{Continued from page 43). 
Family xix. HTBEENID^. 
Genua Hybernia.. 
Hybeenia boeeophilaria, Guen^e, n. s. 
H. leucophcearice pauh minor. Alee grisece, nigro-atomoscB ; lineii 
incequalibus nigris : anticce duahus mediis infra confluentihus : posticce 
tribus sub-parallelis. Antennce ciliis longis, disiantihus. FonmincB ahs 
valde reduct(S, securiformes, pilose. 
It has some analogy with our leucophcearia, but the wings are festooned, the 
inferior almost toothed. All the wings are powdery-grey, and more or less sprinkled 
with black atoms. Superior with four black lines, the two median of which are 
irregular, and converge inferiorily somewhat as in our Boarmia rhomioidaria. In- 
ferior with only three lines, the median finer but more interrupted than the others : 
under-side somewhat paler, with the markings effaced. Body conooloroas. An- 
tennae furnished with long, but slender and distinct, pectinations. 
In some varieties the lines are partly suppressed, and lost in the atoms of the 
ground colour. 
The ? has the wings greatly abbreviated, elongated and narrow, dilated sud- 
denly at the apex, and fui'nished with bristly hairs on the margins. The blaok 
lines can be distinguished very plainly ; three in number on the superior, and two 
on the inferior. Abdomen terminating in a long and strong oviduct ; with a double 
row of black spots. 
Family xx. LAEENTIDiE. 
Genus Laeentia. 
Laeentia corcularia, Guenee, n. s. 
Statura vix L. salicatce, cui affinis. Aloe integrce, cinerece, sub-nitentes ; 
Uneolis dentatis suh-interruptis griseis, mediis duabus saturatioribus, punc- 
tulis venalibus albis : posticce supra lineis indistinctis, subtus albidce, lineia 
interruptis. Palpi porrecti, longitudine capiti cequales. Antennce pectinatee . 
It has some relationship with our salicata, of which it has scarcely the size, but 
almost the colour. One sees in it almost the same lines, which are equally denti- 
culated and badly marked ; the two median are better marked, or rather it should 
be said that the space they limit tends to become darker in their vicinity ; small, 
very fine white dots follow the elbow hne, and others indicate the subterminal ; the 
fringe is lightly sinuated with blackish : inferior wings slightly paler, with the linea 
little distinct ; beneath they are whitish-grey, with the same punctiform lines. 
Palpi forming a sort of beak almost as long as the head. Antennas furnished with 
long and very fine pectinations. 
The $ resembles the i , but the antenuss are filiform.
