spot from I of dorsum, reachiiij;; ratlicr more llian half acro.ss wing, 

 upper portion rather dilated ; a small golden s|t<)t on toriius : cilia 

 whitish, at apex with a grey patch, al)ove apex a grey bai'. Hind- 

 wings light grey ; cilia whitish-grey. 



Canada, Parry Bound, July {/'(irisJi) ; one specimen. Some 

 resemblance to the European pii(i)imeeUii (Jvom whicli, liowever, it is 

 certainly distinct) raises a doubt wliether it may not have been 

 confused with that species, which is said to occur in North 

 America; Busck's figure and descri|)tion (I'roc. U 8. ^lus. x.xxii. 

 l;i, pi. iv. 8) are evidently true piiiimaeella and not this species, 

 but he does not ex[)licitly say that they were taken from American 

 specimens; several other European species of the genus have beeii 

 ideutitied as occurring in North America, but all erroneously.

TANAOCTENOTA, n. g. 



I propose this moditied name for Taiuioctetin Turn., which is so 

 nearly identical with the earlier 'I'dnaoctenia Warr., that it cannot 

 be em[)loyed without confusion. By the kindness of Dr. Turner i 

 have received an example of the typical species 2\ ooptilu Turn. ; 

 the genus is a good one, hut it belongs to the fJyj>oaoiiieatuIa', and 

 not to the Ghiplni^teryfiidtx as Dr. Turner refers it.
