Head and palpi oclireous cliestnut, tlie latter projecting three times the length of the 

 head beyond it ; the middle joint enlarged near the base, tapering towards the short slender 

 apical joint : antennte ochreous^ not ciliated in the female. Fore wings — with the costa arched, 

 especially towards the base ; the apex produced, apical margin concave — ochreous, with a faint 

 purplish gloss; the veins traceable in slender ochreous-chestnnt lines connected at short 

 intervals, especially over the apical portion of the wing, by minute transverse streaks of the 

 same colour, giving a reticulated appearance ; a darker shade, tending obliquely inwards from 

 the costa beyond the middle, is but slightly indicated ; an indistinct spot of tawny-fuscous 

 scales lies on the upper edge of the cell, before the middle of the wing. Hind wings slightly 

 emarginate below the apex, shining whitish, with a faint ochreous tinge, especially about the 

 apical portion of the wing. Type ? . Expanse of wings 23 millims. 



Vancouver's Island. From Dr. LyelFs collection. 



Walker originally created the genus " Begunna" for the reception of this species, and 

 afterwards transferred it to the genus Teras. The type was long missing from its proper 

 place in the collection, and was only lately found at the end of the series of " Teras" rostrana 

 immediately above it. 



There can be no doubt that this is the specimen described by Walker under the name 

 Begunna xanthoides ; but in the generic description there are two remarkable errors : one is 

 the statement that the "exterior border'' is "^"^ convex" (the word must have been intended 

 to be concave, a conspicuous character in this insect) ; the other is the asserted absence of a 

 proboscis, which, although not easily observed, can be detected by a careful examination. 

 I have no doubt that this is the female of Leptoris breviornatana of Clemens ; and if it does 

 not belong to the more comprehensive genus Cenopis of Zeller, in which I have placed it with 

 some hesitation. Walker's genus Begunna must probably be retained on the ground of priority. 



Before coming to the genus Dichelia, Walker describes : — 

 Batodes bipustulana = Grapholitha costomaculana, Clem. 

 AmpMsa luridana = Simaethis, sp. 



DICHELIA, Giien. 



Dichelia tunicana. (Plate LXV. fig. 1.) 



Head, thorax, and antennse ochreous brown ; patagia ochreous ; palpi brown, paler beneath, 

 projecting beyond the head scarcely more than its length ; the apical joint depressed ; abdomen 

 brown, the anal tuft ochreous ; legs pale yellowish grey. Fore wings ochreous yellow, with 

 an oblique chocolate-brown fascia extending from before the middle of the costa nearly to the 

 dorsal margin, and a broad chocolate-brown patch from beyond the middle of the costa 

 covering the whole apical third of the wing, the pale ground-colour forming a sinus on the 

 middle of its inner side ; this patch is sometimes connected with the outer edge of the central
