Show 1897.] WEST-INDIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA. 101 Wlsm.); BRAZIL-Para3 (Mus. Wlsm.); Santa Catherina (Mus. Wlsm.). Fabricius probably changed the name lacteella to albana because Schiffermfiller had already published a Tinea lactella. Zeller (I. c. No. 3) considered tenera distinct from Fabricius's species, principally from the antennae not agreeing with the original description (I. c. No. 1), but this was emended (I. c. No. 2); and Zeller, while not admitting that tenera was a synonym of albana in the' Horae,' was evidently coming round to the opinion that his species was not distinct from that of Fabricius. I have a very large amount of material (mostly undescribed) belonging to this family, and the only species to which Fabricius's description can be applied is tenera, Z. ; I am therefore not disposed to maintain these two names as representing distinct species. 35. GONIOTERMA, g. n. (ytavia = angle ; reppa = a boundary.) Type, Phalcena (Tortrix) hurmannlana, Cram. <fe Stoll. Antennce §, basal joint somewhat enlarged, without pecten; 3 biciliate (1|). Labial palpi strongly recurved, second joint thickened with appressed scales beneath, apical joint shorter than the second. Maxillary pcdpi well developed, appressed to the haustellum. Haustellum thickly scaled. Head smooth, but with lateral hair-tufts often meeting above it. Thorax smooth. Fore wings: costa arched at the base, thence straight almost to the apex, which is slightly depressed and rounded, termen almost perpendicular, tornus rounded. Neuration : 12 veins all separate, 8 to termen below apex, 5 approximated to 4, and 6 to 7, 2 from near lower angle. Hind wings broader than the fore wings, costa depressed beyond middle (without long hair-tuft in 3 ), evenly rounded from the • apex to the abdominal angle, cilia short. Neuration : 8 veins, 6 and 7 closely approximated, 3 and 4 separate but closely approximated, 1 b furcate at base. Abdomen rather stout. Legs: hind tibiae clothed with short rough scales. Allied to Anadasmus, Wlsm., but differing in vein 8 of the fore wings attaining the termen. 113. GONIOTERMA ISABELLA, F. & R. Cryptolechia Isabella, F. & R. Reise Nov., Lp. Pl. 139. (1875)l. Hab.
