Brazil, Para, Tefle; Peru, Jurimaguas (Parish); 3 ex. A 
distinct form, perhaps related to campylocles. I am compelled to 
suppress the genus Aphanoxena, in which it would be placed, 
because I find its components to be derived from four different 
groups of Antaeotricha , the stalking or coincidence of 7 and 8 having- 
arisen independently in each instance; the group is therefore 
heterogeneous and cannot stand, and the characters of Antaeotricha 
must be enlarged to admit this variation of structure. Energia 
Wals. is the same genus and therefore also sinks in Antaeotricha ; 
it was referred by its author (or his specialist assistants) to the 
Gelechiadae , stated to be “ an early form of the Glyphidocera group,” 
and ‘‘closely allied to Durrantia'” (atypical Xyloryctid), whilst 
they do not even recognize Antaeotricha as distinct from JStenoma 
placed in a widely separated family Stenomiclae , a striking instance 
of erroneous classification based on artificial characters.

nected dark grey streaks on veins 2-4 towards base, and a dorsal 
dash below these; a strongly curved series from costa beyond 
middle to tornus of cloud y fuscous neural spots on upper part and 
short neural dashes on lower part interrupted on vein 8 ; a 
marginal series of blackish linear marks round posterior part of 
costa and termen: cilia white. Hindwings ochreous-white, a 
wedgeshaped dark grey apical spot; costa dilated on anterior half, 
with strong projecting fringe of dark grey outwardly white hair-

Antaeotricha celidotis, n. sp. 
d . 18-19 mm. Head, thorax ochreous-whitish. Palpi whitish, 
second joint externally light grey, with dark fuscous streak on basal 
half, base of terminal joint dark grey. Borewings ochreous- 
whitish ; a blackish spot on costa at extended on costa anteriorly 
by grey suffusion; dorsal half suffused light ochreous-grey, on 
tornus forming a rounded blotch extending | across wing but not 
reaching termen except towards tornus ; a light greyish dot resting 
on this at indicating first discal stigma; dorsal edge ferruginous 
towards with a dot of dark grey irroration; a grey dorsal dot at 
|; a series of 4 or 5 undefined greyish spots from beneath costa 
beyond middle to dorsum before tornus; a dark grey dash on costa 
about f, and 3 or 4 partly confluent triangular marginal maiks
