Haworth's idionym " v-Jiava " has been changed to " v-flavum," 

 despite its acceptance, with explanation of derivation, by the 

 Entomological Societies of Oxford and Cambridge [Ace. List Br. 

 Lp. 90 (1858)], and Stephens' genus is still written " Oino2Jhila," 

 although corrected to " Oenopkila," by the same Societies {I. c). 

 Smith (Smaller Lat-Eng. Diet. 596) writes of the letter V : 

 " V, indecl. n. or (litera, suhatid.) /." Haworth's idionym is 

 therefore correctly formed, and the alteration unnecessaiy. 



152. (4621-1) Oenophila nesiotes, sp. n. 

 (Plate LIIL fig. 11.) 



Antennae pale olivaceous brownish, with a bronzy sheen above ; 

 pale yellowish beneath. Palpi short, divergent ; pale ochreous, 

 a, brownish shade on the outer side of the terminal joint. Head 

 ochreous, with a i-aised rust-brown crest between the antennae ; 

 face shining, pale yellowish ochreous. Thorax ochreous. Fore- 

 wings dark olivaceous brown, with two shining, pale ochreous, 

 transverse fasciae ; the first, at one-third from the base, angulated 

 outward at the middle, the angle produced outward along the 

 cell, forming a continuous bar reaching to the middle of the 

 outer fascia, at three-fourths from the base, which is inverted 

 obliquely from costa to dorsum ; this median bar is continued, in 

 a diflfused and rather obscure band, from the inner side of the 

 first fascia to the base, leaving the dark ground-colour broader 

 above it, and narrower below it along the margins — it is also 

 continued beyond the outer fascia, with slight interruption, along 

 the termen and through the cilia around the apex ; cilia smoky 

 brownish grey ; underside strongly iridescent, with scattered 

 metallic scales on a bronzy fuscous ground. Exj). al. 8-9 mm. 

 Hindioings bronzy brownish, with a few iridescent metallic scales
