In the eighteenth vohune of the Entomologisk Tidskrift, p. 

 22 1. Prof. AuRiviLLius describes a genus of Liniacodidae as 

 Haploniiresa. The genus is an interesting one from its peculiar 

 venation and belongs to the strange group of African Limaco- 

 dids in which the tendency to coalescence of the two row\s of 

 pectinations of the male antennae appears, culminating in such 

 forms as Baria Karsch and Barilla Dyar^, where the antennae 

 are unipectinate. However, Prof. Aurivillius' generic term must 

 fall before Prolatoia Holl. which was published earlier. Dr 

 Holland did not give the venation, but an examination of his 

 type shows it to be the same as that given for Haplotniresa. 

 The following synonymy will obtain: 



' Barilla gen. nov. Differs essentially from Baria KarsCU in havins; 

 but two spurs on the hind tibiae. Male antennae shortly singly pectinate. 

 Palpi porrect, third joint dependent, distinct, the palpus about one and a half 

 times the length of head. Head rather prominent. Fore wings with 12 veins, 

 2 to 5 separate, 7 to 9 stalked, 1 1 straight, fork of discal vein long and 

 closed by a cross-vein. Hind wings with 8 veins, 6 and 7 from a point, 8 

 anastomosing with cell near base. Type, Miresa transversata HoLL.\ND, Ent. 

 news, IV, 104.
