 margin of the hind-wing close to the body and extends forward 

 and outward to meet the costal nerve and then turns at an 

 acute angle back to the costal margin close to the body. Body 

 and wings are powdered with a white secretion and from 

 thorax and abdomen a white waxy secretion forms in long, 

 slender threads, nearly 'or quite hiding the body. . \ntennal 

 spur of 6th joint not over 1-5 length of joint and with a large 

 sensorium at its base, also large oval sensoria near distal ends 

 of joints 4 and 5, and along the underside of joint 3, where 

 there are about 6.
