Gracilaria thiophylla. Turn. 

 I think G. liparoxaniha, Meyr., Exot. Micro., ii., p. 297 (1920), is a synonym. 



Fam. PLUTELLIDAE. 



Gen. Leuroptila, nov. 



XeupoTTTiXog, smooth winged. 



Head moderately rough haired, with anterior rough hairs on fillet ; face 

 smooth. Labial palpi rather long, smooth, drooping; terminal joint shorter than 

 second. Tongue developed. Maxillary palpi very short, porrect. Antennae f; 

 basal joint stout, with strong pecten. Posterior tibiae smooth scaled. Forewings 

 with 2 and 3 connate from angle of cell, 4 absent, 7 to costa, 8 and 10 absent. 

 Hindwings elongate-ovate ; 4 absent, 3 and 5 connate, 6 and 7 widely separate,, 

 parallel. 



Related, I think, though distantly, to Tonza, \\\k. In that genus I think 

 vein 7 is present and runs to costa, the absent veins being 5, 8, 9, and 10.
