1891.] MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA OF THE WEST INDIES. 537 



Hind wings greyish brown, cilia the same. 



Abdomen brownish cinereous, pale beneath. 



Legs brownish, spotted on the spurs and tarsal joints with silvery 

 white. 



Exp. al. 10 millim. 



Hub. West Indies — St. Vincent (Kingstown and windward side, 

 2 specimens, Smith). 



Type, 6 $ . 



Lavernix.k. 

 Anybia, Stu. 



Anybia conspersa, sp. n. 



Antennce with the basal joint somewhat enlarged outwardly ; 

 greyish fuscous, the last eight or nine joints at the apex whitish 

 ocbreous. 



Palpi recurved to above the base of the antennce ; apical and 

 second joints about equal in length ; dark fuscous, externally deli- 

 cately stippled with cinereous scales. 



Head greyish fuscous ; face pale cinereous. 



Thorax greyish fuscous, speckled with pale cinereous, especially 

 at the sides. 



Fore wings narrow, elongate, tapering, acuminate, with long cilia ; 

 cinereous, thickly clouded and sprinkled with fuscous ; a slight 

 chestnut-brown shade near the base, adjacent to but below the fold ; 

 a few chestnut scales also above the fold halfway to the costal 

 margin ; dorsal margin thickly clouded with fuscous throughout ; a 

 small fuscous dot lies at the end of the cell on the middle of the 

 wing, and indeed over the whole wing-surface the dark scaling pre- 

 dominates ; cilia greyish cinereous. 



Hind wings very narrow, less than half the width of the fore wings ; 

 with very long cilia ; brownish grey ; cilia greyish cinereous. 



Abdomen greyish cinereous ; anal tuft subochreous. 



Legs : hind tibife fringed above; pale ocbreous on their inner and 

 under sides, greyish fuscous externally; hind tarsal joints faintly 

 spotted with pale cinereous, a small pale ochreous spot above the 

 first pair of spurs. 



Exp. al. 11—12 millim. 



Hub. West Indies — St. Vincent (Kingstown and windward side, 

 3 specimens, Smith). 



Type, ?. 



The genus Anybia is represented in Europe by a snide species, 

 with which I have very carefully compared the two now described ; 

 ti.e ueuration is undoubtedly similar and the very slight difference 

 in the more recurved palpi is quite insufficient to separate them, 

 especially as the comparative lengths of the joints with their closely 

 aj. pressed sc des precisely agree with the type. It is remarkable 

 thai tins genus should not have been recorded from other localities, 

 since its presence in the West Indies indicates the probability of a 

 wider distribution.
