"Die JJaupe ist sehr diian unrl schmal, 16-fiissig, in der Mitte 

 am breitesten ; dunkel chocoladebraun, mit zwei Reihen feiner 

 weisseii Punkre auf jeder Seite des Biiekens, so dass auf jedem 

 Segment zwei Puuktwarzen sich finden, jede init eiuem schwarzen 

 Ilaar versehen. Kopf rund, schwarzbraun. Das erste Leib- 

 segtnent durchsichtig fleischfarbig im ersten Drittel, auf den 

 hinteren | mit einem Schild von der Farbe des Kopfes. Bauch, 

 Piisse und After von der Farbe des Bucket is. 



" liaupe auf den Blattern der Bromelia pinguin, L., gefunden in 

 einem Gespinust mit eingewobenen Excreraenten und Blattresten. 

 Das Gespinnst betindet sich in der inneren Hohlung des Blattes, 

 dicht an der Blattwurzel. Anscheinend frisst die Baupe nicht 

 die Bliitter, sondern nur die Blattreste, die sie in ihr Gespinnst 

 festwebt." ( Gudmann.) 



I am unable to separate from the types three slightly smaller 

 captured females in which the tawny-reddish suffusion is much 

 modified by greyish-fuscous sprinkling, and the pale ochreous 

 ground-colour inclines to pale cinereous. 



This species differs from the type of the genus in having veins 

 7 and 8 coinciden t, arisin g from a common stem with 9 ; but at 

 present I am unwilling to create a new genus for its reception. 



10. Aristotelia, Hb., Meyr. 



This genus has been separated into sections under various 

 names, such as Evagora, Clem., Apodia, Hein., Ergatis, llein. 

 The first two names are preoccupied, and Ergatis is a synonym of 

 Aristotelia. 



Aristotelia is used in a more extended sense in this paper than 

 is accorded to it by Meyrick. At present it seems unnecessary 

 to rename the different sections as here given, but this can be 

 done at any future time if the subdivisions founded on neuration 

 should be regarded as of sufficient value ; when probably some of 

 Walker's or Chambers's generic names will be found to apply. 



The species which have veins 3 and 4 of the hind wings connate 

 are narrow-winged derivatives of Aristotelia^ and are not allied to 

 G'elechia. 



§A. Fore wings, 7 avd 8 stalked, 6 out of 7. Hind icings, 3 and 4 

 connate. (=§ EVAGORA, Clem.) 



21. Abistotelia annulicoknis, sp. n. 



Antenna' pale straw-ochreous, minutely banded above with 

 greyish fuscous, a distinct blackish band across the middle of the 

 basal joint. Palpi pale straw-ochreous, with two smoky-black 

 spots on the outer side of the second joint and a smoky-black ring 

 near the end of the apical joint. Head and thorax pale straw- 

 ochreous. Fore icings pale straw-ochreous, with a slight ferruginous 

 shade along the middle from one-third to two-thirds, and several 

 emokv-black spots and dots : the hrst at the base of the costa.
