Head and face metallic, dark fuscous. Palpi whitish. Antennee 
dark fuscous, the extreme tips whitish. Anterior wings bright orange, 
with an oblong silvery spot at the base near the costa, and with a 
silvery slightly angulated fascia before the middle, internally margined 
with black; on the costa are three equidistant silvery spots, gradually 
diminishing in size, and nearly opposite the second is a larger silvery 
- spot on the inner margin; along the inner margin and costa, between 
the spots, are some black scales ; cilia fuscous, preceded by a few silvery 
seales. Posterior wings fuscous, with paler cilia. 
Old specimens of this insect are in the collections of Mr. 
Ingall, Mr. Allis, and the British Museum. 
Genus X. ANYBIA. 
Anysta, n. g. Llachista p., Zell. 
Capilli leves, frons obtusa. Antenne abdomine longiores, setacez, 
articulo basali elongato, clavato, crassiuscule. Palpi labiales me- 
diocres, recurvi, articulo secundo compresso, subclavato, tertio bre- 
viore acuto. Haustellum mediocre. Ale longissime ciliate, ante- 
riores Jeves, dorso non dentato, posteriores lineari-lanceolatie ; 
anteriores: vena apicalis furcata, infra eam ven quinque in mar- 
ginem posticum exeuntes; vena subdorsalis in basi donge furcata, in 
apice non longe distat ab apice submedianee incrassato ; posteriores : 
e cellula discoidali venze quinque subobsoleta in marginem posticum 
exeunt, in costam una. 
Head smooth, the forehead obtuse. Antenne longer than the ab- 
domen, setaceous, rather thick, the basal joint elongate, clavate. 
Labial palpi of moderate length, recurved, the second joint com- 
pressed, subclavate, the third joint shorter, pointed. Tongue of mo- 
derate length. Wings with very long cilia, the anterior smooth, with 
no projections from the inner margin; the posterior linear-lanceolate, 
Tn the anterior wings the apical vein is fureate, below it five veins run 
into the hinder margin; the subdorsal vein has a dong fork towards the 
base, its apex is not far distant from the thickened apex of the sub- 
median vein; in the posterior wings five rather obsolete veins proceed 
from the discoidal cell to the hinder margin, one to the costa. 
This genus at present only contains a single species, which 
is extremely scarce in this country, and consequently we know
