(Continued from pag-e 332, Vol. XLII.) In continuing my paper, the title becomes doubly appropriate, for it is necessary to erect still another genus for the reception of a species, whose position would seem to fall between Pherne Hulst and Stenaspilates Pack., although it differs from these associated genera in having veins 6 and 7 long-stemmed in secondaries. It is to be regretted that none of the examples before me is a cC, so that my diagnosis refers only to the 9 form, but I seek to supplement it by pre- senting a figure of the venation herewith, and call the genus Apicrena, nov. gen. $ .—Palpi long, beak-like, the terminal joint long and drooping ; antennag long, strongly pectinate to tips. Front loose scaled, with conic hair-tuft above clypeus. Tongue developed, thorax and abdomen without tufts, the latter heavy. Fore tibiae unarmed, hind tibiae long, slightly swollen, with two pairs of spurs. Primaries long, falcate at apex, margin doubly crenate to vein 4, straight to anal angle, 12 veins, 10 and 11 from cell, 8, 9 and 10 joining beyond cell at a point, 11 barred with 12 above cell, 6 and 7 from point, 3 and 4 separate. Secondaries rounded at apex, margin with a strong excision between veins 6 and 4, vein 8 parallel to cell for half cell's length, 5 wanting, 6 and 7 long stemmed, 3 and 4 separate. No fovae present. Type Apic7'ena calca^'ia, n. sp. Expanse, 32 mm. All above white, more or less sprinkled with pale chocolate scales, the primaries, thorax and head being quite evenly coloured and darker, while the abdomen and secondaries are nearly white, the latter thinly sprinkled, but shading slightly darker toward margin. Along costa of primaries a few fine black scales are scattered, clustering June, 1911. Fig. 11.—Venation of Apicrena, nov. Please note th
