100 MORPHOLOGY, KTC, OF THE MICROPTERYOID^5, i., 



which is hei'e accepted provisionally, as already explained. A 

 short outline of this classification is here given : — 



Subfamily MNESARCH^IN.E. 

 No mandibles. Tongue short. Labial palpi well-developed. 

 Middle tibia? with two apical spurs. 



Mnnsarchcea Meyr., type paracosma Meyr. N.Z., three species. 



Subfamily KRIOCRANIINJE. 



No mandibles. Tongue short. Labial palpi well-developed. 

 Middle tibia? with one apical spur. 



Neopseiistis Meyr., type calliglauca Meyr. India, one species. 



Eriocrania Zeller, type semipurpurella Steph. Europe, nine 

 species. 



Muemonica Meyr., type subpurpurella Haw. Holarctic, eight 

 species. 



Subfamily MICROPTERYGIN.E. 



Mandibles developed. No tongue. Labial palpi rudimentary 

 or obsolete. Middle tibia? with apical group of bristles, without 

 spurs. 



Epimartyria Wals., type pardella Wals. N. America, two 

 species. 



Micropteryx Hubn., type aruncella Scop. Palsearctie, twenty- 

 seven species. ( = EriocephaJa Curtis, type calthella Linn.). 



Mic.ropardalis Meyr., type doroxena Meyr. New Zealand, 

 one species. 



Sabatinca Walker, type iucongrueJla Walker. New Zealand, 

 five species; Queensland, one species. ( = Paheomicra Meyr., 

 type chrysargyra Meyr.). 



A new genus, Anomoses, has been recently added by Dr. A. J. 

 Turner(H), based on a single new species from Queensland. 

 This insect is, however, so different from the rest of the Micro- 

 pterygidce that I doubt whether it really belongs here. I think 

 it should be placed in the family Prutotheoridce, hitherto only 

 known from South Africa. 



The literature of the family is somewhat involved, owing to 

 the continued inversion of the two names Eriocvania and Micro- 

 pteryx. This was due to the adoption of the name EriocephaJa
