straight beneath, broad and much expanded beyond the face and 

 clothed above and beneath with long scales. 



In Carpocapsa the wings are broader than in CatMmosema; the 

 ahial palpi are cylindrical, exceed the face but little, closely sealed. 

 curved and ascending, the apical joint very distinct. 



It is probable that Callisnoxema or Taplocama may be identical or 

 nearly so with the Europeao genus Grapholita, but both differ from it 

 in having the apical branch of the subcostal vein of the fore wings 

 nipl ' and in the furcate niedio-ccntral nervulc of the hind wings. 



Callimosema scintillana. — Fore wings pale yellowish, abundantly dusted 

 along the eosta and inner margin with dart fuscous. From the base nearly to 

 the middle of the wing, proceeds a pule yellow basal stripe along the disk, 

 which terminates in a silvery spot. On the costa from the middle of the wing 

 to the tip are lour equidistant pale yellow costal streaks, the first of which is 

 transverse and ends in the middle of the wing in a silvery spot, the last near 

 the tip is extended into a silvery line, From the silvery spot of the basal 

 streak proceeds a broad ochreous stripe which widens as it proceeds to the 

 hinder margin, and contains between the first and last costal streaks, a very 

 large ocelloid spot: the costal half of this is pale-yellow, margined with silvery 

 and striated with dark fuscous lines: the dorsal half consists of three I 

 raised silvery spots, the center one having three black spots on each side, the 

 one nearest the hinder margin of the wing, three on its basal side, and that 

 nearesi the has.- of the wing, three externally and two internally. Cilia pale- 

 yellow, dusted with fuscous. Hind wings dark fuscous, cilia pale yellowish. 



Author's Collection. 



A pair of scintUlana was taken several years ago on a grass plat, 

 beneath a pear tree. One of them was unfortunately destroyed, by an 

 accident. I have searched in every successive year for other speci- 

 mens, and up to the present time have not found them. 



TINEINA. 



BATRACHEDRA. Stainton. 

 Hind wini's very narrow, pointed; costa rather concave from the 

 tip to near the base, when there is a projecting tu/t, inner margin con- 

 _____ cave. The subcostal vein is simple, runs very near 

 the costa and reaches it beyond the middle of the * 

 ^wing. The median vein is simple and runs nearly 

 parallel to the inner margin and enters it nearly op- 

 posite the costal termination of the subcostal vein ; 

 between these, in the middle of the wing, originates 

 an independent discal branch, which is obscurely fur- 

 cate, its longest branch being lost before it reaches 

 the apex of the wing. There are two folds on the wing which resemble
