I have not thought it necessary to give the full synonymy of this widely distributed species. 59. ENARMONIA, Hb. Type, Tortrix wceberiana, Schiff. (Steph. 1839). 163. ENARMONIA JAMAICANA, sp. n. Antennce shortly biciliate, and serrate towards the apex; cinereous. Palpi porrect, extending nearly the length of the head beyond it; pale cinereous, with a darker shade beneath the second and third joints. Head dirty fawn whitish. Thorax dull cinereous, speckled and blotched with hoary whitish. Fore wings dull cinereous, speckled and blotched with hoary whitish ; a basal patch, extending a little beyond one-third, throws out an acutely angulated projection above the fold, almost bisecting an outwardly angulated dirty-whitish median fascia, which is separated from the terminal portion of the wing by an angulated band of the same darker ground-colour as the basal patch ; this band commences about the middle of the costa in one of a series of about twelve outwardly oblique costal streaks, it is produced and dilated outwards to the end of the cell, whence it is abruptly bent back to the dorsum, becoming wider in its descent; this is bounded outwardly by a shining silvery whitish line, especially marked before the ocelloid patch, which contains six or seven black trausverse lines, and is also terminated on its outer edge by a narrow, shining, silvery band; on the apical portion of the costa a series of pale lines between the dark costal streaks assume a silvery hue, and one of them is produced to the termen below the apex, and at the extreme apex is a dark spot, corresponding in colour with the costal streaklets; cilia mottled greyish cinereous. Exp. al. 14 m m . Hind wings pale greyish brown; cilia whitish cinereous. Abdomen and legs pale cinereous. Type, 3 Mus. Wlsm. Hab. West Indies-JAMAICA (Kingston, VI.-Cockerell). Unique.

The following addition should be made to m y description of this genus :- Thorax smooth; 3 and $ with an expansible hair-pencil (arising from a point near the head) below the base of the fore wing.
