324 KXOTIC JUCROLEPIDOPIERA. 



rarrower, aiul without white aiiical patch in cilia. Dr. ]loepke 

 states that " there are many moths of this class, which dauce on 

 the leaves in small societies, curiouslj- fanning with their hindlega ; 

 this species resembles a small ant [Dolichodenis)." Finding that 

 the tarsal joints of the hindlegs have small apical bristles hitherto 

 overlooked, I have accordingly transferred the genus PUicojifiJa 

 from the Cosmoptenjgulce to the IJeliodinidce, where it will rank as 

 a development of Xestocasis.
