neighbourhood of Euplocamus, Latr., from which it 

 differs chiefly in the separation of veins 7 and 8 of the 

 fore wings. The genus Lasioctena, Meyr., seems to 

 differ from Compsoctena in the structure of the palpi, 

 which are recurved, and in having veins 6 and 7 of the 

 hind wings approximate at the base. I think I have an 

 undescribed species belonging to this genus.

 Tinea zebra, sp. n. 



Antennae, whitish ochreous. Palpi whitish ochreous. Head 

 yellow. Thorax brown, inclining to ochreous posteriorly. Fore 

 wings pale shining ochreous, the basal third of the costal margin nar- 

 rowly brown ; a brown longitudinal basal streak, tapering outwards, 

 runs along the fold to the anal angle, where it is connected with a 

 brown shade which is continued along the base of the cilia around the 

 apex ; a wedge-shaped shade of scattered brown scales points inward 

 from the apex, and terminates in a brown spot and a slender brown 

 line about the end of the cell ; cilia pale shining ochreous. Under
