„Body fuscous, very densely clothed with the usual white waxy 

 secretion. Antennae whitish, 33-jointed. Legs whitish; femora at 

 the tips fuscous. and there is sometimes an indication of a fuscous 

 line above, especially on the posterior. Wings of equal form,, the 

 posterior ample, very densely covered with white secretion (so that 

 they scarcely transmit light), but with numerous dark-grey spots 

 (on wliich the secretion appears to be less dense ) as follows : on the 

 basal half of each wing are about 6 to 8 small spots (less on the 

 posterior) ; on the apical half are about 9 large spots ; all the spots 

 are ))]aced in the areas between the veins, and those round the 

 apical and inner margin, between each apical sector. are very large. 

 and triangulär in outline; two forks in the apical neuration in both 

 l»airs of wings. 



Expanse about 6 mm.

So niuch is the rule for the insects of this family to be uni- 

 formly covered with white or greyish secretion, that the existence 

 of a species in wliich the wings were conspicuously spotted with 

 darker might pardonably have been doubted. 



The two examples of Coniopteryx pukhrlla are in \ery fine con- 

 dition, and are beautiful little creatures." 



Nach der Flügelzeichnung könnte man diese Species auch in die 

 Gsiitimo; Heieroronis Endkrl. einordnen; die Beschreibung des Geäders 

 würde ebenfalls nicht dagegen sprechen; sie paßt aber in gleicher
