TINEID.E. EUSPlLAriEKYX — CJKACILLARIA. 363 



The distinct curved slender maxillary palpi of this pretty genus, 

 exclusively of other peculiarities, at once distinguishes it from the 

 following, in which they are straight and diverging ; the labial palpi 

 are very short ; the anterior wings are of a resplendent metallic hue, 

 very smooth, with yellow spots, and linear, with the cilia on the hinder 

 angle short ; the posterior wings aie lanceolate and not linear, and 

 the cilia adorn both margins.

N. G. auroguttella. Sieph. Catal. ii. 228. No. 7584.. 



Anterior wings glossy metallic gold, with a short brilliant pale golden-yellow 

 streak at the base of the inner margin, and three spots of similar hue, on 

 the margins, one of which is placed obliquely on the costa before the 

 middle, a second behind the middle and slightly curved, and the third is 

 situated in the middle of the inner margin, forming with the others a 

 triangle. 



Tlie only example I have seen of this splendid and very distinct 

 little insect I found in June 1827 at Ripley. 



Genus CCCLXXXII. — Gracillauia, Haworth. 



Palpi four ; maxillary distinct, slender, straight, diverging ; labial rather longer 

 than the head, slender, recurved, acute, the terminal joint subulate : 

 maxilliE rather long. Antennas very long, capillary, simple: head small, 

 clothed with shining depressed scales : eyes globose : thorax slender : wings 

 deflexed during repose, with the apex ascending; anterior very lotig, sub- 

 linear, rounded or rather acute at the apex : cilia on the posterior angle 

 long, and sometimes produced to the inner base itself; posterior linear, 

 with very long cilia, occasionally extending along the anterior margin : body 

 very long and slender ; obtuse in the males : legs also very long ; interme- 

 diate tibiw clothed within with very long scales. 



In this genus the maxillary palpi are rather long, straight, and 

 diverging ; the labial ones longer than the head, slender ; the head 

 clothed with depressed scales ; the anterior wings deflexed, with the 

 apex ascending, during repose ; and in general very narrow and 

 rather acute at the apex, where they are furnished, especially on the 

 hinder angle, with long cilia ; the posterior wings are linear, and also 

 adorned with extremely long cilia, which in a few species extend 

 along the costa : the intermediate tibiit are furnished with a mass of 

 scales ; and during rcpoiic the insects place their second pair of legs
