discoidal coll (or slightly nearer the apex) : antenvce be- 

 neath with indistinct paler annvilations : the two end joints 

 of the maxillary palpi equal, extending beyond the head. 

 Legs brownish black, the knees pale. Abdomen with a 

 whitish line on each side : the margins of the segments 

 and the appendices slightly grayish testaceous ; app. 

 sup. forming two broad triangular plates, so closely placed 

 together as almost to appear as one piece ; apjj. inf. very 

 small, having the appearance of being formed of two 

 nearly equal joints ( (^ ) . 



Expanse of wing 6'". 



Raibl Valley, Upper Carinthia (Zeller) in July ; 20 ^ . 



I cannot reconcile this insect with the description of 

 any of the species described by Hagen in the Stett. Ent. 

 Zeit. 1868, p. 267-273. It appears to come nearest to 

 moestum, Hagen, from Spain, of which the ? only is 

 known ; but even the c? of morosum is larger than the 

 9 of moestum. 



From the same locality I have a ? which I cannot 

 doubt belongs to the above-described males, although its 

 size is much greater (expands 8|'"), and it has the 

 appearance of a 8Ho. The abdomen is injured. The 

 characters the same as in (^ , excepting the size. 



LEPTOCERID^. 



MoLANNODES Zelleei, McLachlan. 



I have received examples of this apparently very local 

 insect from Prof. Stal, taken in Smaland. My other 

 specimens have their wings expanded, but these are 

 pinned in the natural position assumed by the insect 

 when at rest, and in this position they especially show 

 the affinity of the genus with Molanna. 



Setodes mcestella, n. sp. 



Fuscous. Antennce very long and slender, one-third 

 longer in the $ than in the ? , silvery-gray with a 

 brownish tinge, not annulate; basal joint long and mo- 

 derately stout, clothed with grayish-brown hairs. Head 

 thickly clothed with long grayish-brown hairs in tufts. 

 Maxillary palpi very long, fuscovis, clothed with grayish- 

 brown pubescence; first joint short; second, third, and 

 fourth, long, nearly equal, the fourth thinner ; fifth 

 nearly as long as the third and fourth united, thin and 

 flexible. Thorax slender, blackish-fuscous, hairless.
