Show 1891.] MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA OF THE WEST INDIES. 511 SETOMORPHINJE . SETOMORPHA, Z. SETOMORPHA RUPICELLA, Z. Setomorpha rupicella, Z. Hand. Koug. Svensk. Vet.-Ak. 1852, pp. 95-6. West Indies-Cuba (Havannah, Z.). This species, having been described by Zeller in a paper entitled "Lepidoptera Microptera quae J. A. Wahlberg in Caffrorum terra collegit," is not unlikely to be overlooked. ANAPHORINJE. E U L E P I S T E , Wlsm. Type, Eulepiste cressoni, Wlsm. (United States). In the original description of this genus (Tr. A m . Ent. Soc. x. p. 169, 1882), which was not corrected in m y revision of the Anaphorina? (Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1887, p. 142), I fear that I must have mistaken the basal joint of the palpi for the second joint, the second joint being much less roughly clothed than the basal, and the apical joint is almost smooth. The proportionate length that they bear to each other is approximately as follows :-the second joint is rather longer than the apical joint, and the basal joint is about equal in length to the second ; the apical joint stands for its whole length clear above the head, but it is not recurved. EULEPISTE UMBRATIPALPIS, sp. n. (Plate XLI. fig. 10.) Antenna? pale fawn, closely barred above with dark umber-brown, basal joint dark umber-brown above. Palpi very dark umber-brown. Head pale fawn above, speckled with dark umber-brown. Thorax pale fawn, shaded anteriorly and around the margins with dark umber-brown and a few reddish-brown scales. Fore wings pale fawn, thickly spotted and shaded with dark umber-brown, with some reddish-brown scales intermixed, the markings on the costal margin somewhat more distinctly separated from each other than are those on the wing-surface ; the most conspicuous and darkest shading is above the anal angle, on the space between the end of the cell, and on the lower half of the costal margin ; cilia dark umber-brown, mixed with pale fawn and reddish brown. Underside shaded with dark umber-brown, a pale fawn line running along the base of the cilia and around the apical margin. Hind wings cinereous, a slightly paler line running along the base of the cilia. Underside cinereous. Abdomen cinereous; lateral claspers slender, evenly depressed posteriorly ; uncus slender, double, the points closely approximate. Hind legs dark brownish ; tarsal joints spotted with pale fawn. Exp. al. 19 millim. Hab. West Indies-San Domingo, 1884. Type, 3 Mus. Wlsm. I have a single specimen, for which I am indebted to Dr. Fernald. PROC. ZOOL. Soc-1891, No. XXXV. 35 |
