Ill 



of the disk. This discal nervure is transferred to the median 

 side, and the median nervure is three-branched. 



Head and face smooth ; vertex elongated, with long loose 

 scales overlapping in the middle. Forehead rounded. Ocelli 

 very smah 1 . Eyes small, round and salient. Antennae about 

 one-third less long than the anterior wings, basal joint long 

 and slender, the stalk slightly denticulated beneath. Maxil- 

 lary palpi extremely small. Labial palpi smooth, long and 

 porrected, their development being almost entirely in the 

 second joint, which is supplied above with long hairs capable 

 of being erected, although usually decumbent, and with the 

 third joint short, very slender, smooth and pointed, arising 

 nearly erectly at the apical third of the second, and is like- 

 wise capable of being erected or depressed. Tongue scaled 

 at the base and about as long as the labial palpi. 



A. punctipennella.* Labial palpi and head rather dark 

 ochreous, the former dark brownish externally. Antennas 

 ochreous, annulated with dark brown. Fore-wings rather 

 dark ochreous, sometimes dusted with dark brownish, with 

 three pairs of blackish-brown dots along the fold, the first 

 near the base of the wing, the second rather above the 

 middle, and the third near its end. One dot of each of the 

 latter pairs is in the fold, the other above it obliquely. The 

 costa at the base, and beyond the middle, is touched with 

 blackish, with the hinder portion of the wing dotted and 

 dusted with dark brown, especially along the hinder margin. 



* Of this species I received two specimens from Dr. Clemens ; it seems to 

 be allied to Cleodora, and I do not feel confident that it is generically distinct. 

 The exp. al. is 5 lines. H. T. S.
