EuRYNOME — Gen. nov. 



Allied to Phillonome, but differs from it by having the maxillary 

 palpi not developed ; it differs from Bucmlatrix by having the labial 

 palpi developed. The hind wings are wider than those of Bucmlatrix 

 and Phillonome. The neuration of PhiUonome differs (in the forewings) 

 decidedly from that of Buccukifrix, to which it is, in many respects, 

 allied, and resembles that of Elachista, and scarcely differs from that 

 of Thulva. Having but a single specimen of the species described 

 below, I have not examined the neuration. It has both pairs of wings 

 linear lanceolate, the hinder pair narrower than the forewings, with 

 the costa arched to the middle, and the dorsal margin regularly 

 curved ; widest just before the middle, and thence narrowing rapidly 

 to the apex, cilia long ; tuft on the vertex large, extending down 

 between the antennae as in Phillonome; labial palpi and tongue nearly 

 as in that genus and in LithocoUetls ; face smooth, rounded, not much 

 retreating; the ends of the antennae are burned off by the lamp in this 

 single specimen, and the basal joint is clothed with an eye cap as in 

 Bucmlatrix, but smaller ; eyes moderate. Ocelli f 



E. luteella (n. sp.) 



Head, eye caps and palpi white, the latter stained with yellowish; 

 thorax w'hite above, becoming more yellowish towards the tip ; patagia 

 and forewings pale saffron yellow, or luteous irregularly and somewhat 

 indistinctly marbled with whitish anastomosing streaks and spots, 

 which are not very clearly outlined. To the unaided eye the wing 

 appears pale, saffron or luteous indistinctly marked with paler streaks 

 or spots ; one of these pale spots is on the disc within the basel fourth, 

 and passes obliquely back to the fold and across it, to near tha middle of 

 tlie dorsal margin, when it becomes more distinct ; another begins on 

 the costa about or immediately before the middle and after leaving the 

 margin again curves back to it, enclosing a small saffron yellow spot 

 on the costa, it is also connected with the first named streak beneath 

 the fold by a very short branch ; or perhaps, as correctly, both of 

 these streaks may be described as one thus : beginning on the disc and 

 crossing the fold to the middle of the dorsal margin, and thence obli-
