genera Acrolophus and Anaphora. 171 



"Labial palpi shorter in the <? than in the preceding {popea-^ 

 nella and plwmifrontella) ascending, but not recurved. Palpi 

 luteous-brown in front, dark brown externally. Thorax dark 

 brown, almost blackish. Fore wings dark brown, with an obscure 

 purplish hue; with luteous-brown on the disc and in the fold, 

 interrupted by a blackish brown, nearly square, subrnedian spot in 

 the fold, and a small one near its base of the same hue,— sometimes 

 merely a few blackish brown scales,— with an irregular blackish 

 brown spot on the end of the disc, and the costa and apical portion 

 of the wing dusted and dotted, sometimes striated with blackish 

 brown. Hind wings dark brown, tinged with black. Exp. al. 

 12 lines (= 25 mm.). Female not known." 



To this may be added :— Antennae slightly serrated towards apex. 

 Fore wings with 12 veins, all separate ; apical vein not forked. 

 Hind wings 8 veins, also separate, 7 and 8 parallel. Lateral 

 claspers slender, widening slightly towards their posterior extremi- 

 ties, which are rather square. Uncus double, rather abruptly bent 

 over, but not angulated, the points parallel, separated by about the 

 width of ©ne of them.

 Type. Stcebcrhinus testaccus, Butl. 



" UrbarcB affine genus Ypsolopho* simile, differt autem palpis 

 maris permagnis crassis, scopis terminalibus expansis, femmse 

 palpis simplicibus longulis porrectis ; antennis crassis." 



" The development of the male palpi in this genus is 

 considerably greater than in the little South American 

 genus to which Walker has given the name of TJrbara : 

 this organ curves upwards far above the head in 

 Stceberhinus, and is broadly fringed at the back, so as to 

 present the appearance of a hearth-broom. "t

 Butl., Ann. Mag. N. H., April, 1881, 402—3. 



" Primaries above pale testaceous ; six dark brown spots arranged 

 in pairs, two at the base, two just beyond the basal third, the fifth 

 (which is largest) just below the end of the cell, and the sixth in an 

 oblique line with it on the dorsal margin ; two or tbree widely 



'■'■'■ " Y. vcrbascellus especially." 



+ "The development is quite different from that m Anaphora, 

 being quite slender and only emitting divergent bristles from the 

 back of the last joint."
