Veins 2 and 3 of tbe forewings are stalked, tbis character will at 

 once remove lamprostoma, 7i., from Aproaerema. 



Onehala, Wkr., will probably eventually have to be sunk as a 

 synonym of Trichotaphe, Clms., of which Mr. Biisck writes, " Hind- 

 wings ... 3 and 4 counate, with a tendency to become short- 

 stalked." In Onehala 3 and 4 are stalked.

(TrpoofKTiKT) = going before). 



Type. ^ , Proactica halimilignella, VVlsm. 



Antenvae (^) simple, basal joint sliglilly enlarged, clothed witli a short ex 

 panded shield of scales. Ocelli absent. Ha-u.stellum concealed in dense sealing. 

 Maxillary Palpi minute. Labial Palpi porrect, extending slightly bejond the 

 face ; terminal joint shorter than median, both clotlied with rather long, but not ex- 

 panding scales. j?earf very coarsely scaled above. TAoraa; smooth. Forewinga ^ovt, 

 obtusely lanceolate, coarely scaled above, smooth and brigtly shining beneath (when 

 denuded lanceolate evenly tapering from flcsus to apex, tornus obsolete) : Neura- 

 tion 12 veins ; V and 8 stalked, connate with 9, 7 to costa ; 2 to 6 remote ; 4 from 

 lower angle of cell ; 10 midway between 9 and 11 ; 1 furcate at base. Hind wings 

 (5) abruptly excised below tlie long narrowly produced apex, terinen almost erect 

 from 5, tornus slightly rounded, dorsum straight ; cilia (2|) : Neuration 8 veins ; 

 3 and 4 separate, 5 approximated to 4 ; discoidal subobsolete ; 6 subobsolete, 

 separate and parallel- with 7 {ivithout examination of a denuded toing under the 

 microscope the cell would be described as open and 6 absent). Abdomen smooth. 

 Legs, hind tibiae clothed with long hairs, tarsi coarsely scaled. 



This is an interesting^ form intermediate betweeu Chrysopora, 

 Clms., and Nealyda, Dietz, and Didactylota, Wlsm. ; it is however 

 most nearly allied to Anaphatjla, AVlsm. (type Gelechia gaditella, 

 Stgr.), which lacks the clothing on the basal joint of the antennae 

 and in which the discoidal is subobsolete between 5 and 6 in the fore- 

 wings and absent between 4 and 6 in the hindwings.
