Very few will question the correctness of the author's views with 

 respect to the insect about to be described. It has figured in three 

 or four different genera, because no one seems to have known wliat to 

 do witli it. and I hope it has now found a safe retreat. In some 

 respects the insect is much more nearly allied to Doratura, J. Sahib., 

 tlian to any other European genus with which I am acquainted. The 

 peculiar character of the genitalia of the male, viewed from behind, 

 separates it from all the genera with uliich it has been formerly placed. 

 The appendage hanging over tlie tube, and which may be seen by an. 

 ordinary pocket lens, resembles a neckerchief with the ends crossed 

 and ready for tying.
