This species, having been described by Zeller in a paper entitled 

 " Lepidoptera Microptera quae J. A. Wahlberg in Caffrorum terra 

 collegit," is not unlikely to be oTcrlooked. 



Eulepiste, Wlsm. 



Type, Eulepiste eresson*, Wlsm. (United States). 



In the original description of this genus (Tr.Am.Ent. Soc. x. p. 169, 

 1882), which was not corrected in my revision of the AnaphorincB 

 (Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1887, p. 142), I fear that I must have mis- 

 taken the basal joint of the palpi for the second joint, the second 

 joint being much less roughly clothed than the basal, and the apical 

 joint is almost smooth. The proportionate length that they bear to 

 each other is approximately as follows : — the second joint is rather 

 longer than the apical joint, and the basal joint is about equal in 

 length to the second ; the apical joint stands for its whole length clear 

 above the head, but it is not recurved. 



Eulepiste umbratipalpis, sp. n. (Plate XLI. fig. 10.) 



Antennce pale fawn, closely barred above with dark umber-brown, 

 basal joint dark umber-brown above. 



Palpi very dark umber-brown. 



Head pale fawn above, speckled with dark umber-brown. 



Thorax pale fawn, shaded anteriorly and around the margins with 

 dark umber-brown and a iftw reddish-brown scales. 



Fore ivings pale fawn, thickly spotted and shaded with dark umber- 

 brown, with some reddish-brown scales intermixed, the markings on 

 the costal margin somewhat more distinctly separated from each other 

 than are those on the wing-surface ; the most conspicuous and darkest 

 shading is above the anal angle, on the space between the end of 

 the cell, and on the lower half of the costal margin ; ciha dark 

 umber-brown, mixed with pale fawn and reddish brown. Underside 

 shaded with dark umber-brown, a pale fawn line running along the 

 base of the cilia and around the apical margin. 



Hind luings cinereous, a slightly paler line running along the base 

 of the cilia. Underside cinereous. 



Abdomen cinereous ; lateral claspers slender, evenly depressed 

 posteriorly ; uncus slender, double, the points closely approximate. 



Hind legs dark brownish ; tarsal joints spotted with pale fawn. 



Exp. al. 1 9 millim. 



Hub. West Indies — San Domingo, 1884. 



Type, 6 Mus. Wlsm. 



I have a single specimen, for which I am indebted to Dr. Fernald.
