South American Micro-Lepidoptera. 177 
from ¢ of costa to tornus; a narrow terminal fascia : cilia purplish- 
fuscous, on basal half obscurely barred with whitish. Hindwings 
dark fuscous; cilia grey, basal third darker. 
Brazi, Petropolis; one specimen. 
OECOPHORIDAE. 
STRUTHOSCELIS, n. g. 
Head with dense loosely appressed hairs, sidetufts spreading ; 
ocelli present ; tongue roughly scaled. Antennae over 1, in ¢ serrate, 
shortly and unevenly ciliated, basal joint stout, thickened with 
scales, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, second 
joint thickened with scales, terminal joint somewhat longer than 
second, scaled, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, drooping, 
loosely scaled. Anterior and middle tibiae and first joint of tarsi 
densely tufted with long rough projecting hairscales above, posterior 
tibiae very long, densely rough-haired beneath and on basal half 
above, tarsi excessively long, rough-haired beneath towards base- 
Forewings with cell very short, lower margin strongly retracted, 
secondary cell strongly developed, 2 and 3 long-stalked from angle, 
4 absent, 5 somewhat approximated, 6 parallel, 7 and 8 stalked, 
7 to apex, 9 absent, 10 from towards angle, 11 from middle. Hind- 
wings 1, elongate-ovate, cilia }; 3 and 4 stalked, 5-7 parallel. 
Probably allied to Cryptolechia, but highly modified. 
The peculiar distortion of the veins in the forewings may 
perhaps be due to the alteration of stress involved in the 
excessive development of the posterior legs. 
Struthoscelis acrobatica, n. sp. 
3. 23-24 mm. Head and palpi ochreous-whitish. Thorax 
ochreous-whitish sprinkled with pale greyish-ochreous. (Abdomen 
broken.) Posterior legs whitish, tarsi suffused with greyish towards 
base, tibiae 8 mm., tarsi 12 mm. Forewings elongate, rather 
narrow, costa moderately arched, apex obtuse, termen very 
obliquely rounded; ochreous-whitish, irregularly clouded with 
light greyish-ochreous, especially on several indefinite patches in 
disc, a streak along dorsum, and towards termen ; a patch of fuscous 
suffusion in disc at 2 below middle: cilia white, on basal half 
obscurely barred with pale whitish-ochreous suffusion. Hindwings 
light grey; cilia whitish.
