 cent 1 ;. Grenada (Balthazar, 250 ft., windward side, 5-20 IV. — 

 H. H. Smith). 



Baron von Hedemann observes that this species was bred 

 by Mr. Gudmann, but does not mention the name of the plant. 

 No specimen was included in the collection sent to me by 

 Mr. Gudmann. 



67. Balbis, g. n. 

 (/3a\/3/s=a starting point.) 



Type, Carpocapsa assumptana, Wkr. 



Antennce less than §, stout, simple. 



Palpi porrect ; second joint slightly curved, moderately clothed ; 

 apical joint blunt, exposed, projecting forward. 



Haustdlum short. 



Head roughly clothed above. 



Thorax smooth, with hair-pencil arising beneath base of costa 

 (appressed to side, but probably expansible, as in Episimus). 



Fore wings, J without a costal fold ; costa slightly arched at base, 

 somewhat straight beyond, thence rouuded to the depressed apex, 

 termen not sinuate, tornus rounded. Neuration : 12 veius, all 

 separate ; 2 from before three-fourths, 7 to termen. 



Hind wings evenly rounded, not sinuate beneath apex. Neura- 

 iion : 8 veins ; 6 and 7 remote at origin, parallel ; 8 approximated 

 to radius ; 3 and 4 connate ; 5 almost straight, but somewhat 

 approximated to 4. 



Legs, hind tibiae smooth. 



Agreeing with Dichrorampha and Lipoptycha in having 6 and 7 

 of the hind wings parallel, but differing in the palpi and in the 

 unsinuate termen, and probably intermediate between these 

 genera and Laspeyresia, Hb. (= Grapholitha, HS.).

This species is probably rightly referred to this genus, but the 

 type was headless when received.
