below is the largest known), very difficult to see on the wing, and liable to be 

 mistaken for Trlchoptera (caddis flies), to which in fact they are nearly 

 related. They should be looked for probably in damp but open forests of 

 Conifers at high elevations, especially in the spring. 

 Neopseustie, n. g. 



Head with short loose hairs ; ocelli present ; tongue short. Antennae ■^ 

 filiform, with appressed hairscales, basal joint moderate. Tabial palpi moderate,, 

 porrected, filiform, with appressed scales. Maxillary palpi long, several- jointed 

 filiform, folded. Abdomen stout, swollen posteriorly. Posterior tibiae with 

 appressed scales, spurs short. Forewings clothed with hairs, but with scattered 

 scales on anterior half; lb connected with lower margin of cell by bar towards 

 base, Ic weak, appearing to rise from upper end of this bar, parting-vein 

 connected with lower margin of cell by bar towards base (besides the bar 

 forming posterior wall of cell), 2 and 3 stalked from angle of cell, 4 rising 

 from pai'ting-vein, which itself forms cell-wall for a considerable distance 

 beyond the second bar, 5 and 6 stalked from angle made by parting vein, with 

 bar above it, 7 and 8 stalked from upper angle of cell, 7 to apex, 9 out of stalk 

 of 7 and 8 near base, 10 absent, 11 from rather beyond middle of cell, 12 

 connected with costa by a bar in middle. Hindwings more rounded than fore- 

 wings posteriorly, clothed with hairs : \b connected with Ic by bar near base, 

 posterior cell-wall normal in form, 2 remote, 3 from angle, 4 from above angle, 

 5 and 6 stalked. 7 and 8 stalked from upper angle, 9 out of stalk of 7 and 8 

 near base, 10 absent, 11 from % of cell, 12 simple. 



Slightly more specialised than the European Eriscranhi, to which it is most 

 related. 



Neopseustis calliglmica, n. sp. 



^. 20 mm. Head pale ochreous, with some dark fuscous hairs. Labial 

 palpi and antennae light fuscous. Maxillary palpi pale ochreous. Thorax pale 

 brownish-ochreous, with some silvery-white scales. Abdomen light yellow- 

 ochreous, appearing broad and subtruncate posteriorly, with upper and lower 

 lips, upper with sexual organs strongly depressed, lower short. Forewings 

 subovate, moderately broad, costa strongly arched, apex obtuse, termen rounded 

 rather strongly oblique ; whitish ; a fuscous patch covering anterior portion of 

 Aving and extending on costa to near middle and on dorsum to near tornus 

 irregularly marked with blackish-fuscous transverse spots or bars between veins 

 and thinly strewn with fine scattered violet-silvery-white scales, its outer edge 

 irregular and prominent above middle ; small brownish-ochreous spots on 

 dorsum at f and tornus ; posterior area of wing strongly tinged with purple on 

 lower half, and with pale green between this and costal area ; at oblique irreg- 

 ular spot on costa at ^, an elongate mark along apical fourth of costa, a large 

 spot on termen beneath apex, and a smaller one below it light fuscous : (cilia 

 defective.) Hindwings light prismatic-grey, posteriorly strongly purple tinged ; 

 cilia whitish-grey (defective).
