Only one example (without abdomen) stands in Mr. 

 Edmonds' collection. 



(Ecophora, Zeller. 



This genus contains several distinct groups which ought 

 to be separated generically ; the Chilian species now to 

 be described agrees most nearly in structure with (E. 

 sidphurella. 



57. (Ecophora minnetta, n. s. 



Sericeous silvery white ; primaries with a few widely- 

 scattered black scales ; base of costal border black ; an 

 irregular black costal patch, as in Cryptolechia roseo- 

 costella, Wlsm. (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1881, pi. xii., fig. 

 26), a dusky subapical costal spot ; fringe of all the wings 

 and of the posterior tibial cream-coloured ; primaries 

 below sericeous greyish-brown ; secondaries shining 

 white, with brown costa ; palpi with the basal two-thirds 

 of the second joint and the tip of the third joint black 

 externally ; body and front legs below sericeous-brown ; 

 posterior legs pearly white, the tarsi banded above with 

 black. Expanse of wings, 17 mm.

Hyperskeles, n. g. 



Allied to (Ecophora, aspect of Dasycera ; secondaries 

 broader than in either genus ; the primaries rounded at 

 apex, but with the external angle well defined and con- 

 sequently with short fringe ; antennae filiform ; palpi 

 slender, porrect, long and widely separated ; legs long 

 and thick, but not fringed.
