YPONOMEUTIDJ:. — MACROCHII.A. 223 



Darenth wood, where I have occasionally taken it in the beginning of 

 July. 



B. Wings pale, with very obscure irrorations : — Tichonia,/?. ITubner. 



Sp. 3. tinctella. Alis anticis, ochraceo-JIavis, lucidis, subimmaculatis, posticis 

 Jlavescente-albidis cilii.i paUidioribus. (Exp. Alar. 6 — 7 lin.) 



Ti. tinctella. Hlibner.—N. G. tinctella. Steph. Catal. ii. 198. No. 7231. 



Anterior wings ochreous-yellow, nearly immaculate, slightly shining ; cilia the 

 same, with a faint paler line : posterior wings yellowish-white, with paler 

 cilia ; head and palpi pale ochreous. 



I am not aware of any other locality for this species than Darenth 

 wood, where I have taken a few specimens at the end of June. 



Genus CCCXXVI. — Macrochila* mihi. 



Palpi large, divaricating, densely clothed with very long hair-like scales 

 beneath, which extend in the form of a pointed brush in front, the terminal 

 joint, which is elongate and acute, arising, as it were, at the base of the 

 tuft: maxilla; moderate. Antennts nearly as long as the body, slender, 

 simple: /RCtc? small, with imbricated scales in front: eye* moderate : iliorax 

 rather short, subovate : wings entire ; anterior elongate, sublinear, the hinder 

 margin somewhat obliquely truncate, the disc either with obscure darker 

 transverse streaks or longitudinal ones on a darker ground : bodi/ moderate, 

 rather slender, with a small tuft at the apes, rather acute in the females: 

 legs short, posterior longest. 



This genus is well characterized by the great bulk of the palpi, of 

 which the basal joints are very densely clothed with extremely long 

 scales, porrected forwards in form of a pointed brush, near the base of 

 which the terminal joint, which resembles a seta, is directed upwards. 



A. Anterior wings with transverse fascis : — Oxybelia, Hubner. 



Sp. 1. fasciella. Alis anticis sordide testaceis seu rvfis, fasciis duabus satura- 

 tioribus posticis fuscis. (Exp. Alar. 10 — 11 lin.) 



Ti. fasciella. Hiibner.— Ma. fasciella. Steph. Catal. ii. 199. No. 7234. 



Anterior wings dull testaceous or reddish, with two obscure darker fasciae 

 and a dot between, the first nearly in the middle, the other towards the 

 hinder margin, with a rectangular head: posterior wings fuscous; cilia 

 flavescent.
