  Tribe 
  : 
  Stenoptiliidi. 
  

  

  This 
  subfamily 
  and 
  tribe 
  obtain 
  their 
  name 
  from 
  Hiibner's 
  coitus 
  

   Stenoj)tiliae 
  of 
  the 
  family 
  Cuspides 
  (Verz., 
  p. 
  430). 
  In 
  this 
  coitus, 
  he 
  

   unites 
  our 
  Stenoptiliids 
  and 
  Leioptilids, 
  whilst, 
  in 
  the 
  other 
  coitus, 
  

   Aciptiliae, 
  of 
  this 
  family, 
  be 
  places 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  our 
  Alucitines. 
  

   Zeller, 
  in 
  1841 
  and 
  1847, 
  failed 
  to 
  separate 
  the 
  Stenoptiliids 
  from 
  the 
  

   Leioptilids 
  and 
  other 
  allied 
  groups, 
  but 
  Her 
  rich 
  -Schaffer 
  came 
  nearer 
  

   to 
  making 
  the 
  necessary 
  division, 
  his

  In 
  1862, 
  under 
  the 
  generic 
  name 
  MimaeseopHlus, 
  the 
  Stenoptiliids 
  were 
  

   treated 
  as 
  a 
  separate 
  division, 
  which 
  was 
  then 
  diagnosed 
  by 
  Wallengren 
  

   (Skandinaviens 
  Fjaderniott, 
  p. 
  18) 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  Antenme 
  of 
  the 
  <? 
  fringed 
  with 
  very 
  short 
  hairs. 
  The 
  frontal 
  tuft 
  raised 
  into 
  

   a 
  blunt 
  cone. 
  Palpi 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  bead, 
  compressed 
  laterally, 
  the 
  middle 
  joini 
  

   thickened 
  above 
  with 
  hairs, 
  the 
  last 
  joint 
  short, 
  blunt, 
  scarcely 
  to 
  be 
  distinguished 
  

   from 
  the 
  preceding. 
  The 
  posterior 
  tibiae 
  slender, 
  not 
  thickened. 
  The 
  first 
  pair 
  of 
  

   spines 
  in 
  the 
  posterior 
  tibia' 
  equal, 
  the 
  second 
  pair 
  slightly 
  unequal. 
  The 
  anterior 
  

   wings 
  cleft, 
  to 
  a 
  third 
  part 
  of 
  their 
  length, 
  the 
  segments 
  more 
  slender, 
  the 
  upper 
  one 
  

   with 
  a 
  distinct 
  posterior 
  angle, 
  the 
  posterior 
  lanceolate, 
  with 
  the 
  posterior 
  angle 
  

   not 
  well-defined. 
  The 
  segments 
  of
