222 EXOTIC MICROLEPIDOPTERA. 



with long fine hairs above. Forewings with 1 b furcate, 2-4 aj)- 

 proximated from angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to termen, 11 from 

 middle. Hindwings 1, elongate-ovate, apex tolerably pointed, 

 termen faintly sinuate, cilia f ; 3 and 4 connate, 5 parallel, 6 and 

 7 nearly approximated towards base or stalked. 



Type lencosta Low. The structure of 6 and 7 of hindwings ia 

 abnormal in the family, but there can be no doubt that the genus 

 is correctly referred here, and is nearly related in all respects to 

 Wingia and Zelotechna, especially the latter. "-. 



ARACHNOGRAPHA, n. g. ' 



Head with appressed scales, sidetufts roughly spreading ; ocelli 

 present; tongue developed. Antennae |, in J with very long fine._^ 

 ciliations, basal joint elongate, stout, with pecten. Labial palpi 

 very long, recurved, second joint thickened with dense scales 

 forming a short rough tuft towards apex beneath, terminal joint 

 as long as second, thickened with dense scales throughout and 

 somewhat roughened anteriorly, tolerably pointed. Maxillary 

 palpi very short, loosely scaled, appressed to tongue. Posterior 

 tibise clothed with long hairs above. Forewings with slight tufts 

 of scales on costa ; 1 6 furcate, 2 from towards angle, 3-5 rather 

 approximated towards base, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to termen, 11 frqip 

 before middle. Hindwings 1, trapezoidal-ovate, cilia ^ ; 3 and 4 

 connate, 5 curved and rather approximated towards base, 6 and 7 

 nearly parallel. 



Type micrastrella Meyr. This and the two following genera are 

 properly separable from Tortricopsis, in which they have been 

 hitherto included, and Whigta Wals. is also justly separated from 

 it by the differences in the palpi. 



ZELOTECHNA, n. g. 



Head with appressed scales, sidetufts loosely raised ; ocelli 

 present; tongue developed. Antennae |, in (S with very long fine 

 ciliations, basal joint moderate, with pecten. Labial palpi long, 

 ascending, second joint exceeding base of antennae, thickened with 

 dense scales expanded towards apex above and forming a short or 

 moderate rough apical tuft beneath, terminal joint g-^ of second,v 

 straight, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, ap- 

 pressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with long fine hairs 

 above. Forewings with 1 b furcate, 2-4 approximated from angle, 

 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to termen, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1, 

 elongate, apex tolerably pointed, termen slightly sinuate, cilia | ; 

 3 and 4 connate or short-stalked, 5-7 nearly parallel. 



Type falcifera Meyr. Other species referable here are hirax, 

 sujmast ropha , callichroa, and lithocosma.
