wings straight in front, angular behind ; inferior veins rather near 

 together at the base. 



1. Artona dtscivitta. 



Nigro-fusca ; caput apud oculos subtnsque, palpi, abdominis fas vice 

 dorsales et venter fiava ; antennce late pectinatce ; alee fusco- 

 purpurece, vittis discalibus Jlavis. 



Male. Blackish brown. Head yellow about the eyes and be- 

 neath. Palpi yellow, extremely short. Antennae deeply pectinated, 

 about three-fourths of the length of the body. Wings brownish 

 purple, with a yellow stripe in the disk of each. Abdomen yellow

 of the body 4 lines ; of the wings 9 lines.

Genus 61. HETEBOPAN. 





Mas. Corpus longiusculum, graeillimum, fere lineare et cylin- 

 dricum. Caput angustum, elongatum, spina conica inter antennas 

 armatum. Palpi graciilimi, capite multo breviores ; articulus 3us 

 coniens, minimus. Antenna? crassse, filiformes, sat dense pectinatae, 

 corporis dimidio non longiores, ramis validis mediocriter longis. 

 Abdomen alarum margines posticos vix attingens. Pedes breves, 

 graciilimi ; tibiae non calcaratae. Alae breves, latae ; anticae ad cos- 

 tam vix convexae, apice vix obliquae, venis inferioribus tribus. 



Male. Body nearly linear and cylindrical, rather long, very 

 slender. Head much longer than broad, with a slender conical pro- 

 tuberance between the antennae. Palpi very slender, much shorter 

 than the head ; third joint conical, very small. Antennae thick, fili- 

 form, about half the length of the body, rather thickly pectinated ; 

 branches stout, of moderate length. Abdomen extending hardly so 

 far as the hind wings. Legs short, extremely slender ; tibiae with- 

 out spurs. Wings short, broad, in form like those of the Tortricidce. 

 Fore wings hardly convex in front; three inferior veins, second 

 nearer to the first than to the third at the base. 



This genus has a very peculiar structure, and appears to be an 

 aberrant form of the sub-family Chalcosiidce.
