BRACHILOMA, new gen. 



Wings with rather short cilia. 



Hind-wings broadly ovate; costa arched; hind margin 

 circular. The costal vein is long removed from the costa. 

 The subcostal vein bifid beyond the discal, and with scarcely 

 a distinct basal origin. The discal vein has a sweeping curve, 

 with a branch on the side of the median system. The median 

 3-branched ; the two superior branches arising at the junction 

 of the discal with the median. Submedian and internal dis- 

 tinct. 



Fore-wings oblong, rounded behind. The subcostal sends 

 five branches to the costa, the first from the middle of the 

 wing. The discal vein is oblique and sends off a branch from 

 the subcostal and median side. Median 3-branched, aggre- 

 gated, and arising opposite the origin of the last subcostal 

 branch. Submedian long, with basal fork. 



Head somewhat rough. Ocelli none. Antennas pube- 

 scent beneath, about one-half as long as fore-wings. Labial 

 palpi recurved, with tips quite equal to the vertex, smooth, 

 cylindrical; second joint rather thick, with appressed scales; 

 terminal slenderer than the second, pointed and about one- 

 half as long. Maxillary palpi short, distinct. Tongue 

 short, (?) scaled. Abdomen short, compressed laterally, 

 slightly tufted. 



B. unipunctella. Fore-wings pale ochreous, with a single 

 black discal dot. Hind-wings similar in colour to the fore- 

 wings. 



Antennas and head pale ochreous-brown. Labial palpi, 

 second joint pale brownish; terminal joint white. 



I have a single specimen, received from Dr. Jno. G. Morris, 

 of Baltimore.
