fold is a not very pronounced blackish longitudinal line and at the end of the cells is a 

 still less noticeable blackish area, darkest towards the base of the wing, which in well 

 preserved specimens produces, for a Cokophora, the unusual effect of a transverse mark- 

 ing. Cilia lighter fuscous. Hind wings shining, dark fuscous. Legs whitish, 

 strongly sprinkled with light brown on the outer sides. Expanse 12-13 mm. 



The cases are what has been termed "cigar-shaped," that is 

 straight and nearly cylindrical though somewhat compressed ; the neck 

 is slightly bent and the other end is contracted and three-lipped. 

 The case is made of the epidermis of the leaf sewed together and lined 

 with yellow silk which gives it a rich ocher yellow color. Length of 

 case, 8-9 mm.

A NOTE ON AGIA EBORATA HULST. 



By Rev. Geo. W. Taylor, 

 Wellington, B. C, Canada. 



This moth was sent to me by Dr. Wm. Barnes, bearing two labels, 

 one his own and one that of Mr. H. D. Merrick. On each label the 

 moth is called Ccenoclape parinotata Zell. ; but as I have the x&dX pari- 

 7iotata from California, I knew this to be an error. Later Mr. Mer- 

 rick wrote me that it was so and that the moth was Agia eborata Hulst, 

 named from comparison with the type in the Hulst collection. 



The single pair of spurs on the hind tibiae with the ciliate antennae 

 limit it to two genera, Cysteopteryx and Agia. Hulst distinguishes 

 Cysteopteryx as having one accessory cell, while Agia has two. But 

 Packard, who described the type of Cysteopteryx {viridata Pack.) 

 figures the moth with two cells. Again Hulst says the genus should 

 have palpi short, but Packard (of zn'nWata) says palpi of great length, 

 which is also the case in eborata. In point of fact the only differences 

 that I can find to be left in the genera are that one has a frenulum 

 and the other not and that one has the hair pencil in the male and 

 the other not. I cannot see either frenulum or hair pencil in my 

 specimens with an ordinary lens. The description of viridata Pack- 

 ard in the Monograph and of eborata by Hulst might quite easily 

 apply to the same insect.
