I propose to widen the definition of the genus Xylonjcta, so far as to unite 

 with it the genera LiGhewmla, Telecrates, ChrarcJia, Plectophila, and Chalaroicna. 

 These were all published by me at the same time, and I select the name of 

 Xylonjcta for the resulting group because I made that typical of the family 

 and therefore gave it precedence. The structural characters are thus extended 

 in the following particulars : Antennal ciliations of $ variable (^—3) • 7 of 

 forewings to apex or termen ; 6 and 7 of hindwings approximated, connate, or 

 stalked.
