THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
Family VI. Glyphipterygid.'f.. 
How luxurious it would be on a baking 
hot day to sit down in the shade and 
watch an insect twice the size of Thraso- 
nella, and all pearl and gold, fan itself! 
There is something quite cooling and re- 
freshing in the thought; yet the genus 
Glyphipleryx has exotic representatives, 
as I have an Australian specimen allied 
to our Equitella, but with the white 
markings replaced by yellow, and no 
doubt some species may be expected to 
occur which surpass in size and beauty 
the magnificent European Loricalella. 
The genus Tinayina is one of those 
excessively likely to be overlooked by any 
but a practical collector of Tineina; the 
smallness of the insects, and their peculiar 
appearance on the wing, render them so 
unlike most Lepidoptera that they are, 
on that account, very apt to escape the 
attention they merit. The mine of the 
larva is so peculiar that a mined leaf, 
referable to this genus, picked in South 
America would be very valuable. 
The genus Antispila lias been lately 
created to receive the two allied species 
of Pfeiff'erella and Treitschkiella , and it 
seems by no means improbable that 
other species may be expected in tro- 
pical countries. The small oval case 
cut out of a large blotched mine ought 
to be a sure indication of the larva of 
this genus. 
Family VII. Argyresthidje. 
We have no information on the point 
whether this genus is represented in hot 
countries, and therefore the capture of a 
few of our little friends standing on their 
Jieads would not be devoid of interest. 
Family VIII. Gracilariida;. 
This family seems abundantly repre- 
tented abroad ; I have specimens from 
India, from Australia and from South 
America: some of tluse insects, though 
evidently to be referred to this family, 
do not agree with any of our existing 
genera. Hence a tine series of beautiful 
species may be expected to reward the 
diligent explorer, and it would be of im- 
portance to notice the position in repose 
of those discordant species, for the recep- 
tion of which new genera will have to be 
created. Of the genus Ornix l have not 
seen a single exotic specimen. — H. T. S.
