Fabricius probably changed the name lacteella to albana because 

 Schiffermiiller had already published a Tinea lactetta. Zeller 

 (1. c. No. 3) considered tenera distinct from Fabricius's species, 

 principally from the antennae not agreeing with the original 

 description (I. c. No. 1), but this was emended (I. c. No. 2); and 

 Zeller, while not admitting that tenera was a synonym of albana 

 in the ' Horse,' was evidently coming round to the opinion that his 

 species was not distinct from that of Fabricius. I have a very 

 large amount of material (mostly undescribed) belonging to this 

 family, and the only species to which Fabricius's description can be 

 applied is tenera, Z. ; I am therefore not disposed to maintain 

 these two names as representing distinct species. 



35. Gonioterma, g. n. 



(ywvi'a = angle ; reppa = a boundary.) 



Type, Phalcena (Tortrix) burmanniana, Cram. <fc Stoll. 



Antennce §, basal joint somewhat enlarged, without pecten ; 

 8 biciliate (lg). 



Labial palpi strongly recurved, second joint thickened with 

 appressed scales beneath, apical joint shorter than the second. 



Maxillary palpi well developed, appressed to the haustellum. 



Haustellum thickly scaled. 



Head smooth, but with lateral hair-tufts often meeting above it. 



Thorax smooth. 



Fore wings : costa arched at the base, thence straight almost to 

 the apex, which is slightly depressed and rounded, termen almost 

 perpendicular, tornus rounded. Neuration : 12 veins all separate, 

 8 to termen below apex, 5 approximated to 4, and 6 to 7, 2 from 

 near lower angle. 



Hind wings broader than the fore wings, costa depressed beyond 

 middle (without long hair-tuft in S ), evenly rounded from the 

 apex to the abdominal angle, cilia short. Neuration : 8 veins, 6 and 

 7 closely approximated, 3 and 4 separate but closely approximated, 

 1 b furcate at base. 



Abdomen rather stout. 



Legs : hind tibiae clothed with short rough scales. 



Allied to Anadasmus, Wlsm., but differing in vein 8 of the fore 

 wings attaining the termen.
