162 THE entomologist's record. 



10 is furcate, enclosing a small cell between its limbs on vein 10 ; 11 

 and 12 connected by a transverse bar, before which vein 12 throws out 

 a branch to the costa ; costa chitinised at base, outwardly sharply 

 defined by a short humeral vein ; jugum developed, anal margin of 

 the wing chitinised. 



Hind-ii'lngs as broad as the fore-wings, apex rounded ; with flat 

 scales. Xeuration as in the fore-wings, but lb not furcate, at base, 

 Ic not connected with cubital, and cubital not connected with median 

 towards base, transverse vein between 9 and 10 not furcate, 11 absent. 



Ahfhmen : genital armature consisting of four lateral plates and 

 strong bifid uncus, the lower plates with a tooth at their apex. 



L('(iH with hind tibife not hairy above ; median spurs moderate, 

 apical very small : middle legs without spurs. 



Intermediate between Palaconiicra, Meyr., and Micropteryx, Hb., 

 but more closely allied to Palaconiicra. 



The beads of the antennae have longer stalks, and thus are more 

 distinctly separated than those of Micropteryv [calthella) ; moreover, in 

 ^[. calthella they are shaped like a small conical bullet with the base 

 outwards, whereas, in E. pardella, they are more spherical, and are 

 vase-shaped, with the mouth straight, and wider than the stem, the 

 middle portion bulged, and almost flanged. No such structure is 

 observable in the normally cylindrical and closely compressed joints of 

 Kriocrania, 7i.

Antennae, fuscous. Palpi yellow. Head, bright golden. Thorax, golden- 

 yellow anteriorly. Fore-wings, deep purple, especially so along the costa, tending to 

 reddish-purple towards the apex ; profusely sprinkled with bright golden scales, 

 most plentifully along the middle of the wing ; cilia pale golden. Underside,

ERIOCRANIANA. 



EEIOCKANIA, Z. 

 Eriocrania griseocapitella, sp. n., Wlsm. 



Antentxne greyish. Head thickly clothed with long greyish hairs. Thorax 

 grey. Fore-u-ings bright golden, metallic, irrorated with bright shining purple dots 

 throughout ; these are somewhat more thickly massed towards the base, and on 

 and below the fold ; cilia pale shining greyish. Underside purplish-fuscous. 

 Exj}. al., 12 mm. Hind-wings semi-transparent, purplish-grey, more strongly 

 tinted with purple towards the apex ; cilia pale greyish. Abdomen fuscous, with

Type s , Mus. Wlsm. 



i/(/?^.— United States: Washington (D.C.), unique. A single specimen received 

 from the late Dr. C. V. Riley. 



This species, which is allied to ilonzclelJa, Dp. {^fastuo.fella, Z.) 

 differs in the massing of the purple dots towards the base and basal 

 half of the dorsum ; the spots are much smaller than in auroa/anca, 

 Wlsm.
