and also in Philopotarans, and all allied genera. In other 

 respects the neuration of the anterior wings is similar to Po- 

 Ij^centropns as here restricted, the first apical sector ending 

 in a lovlspd cell. The hind wings are also similar in form to 

 those of Polycentropns ; the first apical sector forked, and 

 the discoidal cell closed, but there is an additional a])ical 

 forked cell, formed by the furcation of the anterior branch of 

 the ramus subdiscoidalis. Sp. Neureclipsis bimaculata of 

 Linnens. 



Genus Cvrnus, SiepJiens. 



Sp. Cyrnns flavidus, APLric/tlan. The fore wings are 

 longer than in Cyrnus trimaculatus of Curtis, and the dis- 

 coidal cell is not sensibly angulaled at the point where the 

 transverse vein uniting it to the radius is placed. The wings 

 are very pale yellow, reticulated with gray. The app[endices] 

 intermed[in3] are ap])arently wanting; the app[endices] 

 int[eriores] are more rounded than in C. trimaculatus. Not 

 uncommon about the remnant of the old Croydon canal at 

 Forest Hill, in May and June.

 L. littoralis at roots of Amraophila arundinacea; I have met 

 with these larvae for some years, having first accidently, in 

 18t)l, captured a small one, which, after feeding up and being
