Struthoscelis semiotarsa, n. sp. 



J. 21-22 ram. Head ochreous-grej^-whitish. Palpi ochrcous- 

 whitish, second joint somewhat sprinkled with grey, with rather 

 long rough projecting scales beneath, terminal joint not longer 

 than second. Thorax oclireous-whitish, shoulders and dorsum 

 somewhat spotted with grey irroration. Abdomen ochreous-whitish 

 suffused with fuscous posteriorly. Posterior legs ochreous-whitish 

 suffused with dark grey above, tibiae 8 mm., tarsi 12 mm., basal 

 joint 8 mm., with large expanded tuft of long rough hairscales at 

 its apex. Porewings elongate, rather narrow, costa gently arched, 

 apex obtuse, termen obliquely rounded ; grej', all veins marked 

 with ochreous-whitish lines edged with scattered dark fuscous scales; 

 undefined darker suffusion towards base, in end of cell, on a broad 

 patch extending from beyond cell to posterior poi'tion of dorsum, 

 within lower part of fork of veins 7 and 8, and along termen : 

 cilia ochreous-whitish somewhat mixed with fuscous. Hindwings 

 ochreous-grey-whitish, hyaline in disc ; cilia grej'-whitish, with 

 light greyish subbasal shade. 



French Guiana, R. Maroni ; two specimens. This species, like 

 the other, is very indefinitely marked, but the tuft at apex of basal 

 joint of posterior tarsi is a striking characteristic. 



EOMICHLA, n. g. 



Head with appressed scales, sidetufts large, roughly sj^reading, 

 meeting and projecting over forehead ; ocelli present ; tongue very 

 short. Antennae |, in d strongly, in 5 moderately ciliated, basal 

 joint stout, dilated with dense rough scales, without pecten. Labial 

 palpi moderately long, curved, ascending, second joint reaching 

 base of antennae, thickened with dense appressed scales, slightly 

 rough anteriorly, terminal joint from half to nearly as long as 

 second, moderately stout, pointed. Maxillary palpi rudimentary. 

 Thorax with more or less developed posterior crest. Anterior and 

 middle tibiae dilated with dense rough spreading hairscales ; 

 posterior tibiae and tarsi roughly tufted throughout with more or less 

 long hairscales above. Porewings with 2 and 3 approximated or 

 stalked from angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to apex^ 9 out of 7 or separate 

 or stalked with 10, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1, elongate-ovate, 

 cilia 5 ; 3 and 4 connate, 5-7 parallel. 



Type notandella Busck. A development of Machimia ; Mr. 

 Busck has regarded this genus as identical with Pdeopodii Zell., 

 ^with which conclusioiTT'do not agree ; Zeller's type-species is 

 indeed unknown to both of us, but the accuracy and reliability of 

 Zeller's work entitles us to read his description literally ; he terms 

 the S antennae " microscopke ■puberulcB" which would indicate a 

 genus of the Depressariades, and carefully notes the posterior tarsi as 

 having the first two joints alone tufted, whereas in tliis genus the 

 special peculiarity is that all the joints are tufted; the cliaracters 

 as given point to a genus allit-d to CryptolecJiia and quite distinct 

 fl'ora the present, and the superficial appearance as shown by the figure
