middle of costa, an oblique dash followed by a triangular spot near 

 apex, and a submarginal stripe, with zigzag inner edge dark choco- 

 late-brown ; outer border and fringe pale brown, traversed by two 

 straight dusky lines ; a minute brown spot at middle of inner 

 margin : base and sides of palpi chocolate -brown. Below silvery 

 white ; the costal area of primaries pale brownish. Expanse 1 1 

 millimetres. 



Like A. insons of Felder, but only half as large ; also allied to 

 A. chrysogyrans, Walker (MS. ?).

 fig. G (1782). 



151. Tinea?, sp. 



This insect has lost all the fringes of its wings, so that I cannot 

 recognize its genus. The neuration of the secondaries seems to be 

 exactly that of Tinea ; but the head is too broad, and the palpi are 

 too long and robust ; in coloration and the general form of its wings 

 it is most like Cerostoma vittella.

Perhaps the most closely allied Japanese species to this one is 

 H. miranda, A. Adams. From it H. lewisii differs in having a 

 more conical spire, a narrower umbilicus, finer oblique striae, aud no 

 spiral sculpture. 



The oblique stria? at the suture are rather deeply incised and 

 more crowded than on the other parts of the whorls, many of them 

 extending only about a line from the suture and then gradually 

 fading away. The first four whorls differ from the last two in 

 being obliquely punctato-striate, instead of exhibiting an ordinary 

 striation. The brown band is situated a very little above the middle 

 of the body-whorl, and passing just above its suture, is visible on two
