Loxapicia gen. nov. 

 If Guenee's name, Apicia, be retained for the broad-winged typical species 

 of the genus, such as cihicaria Cram., a fresh term must be found for those species 

 with narrower and more elongate wings and more obli(jue markings, ty]iified by 

 lintearia (iuen., the females of which have shortly pectinated, instead of simph-, 

 antennae.
