210 PROCEED INOS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vol xxxm. 



Alar expanse. — 17 mm. 



Hindivings shining, pale brownish gray; cilia pale brownish 

 ocherous. 



Abdomen and legs pale brownish ocherous. 



Type. — Male, No. 35527, Mus. Walsingham. 



Habitat. — Arizona, 1882 (Morrison, collector). Unique. 



A narrow- winged species, differing much in appearance from any 

 already described, and quite unlike such exponents of allied genera as 

 I have before me. 



CYNOTES, new genus. 



Type of genus. — Blasfobasis iceryaeeUa Riley. 



Antennse not more than §; basal joint slightly dilated, curved, hol- 

 lowed beneath, with a strong pecten consisting of thick scale clothing; 

 a distinct deeply excised notch beyond it; beyond this the antennae 

 are biciliate, the ciliations diminishing in length outwardly. 



Maxillary palpi meeting above the base of the haustellum. 



Labial palpi recurved, reaching above the base of the antennae. 



Haustellum moderate, clothed. 



Head thickly clothed, moderately broad, a fringe of long diverging 

 hair scales beneath the eye. 



Thorax smooth. 



Forewings elongate, widening outwardly. 



Neuration, 12 veins; 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa; rest separate. 



Hindwings at least as wide toward their base as the outer half of 

 the forewing; flexus angulate; apex obtusely rounded. 



Neuration, 8 veins; 3 and 4 connate; 5 separate; 6 and 7 separate. 



Abdomen rather short, flattened. 



Legs stout, hind tibiae and tarsi clothed with hair-scales, the tarsi 

 less cons])icuously. 



Allied to Hypatopa, from which it differs in the notched antennae 

 of the male.

Doctor Dyar evidently regards this species as an importation from 

 Australia, but we still lack exact information, for Doctor Riley omitted 

 to furnish any data when describmg the species. Through the kind- 

 ness of Doctor Howard I received some of Coquillett's specimens 

 labeled "Pupa on orange." These may have been imported, but 

 they can not affect the fact that my collector, the late Thomas Eedle,
