from the cocoon at maturity, the case 
being extremely thin and delicate. 
The head of the imago is almost glo- 
bose, without ocelli, covered with closely 
appressed scales ; front somewhat pro- 
duced in the middle at the base of the 
tongue. No maxillary palpi; labial 
palpi separated, slender, curving on the 
sides and ascending to about the middle 
of the front. Antennte rather thick, but 
filiform, short, somewhat more than one 
half as long as the anterior wings. * * * 
If I have not mistaken the structural 
affinities of this species, it belongs to a 
genus not described in your ‘ Insecta 
Britannica,’ and if none has been formed 
for its reception I propose to describe it 
under the name of Diacopia.

[The insect in question is undoubtedly 
an Antispila , a genus which has been 
formed since tbe publication of the ‘ In- 
secta Britannica ’ for the reception of 
two species then placed in the genus 
Elachista. 
Our Micro-Lepidopterological readers 
will observe with pleasure the accuracy 
of Dr. Clemens’ observations and the 
correctness of his descriptions. His de- 
scription of the structure of the imago, 
his description of the larva, and his ob- 
servations on its habits, are either of 
them separately sufficient to identify the 
insect as a true Antispila. 
The plant Nyssa multifiora belongs to 
the same natural order as the Dogwood, 
which is the food of our two British 
species of the genus ( Pfeifferella and 
Treitschkiella). 
We trust Dr. Clemens will soon send 
us a few more observations of similar 
interest.]
