156 Lord Walsingham's revision of the 



second hairy beneath, the third rather smooth and porrected. 

 Tongue wanting. Wings exceeding the tip of the abdomen; the 

 anterior with costa nearly straight, hind margin obliquely convex, 

 inner margin nearly straight, but slightly emarginate above the in- 

 terior angle ; the posterior ovate, and both with rather short cilia." 



The types of this genus, according to Clemens, are 

 popeanella, plwmifrontella, and arcanella ; but of the 

 latter he writes, " Labial palpi shorter in $ than in the 

 preceding ; ascending, but not recur red.''' This descrip- 

 tion conflicts with his statement that in this genus the 

 labial palpi equal the thorax in length, and if we take it 

 that it is an essential character of the genus that they 

 should do so, arcanella should properly be eliminated, 

 but its exclusion renders a new generic description 

 necessary. Taking the shorter palpi as the main 

 character of the new genus, I have proposed to separate 

 it under the name Pseudanaphora. The antennae of 

 plumifrontella are certainly not serrated in the strict 

 sense of the word;* those of popeanella are distinctly 

 serrated. Popeanella therefore is the species which 

 most precisely agrees with the characters of the genus 

 Anaphora, and may conveniently be taken as the type; 

 while plumifrontella may more properly be relegated to 

 the older genus Acrolophus. One correction should 

 certainly be made in Clemens' tabulation of genera, 

 "Antenna serrated beneath in both $ and ? Anaphora.'" 

 The females of all the species appear to have simple 

 antennae. I can certainly answer for those of popeanella 

 and plumifrontella. 



Tabulation of Species of Anaphora, Clem. 



A. Uncus abruptly angulatecl. 



a. Lateral claspers with a notch at the ends = borjotensis, Wlsm. 



b. Lateral claspers without a notch at the ends. 



i. Lateral claspers toothed on the under side = ferruginea, Wlsm. 

 ii. Lateral claspers not toothed on the under side. 



1. Points of the uncus distinctly separate =popeanella, Clem. 



2. Points of the uncus closely approximate = momsoni, Wlsm. 



Sec p. 1 is. Prof. Zeller (Verb. z.-b. lies. Wien., 1873) draws 

 attention to this difference, and points out that whereas in one 

 species the serrations are long and separate, in the other they 

 arc yet distinguishable under a miscroscope, but are shorter, 

 broader, truncated at the end. and so closely pressed together that 

 they are only divided from each other when the antenna' are bent 

 backwards.
