EXOTIC MICROLEPJDOPTERA. 
cilia pale yellowish, base yellow within a fuscous subbasal line, a 
white basal dot in subapical sinuation, above apex a dark grey hook 
on apical half. Hindwings 3 and 4 stalked ; grey, darker towards 
apex; cilia light grey, a dark grey basal shade. 
Colombia, Mt. Socorro, 12,500 feet, July; 1 ex. Although very 
dissimilar to the other known species of the genus, it is structurally 
normal, and perhaps represents a peculiar mountain type. 
Glyphipteryx oligastra, n. sp. 
$ . 17 mm. Head, thorax dark bronzy-fuscous. Palpi with 
three whorls of black white-tipped scales, then black lined white, 
towards apex wholly white. Porewings termen slightly sinuate, 
oblique ; dark bronzy-fuscous, more bronzy posteriorly; scanty 
small scattered dots of pale violet-golden-metallic scales, especially 
several somewhat larger round tornal area: cilia grey, basal half 
bronzy. Hindwings dark fuscous ; cilia grey, darker towards base.

ANOMOLOGIDaE. 
Characters at present those of the single genus Anomologci. 
This cannot be associated with any others known, and it is 
necessary to treat it as the type of a new family, which may 
apparently be related in some way to ancestral forms of the 
Xyloryctidce, judging from the type of hindwings, but is otherwise 
discordant in the quite different type of palpi, the long anterior 
tarsi, and also particularly in the furcation of vein 7 of the hind¬ 
wings, which does not occur as an established character in any 
other genus of the Tineina except Mendesia in the Elacliistidce , 
where it still lacks explanation, but at any rate cannot possibly 
have any connection with the present case. If this apical furcation 
of a vein had occurred in a single specimen, I should undoubtedly 
have regarded it as an individual abnormality of a not uncommon 
type, of which I have recorded a number of instances, but since it 
occurs here in both hindwings of two specimens belonging to 
different species, it becomes in this instance extremely improbable 
that the structure is not normal. At the same time the situation 
is so curiously affected by the extraordinary crop of similar 
abnormalities occurring in the second species, and the further 
improbability of the single examples of the two species being taken 
in the same locality on the same day, that 1 can only regard my 
views here expressed as an hypothesis which must await confirma¬ 
tion by the capture of further material. This may not be soon 
forthcoming, and meanwhile it seems desirable to call attention to 
the case.
