LOctob 
1. Cncemidophoeus (Wallengren). 
Antennas of both sexes with very short cilia. Forehead without ani 
only a few slightly prominent hairs between the antenna. Palpi not longei 
the head, the intermediate joint thickened with down, the last joint shoi- 
pointed. Legs short, all the tibice thirkened towards the apex by a tuft of s( 
the posterior tibijB thickened in the middle. First pair of spines in the pes 
tibia3 slender and very unequal, second pair nearly equal. Anterior wine 
divided to a third part of their length, the segments broad, the posterior seg 
almost hatchet-shaped, the posterior angle of both segments well marked.' 
divisions of the inferior wings wide, the third segment with the anal angle dis 
The anterior wings flat, covering the inferior, the inner margin not toothed. 
This genus contains only one Swedish species, found also 
rarely in the south eastern part of our island, viz., Cn(emidopTi 
Thododactylus. That this insect is rightly separated from the g. 
Platyptilus of Zeller there can be no doubt ; the difference in the i 
alone would be sufficient for this. The name seems taken from 
thickened tibi»; but why the diphthong should be used and the v 
written Gnoemidoplwrus is to me unintelligible. 
2. Plattptilus (Hiibn.) (Zeller). 
Antennas of both sexes with very short cilia. Forehead adorned with a r 
or less elongated tuft. Palpi longer than the head, rather rounded, slightly asc 
ing, with the last joint more or less elongated, sometimes a little drooping. I 
longer, slender, the tibiae sometimes slightly thickened towards the apex. I 
pair of spines in the posterior tibiae slightly unequal, second pair almost eq 
shorter than the shortest spine of the first pair. Anterior wings not divide 
the thu-d part of their length, the segments broad, the posterior segment aln 
hatchet-shaped, the posterior angle of both segments well marked. The segment 
the inferior wings more slender, the third division with the anal angle suffioie: 
marked, but nearer to the base. The anterior wings flat, covering the inferior whei 
rest. The veins of the anterior wings ten in number ; 1st and 2nd separate, com 
from the base, the 3rd from the posterior margin of the cell, the 4th and 5th ft 
the posterior angle of the cell, all ninning into the posterior segment, the 
commg out near the anterior angle of the cell, and running into the posterior a. 
of the anterior segment, the 7th two-branched, coming out from the anterior an 
of the cell, and running into the apex of the anterior segment, the 8th and I 
coming out from the anterior side of the cell and running into the anterior mar 
of the wing, the 10th coming from the base and ending almost in the mid 
of the anterior margin. The cell well marked, with a very slender little transve 
vem, almost straight, closed. Veins of the posterior wings three in number; < 
1st coming from the base, two-branched running into the anterior segment, t 
2nd three-branched, running into the second division, and the 3rd simpre, runni 
mto the third division. No cell.
