1897.] WEST-INDIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA. 149 



Maxillary palpi well-developed, not folded, slightly recurved, 

 dependent or porrect, smooth. 



Haustellwm moderate. 



Head and face smooth. 



Thorax smooth. 



Fore wings narrow, elongate, lanceolate, dorsum ciliate almost 

 to base. Neuration : 8 veins ; 7 to costa, 8 absent, 3 and 4 absent, 

 6 absent. 



Iliad wings narrow, lanceolate, acute, cilia 4. Neuration : 6 veins, 

 cell open, 5 and 6 coincident, 3 and 4 coincident. 



Abdomen long, slender. 



Legs: hind tibia? pectinate above with moderately long stiff 

 bristles, middle tibiae unclothed. 



Allied to Spanioptila, from which it differs essentially in the 

 smooth middle tibiae, and in the hind tibia? being merely pectinate. 



229. Eucosmophora dives, sp. n. 



Antenna} pale greyish, with an aeneous sheen at the base. Palpi 

 strongly recurved laterally, of even width throughout ; whitish. 

 Head and thorax smooth, shining metallic aeneous. Fore wings 

 bright metallic seneous, merging into cupreous before the apex ; 

 nearly at the base of the costa is an elongate subovate black spot 

 extending to about one-fourth ; beyond it an elongate bright 

 orange costal patch, before the middle of which is a shining silvery 

 white oblong costal spot, slenderly black-margined except at its 

 upper edge ; the orange patch is also margined beneath by a 

 narrow black shade ; a small blackish spot below the costa at the 

 commencement of the costal cilia separates the orange patch from 

 the cupreous apical portion of the wing, but the extreme apex 

 becomes again shining seneous : cilia bronzy grey. Exp. al. 8 mm. 

 Hind wings and cilia grey. Abdomen beneath shining pale seneous, 

 above shaded with grey. Legs: hind tibiae with a comb of short 

 bristles above throughout their length : pale straw-colour, tarsi 

 unspotted.

Antennae brownish. Labial and maxillary palpi white. Head 

 and thorax white, both laterally tinged with pale olive-brown. 

 Fore wings pale olive-brown from the base to nearly two-thirds, 

 thence blending to rich reddish orange ; a silver-white dorsal 

 streak throughout, interrupted by a small orange spot at two- 

 thirds the wing-length; in the orange portion of the wing is a 

 very oblique silvery metallic streak before the costal cilia, Followed 

 bv two minute opposite silvery metallic marginal spots beyond 

 which the costa and costal cilia are shining white, a fuscous 

 streaklet running through them at the apex (accompanied by some
