No characters have been published which would allow of giving the 

 genus Oedonia a family location. Its reference to the Psychidae is pro- 

 bably due to its colour only. The statement that the pectinations of the 

 antennae are furcate at the tips I am unable to verify, and I regard it as 

 erroneous. The other characters which have been given are general 

 ones. 



I have examined Mr. Neumoegen's specimen, by the kind permission 

 of that gentleman, and present my notes on the venation, as they may be 

 of assistance to some one : — 



Primaries. — Vein 1 free, straight, simple, not furcate at base, remote 

 from internal margin ; median vein 4-branched, vein 2 arising beyond 

 the middle of cell ; all the venules, veins 3 to 1 1 inclusive, simple, un- 

 branched, arising independently and nearly equidistant from each other 

 from the end of the cell. The cell is oval in shape, pointed at base. 

 Vein 1 2 from the base of wing, free, about midway between the sub- 

 costal vein and costa. 



Secondaries. — Three internal veins. (I am unable to make out vein 

 1 a positively, owing to the condition of the specimen and to the fact that 

 I cannot bleach the wing. Veins ib and ic are present, the latter in the 

 normal position of the submedian fold). Median vein 4-branched, cell 

 closed, the cross vein angulated between veins 5 and 6, with a discal fold 

 from the angulation. Vein 6 arises half way from the angulation to the 

 apex of cell, vein 7 from apex of cell ; vein S free from base, straight. 

 The frenulum consists of a minute spine, apparently without any costal 

 loop on primaries. The exact location of this genus I will leave to 

 students of the Microlepidoptera. One of the type specimens is in the 

 Edwards collection in the American Museum of Natural History, New 

 York, the other in the collection of Mr. B. Neumoegen. 



Limacodes ferrigera, Walker. 



Mr. A. G. Butler has very kindly sent me a good coloured figure of 

 the type in the British Museum, and it proves to be Adoneta sphiuloides, 

 Clem.
