wing. The median vein is simple and runs nearly parallel 

 to the inner margin, and enters it nearly 

 opposite the costal termination of the sub- 

 costal vein ; between these, in the middle 

 of the wing, originates an independent 

 discal branch, which is obscurely furcate, 

 its longest branch being lost before it 

 reaches the apex of wing. There are two 

 folds on the wing, which resemble veins ; 

 one above and parallel to the median vein, the other above 

 and parallel to the discal branch. 



Fore-wings elongate-lanceolate. The discoidal cell is ob- 

 liquely placed in the wing, its lower angle approaching very 

 near the dorsal margin of the wing. The subcostal vein is 

 arched, and gives off a long, oblique, marginal branch from 

 behind the middle of the wing, one at the superior angle of 

 the cell and one intermediate. 'A very short and indistinct 

 vein closes the cell posteriorly, and two indistinct apical veins 

 succeed the third subcosto-marginal branch, one of which is 

 delivered to the tip and the other to the costa behind the 

 tip.* The median vein is 3-branched, the two superior 

 branches sometimes from a common base and the posterior 

 branch extremely short and indistinct; thence the median runs 

 obliquely and direct to the base. The submedian is indis- 

 tinctly forked at its base. 



Head smooth, without ocelli. Antennas rather more than 

 one-half as long as fore-wings, setaceous, joints thickly set, 

 without hairs; the basal joint short. Labial palpi moderately 

 long, recurved, acute; second joint compressed, subclavate. 

 Tongue moderate, clothed with scales. 



Batrachedra salicipomonella.^ Fore-wings fuscous, with a 

 rather broad whitish stripe, freely dusted with fuscous, run- 



* The expression here used and illustrated by the figure shows clearly that 

 by the words " behind the tip," Dr. Clemens meant what I should have 

 called " before the tip." H. T. S.
