(6) Two consignments of female imagines of Micropteryx 

 calthella, similarly fixed in Carls' Fixative. 



(7) Two consignments of cocoons of Eriocrania semipnrpurella, 

 freshly dug up, and containing living larvae when posted. 



Besides the material sent by Dr. Chapman, I have received 

 specimens from the following correspondents, to all of whom I 

 now offer ray best thanks for their generous help. 



From Mr. Edward Meyrick, F.R.S., set specimens of the fol- 

 lowing genera : — Sabatinca (two species), Micropteryx (three 

 species), Mnemonica (two species), Eriocrania (one species), and 

 Mnesarchcea (two species): in all, five genera, ten species, and 

 twenty-two specimens. 



From Mr. Alfred Philpott, Invercargill, N.Z., set specimens 

 of the genera Sabatinca (four species), and Mnesarchrea (two 

 species), of which three species, S. caustica Meyr., S. barbarica 

 Philpott, and M. paracosma Meyr., were not included in Mr. 

 Meyrick's consignment. Also a single larva of Sabatinca sp. 



From Mr. K. J. Morton, of Edinburgh, numerous examples of 

 Micropteryx aruncella Scop., in alcohol. 



From the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass., 

 by exchange, through Mr. Preston Clark, of Boston, Mass., two 

 lar\^e, a pupa and a set imago of Mnemonica anricyanea Wals. 



From Dr. A. J. Turner, of Brisbane, set specimens of Sabatinca 

 caViplaca Meyr., the only known Australian representative of 

 the family. 



Thus the material upon which this paper is based consists of 

 representatives of five genera and fourteen species, together with 

 the larval forms of four genera and pupse of two. The genera 

 Epimartyrick (two species from N. America), Micropardalis (one 

 species from New Zealand), and Neopseustis (one species from 

 India) remain unknown to me except through the published 

 descriptions. No larval or pupal forms appear to be known of 

 senera other than those received for this work. 



Classification. 



For the purpose of this work, it will not be necessary to go 

 back beyond Meyrick's classification in "Genera Insectorum"(6),
