or not, nor as to what disposition has been made b^^ them of the species 

 former!}' referred to it. The species now before me does not in strict-* 

 ness belong in it, but is so near to it that I adopt the genus provision- 



ally to avoid the necessit}' of establishing a new one. In this species 

 the neuration is as shown in the figures 1 and 2; and in the fore-wings 

 the subcostal and median veins each send four branches to the mar.<iin, 

 instead of only three, as in Douglassia. The neuration is otherwise 

 very near to that of Douglassia, and almost equally near to that of 

 Heliozella; that of the hind-wings seems to be exactly- that of Helio- 

 zella oisella, Cham. In ornamentation this species approaches Doug- 

 lassia more nearly- than Heliozella, or any of the other small species of 

 Gliphypterygidoi known to me. The colors are plain, and there is no 

 white spot on the dorsal margin of the fore- wings. The head is smooth; 

 face, broad; antennae, simple, more than half as long as the fore-wings, 

 with small basal joints; tongue, short and naked; maxillary pnlpi, 

 rudimentary-; labial palpi, short porrected ; 2d joint with spreading 

 scales; 3d joint small, also with spreading scales; eyes, small, globose. 

 The insect is brown, faintly dusted with white; fore- wings, pale at 

 base, then about the middle there is a wide, darker brown fascia, fol- 

 lowed b\" a paler fascia, behind which to the apex the wing is again 

 darker, with a roundish, darker patch about the end of the cell. Cilia, 

 fuscus, with a dark brown hinder marginal line at their base; hind- 

 wings, fuscus; antennae, with brown and sordid yellowish aunulation;
