fold, reverting to the dorsal margin ; beyond it the white ground- 

 colour is less sprinkled for a short space, but the apical third of the 

 wing is blotched with brownish-grey spots, more or less connected 

 by intermediate scattered scales — one central at the end of the cell ; 

 two costal, the first immediately above the central one, the other 

 beyond it ; one apical at the extreme apex ; two less conspicuous 

 dorsal ones, the first small, immediately below the central spot, the 

 second also inconspicuous, immediately opposite the outer costal spot ; 

 cilia dingy whitish, with some brownish-grey scales running through 

 them wherever the dark spots touch the margin. 



Hind wings pale grey ; cilia whitish grey. 



Abdomen very pale brownish grey. 



Exp. al. 6 1 millim. 



Hab. West Indies — St. Vincent (1 specimen, Smith), 



Type, ? . 



A small but sufficiently distinct species, probably approaching 

 cumulatella, Z., from South America, but having a whiter ground- 

 colour. 



Tinea sp. 



West Indies — St. Vincent (I specimen, Smith). 



A single specimen in too poor condition to determine.

Dendroneurinjh, subfam. nov. 



Labial palpi strongly developed, folded. 

 Fore wings with veins 5, 7, and 8 out of 6. 



Dendroneura, gen. nov. •=? ^3faiM<n*g ^ 

 (levlpov = a tree ; revpov = a nerve.) 

 Type, S Dendroneura pi-cestans, Wlsm. (Plate XLI. fig. 6, a-c.) 



Antennce nearly as long as the fore wings; basal joint flattened, 

 scarcely enlarged. 



Maxillary palpi well developed, folded. 



Labial palpi short, depressed, clothed with appressed scales ; apical 

 joint scarcely shorter than the second, flattened, subovate. 



Haustellum moderate. 



Head much flattened, with a strong brush of radiating scales from 

 each side behind the eyes. 



Thorax somewhat flattened, smooth. 



Fore ivings long, narrow, acuminate, costal and dorsal margins 

 nearly straight, anal angle obsolete ; a narrow mat of scales along the 

 costal margin beneath gives the appearance of a downward fold. 



Neuration: 12 veins; 2 from near lower angle of cell ; 3 from angle 

 of cell ; 4 separate from 3 ; 6 from upper angle of cell to apical
