with pale yellowish-ochreous posteriorly ; inner margin broadly 

 suffused with rather dark grey ; some dark grey scales on 

 hindmargin ; cilia pale whitish-ochi'eous. 

 Three specimens. 



PLUTELLID.^. 



DOLICHERNIS, n, g. 



Head rough on crown, face smooth ; ocelli present ; tongue 

 well developed. Antennae over 1, in ,y — (?), basal joint 

 moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, smooth, re- 

 curved, second joint tolerably slender, terminal joint as long 

 as second, acute. Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Posterior 

 tibiae shortly rough-haired above, more strongly beneath. 

 Forewings with vein 1 long-furcate, 2 from near angle, 3 and 4 

 from a point, 7 absent, 8 and 9 stalked, 11 from before middle. 

 Hindwings 1, elongate-ovate, cilia -^ ; veins 3 and 4 from a 

 point, 5 remote, 6 and 7 parallel. 



A peculiar genus of somewhat uncertain location, not 

 closely approaching any other known to me. 



Dolichernis chloroleuca, n. sp. 



S . IGmm. Head, palpi, antennte, thorax, abdomen, and 

 legs ochreons-whitish ; anterior and middle legs banded with 

 dark fuscous. Forewings elongate, rather narj.-ow, costa 

 moderately arched, apex tolerably pointed, hindmargin slightly 

 sinuate, oblique ; pale whitish-ochreous, with a fev/ scattered 

 fuscous scales ; a cloudy irregular elongate dark fuscous dot 

 beneath costa near base, two obliquely placed in disc at J, four 

 forming a straight oblique series from middle of disc to before 

 middle of inner margin, and two transversely placed in disc 

 above ana! ^ngle: cilia ochreous- whitish, with a small black 

 spot at apex. Hindwings and cilia whitish. 



One specimen; unfortunately it is in somewhat poor con- 

 dition, but I believe the characters given are essentially 

 correct.

 long hairs above. Forewings with vein 1 furcate, 2 from rather 

 near angle, 5 absent, 7 absent, 11 from before middle of cell,
