seven lines and of a brown yellow; a large, white, rhomboidal, 
and lateral spot on the superior wings. 
The tube of its larva is covered with little stones and frag- 
ments of shells(1). 
Certain species, such as the filosa, quadrifasciata, longicornis, 
hirta, nigra, have excessively long antennz, and maxillary palpi 
also extremely long and densely pilose. They form the subgenus 
Mysracipa, Lat. 
In the others the four wings are narrow, lanceolate, almost equal, 
and without plice. To this division belongs the 
Hyproptita, Dalm. 
Where the antennz are short, almost granose, and of equal thick- 
ness(2). 
Another subgenus—Psychomyia—might be formed of Phryganez 
with similar wings, but in which the antenne are long and seta- 
ceous, as in almost all the others. We frequently observe in the gar- 
dens of France, on the leaves of various shrubs, a very small and 
active species, the body of which is fulvous brown, and the antennz 
annulated with white; it appears to me to be new or imperfectly de- 
scribed.

In this family we still find four membranous and naked 
wings, and a mouth composed of mandibles, maxill and two
