LEPIDOPTERA. 



Clemens describes a moth with narrow fore wings, and a large 

 eye-like spot across tlie inner angle, tlie venation being tiie 

 same as in lojylocama. In tliis latter genus (Fig. 2oC ; 10 a, 

 I. formosana Clemens) the wings are broader and have the 

 costa of the fore wings dilated at the base, while the lal)ial 

 palpi are broad, and reach far beyond the front of the head. 



In AnchylojJera the palpi are 

 shorter than the head, with the 

 fore wings broader than usual, 

 and the costa somewhat obtusely 

 arched towards the base, while 

 the tip is often hook-like and 

 the outer edge concave. The 

 larva feeds between the united 

 leaves of plants. A. sjnrecefoli- 

 ana Clemens is white on the fore 

 wings, with a large, reddish 

 brown dorsal patch extending 

 from the base to the middle of 

 the wing, and an oblique baud 

 from the middle of the costa to 

 about the centre of the wing ; 

 the costa beyond is streaked 

 alternately with white and red- 

 dish brown to the apex. The 

 larva feeds on the leaves of 

 Spiraea opulifolia, or Nine-bark. 

 It is pale green with a yellowish 

 tinge. (Clemens,)* 

 * Fig. 2(j0. Mr. Fish has discovered an un- 



described species which feeds on the cranberry, and which we 

 may call the Cranberry Anch^dopera, A. vacciniana (Plate 8, 

 fig. 21, enlarged). The moth is dark ash, the fore wings being 

 whitish, dusted with brown and reddish scales, with white nar- 

 row bands on the costa, alternating with broader yelloAvish
