of the median in this species than in #ffcélisella. 1 should certainly 
have considered them congeneric, but for the absence of the tongue in 
this species, which likewise has raised tufts upon the fore wings. So close 
is the resemblance otherwise, and so rare the occurrence of a species 
allied to Gelechia without a tongue, that I suspected it might have been 
broken off; but I could discern no vestige of it, and the adjacent parts 
were uninjured. Both in this species and in G. ffcilisella the terminal 
joint of the palpi is decidedly shorter than the second, which is scarcely 
thickened towards the apex. The characters of @. dificilisella as given 
ante v. 4, p. 192, will answer for those of this genus, with the changes 
above suggested. The form of the wings and neuration of Ævippe are the 
same, except that the subcostal vein of the hind wings attains the costal 
margin before the apex, instead of attaining the apex as in ffcilisella, or 
the dorsal margin as in this genus, and does not send off a branch to the 
costal margin as in both of the others. In the fore wings dfjicilisella and 
this genus send two branches from the discal vein to the posterior margin ; 
in Ævippe there is a single furcate branch which, like the two separate 
branches in dffcilisella, arises about the middle of the discal vein, whilst 
in this genus they arise close together and to the the median vein. The 
palpi in Ævippe are more elongate and slender, with the scales more 
appressed, and the terminal joint is if anything a little longer than the 
second. idothea scarcely differs from Ævippe as to the palpi and 
resembles it in ornamentation, but the posterior wings are more excised 
beneath the tip, and have no discal branch vein, and the discal branch 
vein of the fore wings is simple and nearer to the median vein. - The 
neuration of Helice is that of Æidothea, except that the costal vein in the 
hind wings goes to the tip instead of attaining the margin before it, and 
the wing is even more excised beneath the tip, and in the fore wings there 
is no discal branch vein, but the apical branch of the median is furcate. 
The palpi, however, resemble those of G. dificilisella more than those of 
Eidothea.  Agnippe is more distinct, though the neuration of the fore 
wings only differs from that of Ævippe in having only two instead of three 
subcosto-marginal branches before the end of the cell. It resembles the 
species described below in the presence of raised tufts on the fore wings, 
but the position in repose (resting upon the face with the apex of the 
body elevated) is nearer to that of Areyresthia than Gelechia, and the 
length of the third joint of the palpi, relative to that of the second joint, 
is rather greater than in dificilisella, though less than in Ævippe, and the 
form is more robust than that of either of the other sub-genera.
