234 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



HARPALYCE, <W/. 1WV. 



In the neuration, and more decidedly in the form of the secondaries, 

 this genus makes a very near approach to the Tortric'uhc. The hind wings- 

 are as wide as in any genus of that family. The primaries, however, 

 rather resemble those of the genus Hagno, and the palpi also ally it to the 

 Gelechidx. 



Wings nearly horizontal (in the dead insect). 



In the })rimaries the costa is regularly arched, and the wing is widest 

 about the middle ; the costa attains the margin behind the middle ; the 

 cell is rather narrow ; the subcostal gives off four branches to the margin 

 before the end of the cell, the first and longest of which arises before the 

 middle, and the last of which arises close to the end of the cell, and 

 reaches the costal margin close to the apex ; the apical branch reaches the 

 apex or the margin close to and beneath it ; the discal vein gives off two 

 branches ; the median gives off, close to the end of the cell, a single  

 branch, which becomes furcate, and the apical branch runs to the margin,- 

 parallel to the discal branches ; the fold is thickened at the end, and the 

 submedian vein is long and furcate at the base. 



The secondaries are at least one-half wider than the primaries, their 

 width being equal to about two-thirds of the length ; the costa is strongly 

 arched near the base, and very faintly sinuate before the apex, which is 

 rounded, and the dorsal margin very faintly sinuate beneath it ; the costal 

 vein is sinuate from the margin and almost coincident with the subcostal 

 towards the base, and attains the margin near the apex ; the cell is wide ;. 

 the subcostal is furcate behind the cell, with the superior branch delivered 

 to the apex ; the discal vein is curved or angulated, the angle pointing 

 towards the base, and Jiciv the median it is again angulated, the angle 

 jjointing backwards, and a l)ranch proceeds from it to the margin ; the 

 median sends a branch from behind the middle to the margin, and from 

 the origin of the branch bends up to its union with the discal, at which it 

 becomes furcate. Submedian and internal veins distinct. In one of the 

 species {canusella) the costa is not so much arched, and the posterior 

 margin not at all sinuate beneath the apex, and the discal vein is curved 

 (not angulated) and unites \vith the median without forming a second 

 angle, what I have described as the discal branch vein, being continuous 

 with the median and arising from a common origin with the furcate 

 branch.
