BRACHILOMA new 
gen. 
Wings with rather short cilia. 
Hind wings broadly ovate; costa arched; hind margin circular. The 
costal vein is long removed from the costa. The subcostal vein bifid 
beyond the discal, and with scarcely a distinct basal origin. The discal 
vein has a sweeping curve, with a branch on the side of the median 
system. The median 3-branched, the two superior branches arising 
at the junction of the discal with the median. Submedian and inter¬ 
nal distinct. 
Fore wings oblong, rounded behind. The subcostal sends five branches 
to the costa, the first from the middle of the wing. The discal vein is 
oblique and sends off a branch from the subcostal and median side. 
Median 3-branched, aggregated, and arising opposite the origin of the 
last subcostal branch. Submedian long, with basal fork. 
Head somewhat rough. Ocelli none. Antennas pubescent beneath, 
about one-half as long as fore wings. Labial palpi recurved, with tips 
quite equal to the vertex, smooth, cylindrical; second joint rather thick, 
with appressed scales ; terminal slenderer than the second, pointed and 
about one-half as long. Maxillary palpi short, distinct. Tongue short, 
(?) scaled. Abdomen short, compressed laterally, slightly tufted. 
B. unipunctella. —Fore wings pale oclireous, with a single black discal dot. 
Hind wings similar in color to the fore wings. 
Antennse and head pale ochreous brown. Labial palpi, second joint pale 
brownish; terminal joint, white. 
I have a single specimen, received from Dr. Jno. Gr. Morris, of Bal¬ 
timore.

P. ochrocomella. —Fore wings pale yellow, with a broad band of fuscous atoms 
in the middle, and at the tip broadly dusted with the same hue. Hind wings 
fuscous, cilia the same. 
Antennae dark ochreous. Head shining pale ochreous. 
A single specimen, a male, and as in other species of this genus, is 
without labial palpi. 
P. ochreella. —Fore wings, hind wings and the cilia of each, shining ocheous 
and immaculate. 
Antennae russet-colored. Head and labial palpi ochreous. 
A single specimen.
