 No. 7549. — ScYTHRis, H'ubner. 



Anterior wings ashy-brown, freckled witli darker dots, and obscure irregular 

 confluent ycllowisli spots on the disc, placed longitudinally : posterior wings 

 whitish, with the hinder margin black : head slightly flavesccnt : abdomen 

 rather short, with a very obscure palish belt towards the apex. 



Of this remarkably distinct species I have a pair, one of which I 

 found many years back at Hertford, in the summer; the other was 

 presented to me by my friend the Rev. W. Kirby, who found it at 

 Barham. 



Genus CCCLXXVIII. — Ixcuuvaria, Haivorth. 



Palpi four; maxillary minute; labial slender, slightly divergent, rather 

 incurved, the base concealed in the scales of the front, the apex slightly 

 squamous and subulated : maxilla; short. Autennce moderate, in the males 

 rather pectinated, or incrassated and pubescent; simple in the females: 

 head large, with a dense tuft of erect scales in front: eyes globose: thorax 

 not crested : wings deflexcd during repose ; anterior elongate-triangular, 

 glossy, of brownish hues with pale spots, especially on the inner margin : 

 posterior wings subtriangular, small; cilia all short: toc(y short, slender, 

 obtuse in the males, acute and rather stouter in the females : legs moderate. 



The insects of this genus were separated by Haworth, from having 

 the hibial palpi incurved, a character which is, however, scarcely 

 the fiict with all the species, as in the last they arc recurved ; the 

 antenna; in the males of the first two are coarsely pectinated, and in 

 the last two incrassated and pectinated within : — from these remarks 

 it may be observed that the genus might be advantageously divided; 

 but I have preferred adhering to the division of Lcpic^optcra Britan- 

 nica: in colouring the insects are generally of a metallic-brown, witli 

 yellow spots, sometimes on the inner margin alone, at others on the 

 costa also. 



Sp. 1. masculella. Alis anticis fuscis, maculis duabus dorsalibus albis, capiie 

 fulvo; maris antennis pectinatis. (Exp. Alar. 5—7 lin.)

Anterior wings pitchy- or purplish-brown, with two snowy-whito trigonal 

 spots on the extreme inner margin, the first before, the other, smaller,
