grey, with pale yellowish cilia. Abdomen yellowish grey. Legs 

 whitish. 



Type, d" Mils. Hedemaun. 



Hab. West Indies — St. Thomas, 21-23 III. (Gudmann, Hede- 

 mann). Two specimens. 



101. AUXIMOBASIS CONSTATS, Sp. n. 



Antennee smoky cinereous. Palpi: apical joint scarcely more 

 than half as long as the second joint ; hoary cinereous on their 

 inner sides, with a smoky shade externnlly, except at the apex of 

 the apical and second joints. Head and thorax griseous. Fore 

 icings whitish, M-ith minute smoky speckling ; the costa near the 

 base and along the middle with a smoky shade, which also some- 

 what suffuses the cilia to the apex ; the usual three dots are small 

 but clearly defined, the first before and slightly above the middle, 

 the two outer corresponding to the apical and tornal angles of 

 the cell ; a series of less clearly defined dark smoky spots on the 

 margin on either side of the apex defining the outline of the cilia ; 

 cilia with a slight ochreous tuige about the tornus. Eap. al. 

 10-12 mm. Hind wings shining yellowish grey ; cilia also slightly 

 tinged with ochreous. Abdomen greyish cinereous. Legs pale 

 cinereous. 



Type, c? Mus. Wlsm. 



Hab. West Indies — St. Thomas, 9-27 III. {GudwMnn, Hede- 

 mann). Three specimens, 



30. Iconisma, g. n. 

 (eiKO)'t(T/xa^a copy.) 



Type, Iconisma macrocera, Wlsm. 



Antennee with strong pecten, without a notch in S , fully as 

 long as the fore wings, narrowed immediately beyond the basal 

 joint and somewhat flattened and tseniaform beyond it. 



Maxillary ptalpi short. 



Labial palpi slender, projecting, apical joint slightly shorter 

 than the second. 



Head and thorax smooth. 



Fore wings elongate-lanceolate, narrow at the base, somewhat 

 acute. Neuration : 12 veins, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa. 



Hind wings with the abdominal angle well developed, narrow, 

 tapering rapidly to an acute point. Neuration: 8 veins, 3 separate, 

 4 and 5 stalked. 



Abdomen somewhat flattened. 



Legs : hind tibiae hairy above. 



So far as neuration is concerned, the European species Blasto- 

 basis anthophaga, Stgr., should be placed in this genus ; but the 

 form of the antennae differs materially in not possessing the tsenia- 

 form character which distinguishes the type, although it agrees 

 ■with it in having no notch.
