CECOPHORIDiE 
281 
Morocco, Rabat, bred March from larva feeding in February on 
leaves of Cynara scolymus (Composites ), the true artichoke (cocoon 
Feb. 23rd, emerged Mar. 14th) (S. Kozovslcy) ; 1 ex. (Brit. Mus.). 
Very near subpropinquella , for which it might be mistaken, but 
apparently separable by the distinctly less oblique termen of fore¬ 
wings, the more striking mottled appearance and greater development 
of black scales of forewings, and the remarkable development of 
the thoracic crests, but this last point might only be recognisable in 
bred specimens. Of course subpropinquella is a variable insect, but 
1 have seen none with the same mottled appearance. N o Depressaria 
has been recorded hitherto from the Cynara . The seasonal appear¬ 
ance (exceptional for any Depressaria ) should also be noted. 
Periacma lagophthalma, n. sp. 
2 . 10 mm. Head, thorax light fuscous, slightly mixed pale 
ochreous. Palpi ochreous-whitish, second joint with basal, median, 
and subapical suffused dark fuscous bands, terminal joint with 
median dark fuscous band. Forewings elongate, costa gently 
arched, more strongly towards pointed apex, termen extremely 
obliquely rounded ; 7 to apex; fuscous irrorated dark fuscous ; 
a narrow irregular rather oblique pale ochreous-yellow fascia from 
costa before middle, obsolescent dorsally, first discal stigma forming 
an elongate black dot on it; two small blackish spots transversely 
placed in a pale ochreous-yellow spot on end of cell ; an irregular 
semioval pale ochreous-yellow blotch on costa at |, enclosing a 
small dark fuscous costal spot: cilia grey, three darker shades, base 
slightly dotted pale ochreous round apex. Hindwings grey ; cilia 
light grey. 
Formosa, Musya, July (S . Issilei) ; 1 ex. 
AT0P0TQRNA, n. g. 
Head loosely scaled; ocelli posterior; tongue short. Antennae 
d filiform, minutely ciliated, scape very elongate, slender, without 
pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, sickleshaped, second joint 
thickened with appressed scales, roughly expanded at apex above, 
terminal joint shorter than second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi 
short, porrected, filiform. Middle tibiae tufted with rough scales, 
posterior tibiae clothed with long hairs above. Forewings with 
scaletufts on surface; 2 from near angle, 2-4 rather curved, 
parallel, 5 and 6 straight and near together, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to 
costa, 9 and 10 from end of cell, 11 from before middle. Hindwings 
somewhat under 1, elongate-ovate, cilia 1 ; without cubital pecten; 
2 from |, 3 and 4 connate, 5 and 6 nearly approximated towards 
base, 7 remote, parallel. 
Abnormal in position of 5 and 6 of hindwings, but probably allied 
to the Eatorna group. 
Atopotorna ptychoptila, n. sp. 
S . 13mm. Head whitish-ochreous, face whitish. Palpi whitish, 
second joint with submedian ring and apex irrorated dark fuscous,
