948 LORD WAL5INGHAM OX THE []S OV. 26, 



densely sprinkled with fuscous throughout, except along a narrow 

 line running from the base to the lower angle of the cell, with 

 a slight break about its middle ; on either side of this break 

 is a small spot of raised dark fuscous scales, two similar spots 

 appearing on either side of the outer end of the pale line, the 

 lower spot in each case being a little further from the base than 

 the one above it ; there is also an indication of a small group of 

 dark fuscous scales resting on the upper edge of the cell at its 

 base; cilia cinereous, sprinkled with fuscous. Exp. al. 12 mm. 

 Hindwings and cilia dark tawny brown. Abdomen brownish 

 cinereous. Legs pale cinereous, slightly dusted with fuscous.

The most persistent efforts to secure another specimen of this 

 very distinct species were unsuccessful.

 Type flolcopogon sopkroniellus Rbl. 



Antennae nearly as long as the forewings, slightty serrate ; 

 without pecten. Maxillary Palpi short, dependent. Labial 

 Palpi clothed with projecting scales beneath, these extending 

 beyond the base of the terminal joint ; terminal joint not more 

 than half the length of median, smooth. Haustellum well- 

 developed. Head and Thorax smooth. Forewings elongate, lan- 

 ceolate, the dorsum slightly more convex than the costa : neuration 

 1 2 veins ; 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to termen ; rest separate. Hind- 

 wings 1, apex slightly depressed, termen very oblique, almost 

 sinuate, nexus moderately developed ; cilia 1 : neuration 8 veins ; 

 6^and 7 long-stalked : 3 and 4 stalked. Abdomen smooth. Legs, 

 hind tibiae slightly hairy above. 



Has much the appearance of Apiletria Ldr., to which it is closely 

 allied, but differs in having vein 7 of the forewings to termen, in 

 which it agrees with ftymmoca Hb. ; differing from Symmoca, as 

 also from Apilelria, in its more roughly clothed palpi, with much 

 shorter terminal joint.
