114 HAUSTELLATA. — LEPIDOPTKKA. 



The name Phoxopteris (the type of which genus is To. lanceolana, 

 Hiibner, probably a Carpocapsa,) has been applied by Mr. Curtis, 

 in his Guide, to the pretty insects I have here brought together ; 

 but the above name is employed by Treitschke for the preceding 

 genus, with the exceptmi of the typical species above referred to, 

 so that the name is perfectly inapplicable here; and as the genus 

 does not correspond with either of Hlibner's, I have been compelled to 

 propose a new appellation for it : the species of which it is composed 

 may be readily known by having the anterior wings of pale colours, 

 clouded or fasciated with dark or black, and the anterior angle of the 

 hinder margin slightly falcate, as in Anchylopera.

Anterior wings snow-white, slightly caudate, the apex ashy: costa varied 

 with minute black dots, with a small distinct spot before, and a larger sub-

 spots, the first towards the base somewhat angulated and double, the other 

 nearly at the anal angle, acutely conic: adjoining the last is an ovate 

 speculum, waved with ash-colour and white : posterior wings fuscous.

 also within the metropolitan district. " Carlow. Ireland." — N. A,
