282 IIAUSTELLATA. LEl'lDOPTEllA. 



Sp. 11. flavicaput. AUs omnibus atris lucidis imviaculatis, capitejlavo. (Exp. 



Alar. 54— 6 \ lin.) 

 Por. flavicaput. Ilaworth.—N. G. flavicaput. Sieph. Catal. ii. 211. No. 73S1. 

 All the wings deep glossy blacky immaculate; head and tips of the palpi 



yellow. 



Abundant in woody places within the metropolitan district in 

 June. 



Genus CCCLII. — Chrysocorys, Curtis. 



Palpi longer than the head^ slightly curved, divaricating, slender and atte- 

 nuated, clothed with very short scales, joints subequal, the terminal one 

 rather obtuse : maxillce short. Antenncs rather short, faintly serrated, espe- 

 cially towards the apex, less so in the females : head subglobose, clothed 

 with shining metallic scales ; thorax the same, not crested : wings slightly 

 deflexed during repose ; anterior elongate, narrow, and lanceolate, the apex 

 subfalcate; disc with longitudinal metallic streaks; posterior also narrow; 

 cilia long : body short and slender. 



This genus differs from its allies by having the anterior v/ings very 

 long, sublanccolate, and slender, with the apex acute and subfalcate, 

 the disc marked with longitudinal metallic streaks on a pale ground ; 

 the posterior wings are also narrow, with longish cilia : the head is 

 remarkably smooth and glossy ; the palpi long, slender, slightly 

 incurved, and composed of three nearly equal joints ; the antennae 

 are rather short, and finely serrated towards the apex. 



Sp. 1. angustipennella. AUs anticis pallesccntibus siriis pundoqucfuscis, cajnte 

 aureo. (Exp. Alar. 5\ lin.) 



N. G. angustipennella. Sieph. Catal. ii. 211. No. 7382. — Schrenkensteinia, 

 Hubner ? 



Anterior wings pale gold, M'ith the costa, a streak in the middle, reaching 

 from the base to the apex, and a similar one towards the inner margin 

 dusky or deep brown, rarely black ; in the middle of the first streak, about 

 the juncture of the nervures, is a black dot, a little confluent with the costa : 

 posterior wings fuscous; cilia the same. 



The only locality I remember for this pretty species is the west 

 side of the Warren at Coombe wood, where I have frequently taken 

 it about the middle of June.
