grey ; cilia dull smoky white. Abdomen whitish. Legs white ; 

 hind tibiae hairy above. 



Type, 3 Mus. Hedemann. 



Hab. West Indies — St. Thomas, 10 IV. {Hedemann). Unique. 



This species differs from albivitella, Z., and lithochroma, Wlsm., 

 in the much shorter apical joint of the palpi. 



38. Syntomactis, Meyr. 

 [Meyr. Tr. N. Z. Inst. XXL 173 (1889).] 



119. SyNTOMACTIS ? CERYINELLA, sp. n. 



Antennae, longer than the fore wings ; pale fawn-ochreous. 

 Palpi somewhat recurved, slender, smooth, the apical joint nearly 

 as long as the second ; pale fawn-ochreous. Head and thorax 

 pale fawn-ochreous. Fore wings very narrow, elougate ; pale 

 fawn-ochreous, speckled with brownish fuscous in a line along the 

 fold with another above it, as well as around and about the apical 

 portion of the wing ; the more conspicuous dots being one at the 

 outer third of the fold, one at the end of the cell, and one in the 

 same line beyond it ; cilia pale fawn-ochreous. Exp. al. 12 mm. 

 Hind wings and cilia pale yellowish grey. Abdomen shining pale 

 fawn-ochreous. Legs scarcely paler, unspotted ; hind tibiae with 

 long pale hairs above. 



Type, S Mus. Hedemann. 



Hab. West Indies — St. Croix, 24 IV. {Gudmann) • St. Thomas, 

 11 III. {Hedemann). Two specimens. 



This species appears to differ from Syntomactis, Meyr., only in 

 its longer antennae. 1 am not at present disposed to create a new 

 genus for its reception. Zarathra differs in its very much longer 

 palpi.
