approximating towards the costa, is a dark patch ; preceding which is a very minute black speck, and the costa 

 in front of this is much freckled with blackish scales ; apical margin with an irregular row of minute black 

 specks. 



ANACAMPSIS, Curtis. 

 The insects in this extensive group have the antennse longer than in the preceding genus, and the fore wings 

 are narrower and lanceolate with the tips obtusely rounded, the palpi are long, slender, and bent upwards in 

 front of the eyes, with the terminal joint acuminated ; the spiral tongue is shorter than the palpi. Like Depres- 

 saria, however, the wings in repose are horizontal and incumbent ; the legs are of moderate length, and the 

 wings generally simple in their colours, and obscure or confused in their markings. 



Species 1. — Anacampsis malvella — (Curtis and our Plate CIII., Figs. 15, 16) — Measures 7 lines in 

 expanse ; fore wings uniform brown, with two small black dots on the disc before the middle, placed obliquely, and 

 another a little beyond the middle ; hind wings rather paler brown ; fringe concolorous. Described from Mr. 

 Bentley's cabinet.
