the neck to the epistome, and the usual depressions are not visible. 

 The antenna? are moderately short and densely setose. The elytra are 

 glabrous and shining, with regular punctulate stria;, and perfectly plane 

 interstices, the 3rd and 5th of which have a row of minute setiferous 

 punctures. The anterior thighs have a strong broad tooth beneath.

Differs from P. GyJlcnhaUi almost solely in the sooty-black colour 

 of its whole upper-surface and limbs ; the under-surface being rufo- 

 piceous. Above, the body is covered with short erect setse implanted 

 in fine punctures. The head has a few large scattered punctures. 

 The thorax has extremely narrow lateral margins and is very little 

 rounded anteriorly, and narrowed only very near the hind augles. 

 The elytra have the punctured sti'ise more deeply sunk, or, rather, the 

 iustertices more convex.

Cnephasia cinctann, Schiff. — Dr. "VVocke removes this from the 

 CnephasiiJa', placing it in the genus LopJioderus, near to ministrana, L. 



Cnephasia Tiyhridana, Hiibn. — Heincmann seems to have fallen into 

 an error here, in wliich Prof. Zeller is inclined to follow him. They 

 both refer our Jiylridana to allulana, Tr., and call a closely allied 

 Btraw coloured species Jiybridafia. Iliibner does not confirm this, as 

 his figure of hyhridana represents a grey example of our insect. 

 Moreover, Dr. Wocke quotes mrvifascia^ia and rectifasciann of Ilaworth 

 and Stephens as synonyms of hyhridana, lliibn., and they are without 

 doubt the ^ and ? of our species. This has been confirmed by M. 

 Guenec, to whom Mr. Doubleday sent specimens. 



AVotke removes hyhridana into the genus OJindia (with rihnana).
