In this sex, the labial palpi are short, not exceeding the front to which they are closely applied, porrect. In the male they are reflexed and thrown back over the dorsum of the thorax, which they equal in length. In colour and appearance the sexes do not differ. In repose the ♂ labial palpi are closely applied to the thorax in the living specimen, and from their pale ochrey outer colour have the effect of thoracic vittae.

In the spring of 1871, my attention was attracted by the peculiar manner in which many of the leaves of the Laurel Oak (Q. imbricaria) were rolled up. The cases thus formed were compact and cylindrical, varying in length from one third to one half an inch, by an average diameter of one-fifth of an inch, and very neatly finished up. Several of them were opened, and each found to contain a single, smooth, spherical, translucent-yellow egg, about 0.04 inch in diameter. Desirous of rearing the insects, I collected quite a number of the interesting little nests, and watched, with much curiosity, for the larvae to appear-not knowing, at that time, what to expect.

At page 92, ante, I have described as Depressaria albisparsella, a species which, on examination of other specimens, I have concluded to make the type of a new genus. As stated on a preceding page, the species was described from a single captrued,specimen, the wings of which were not spread. The specimen was also slightly injured, so as to cause the brush on the palpi to appear to be divided, and to obscure some of the markings of the wings, which are faint even in perfectly fresh specimens. Since then I have bred and captured other specimens, and find that it differs from Depressaria in the following particulars

The following is a description of Limochores bimacula, Scuds ♂ , Hesperia acanoatus, Scudd., which I drew up some time ago:-

Dark brown marked with chrome yellow.

Above: head, thorax, abdomen and antennae black, the head and abdomen having a few yellow hairs. Both wings dark olive brown; primaries with a indistinct spot a little above and beyond the outer termination of the disk; a large patch extends over the middle third from the outer margin to the disc, and is crossed by a black velvety dash, which if continued would bisect the apical angle

In making a general survey of the Animal Kingdom, it is impossible to avoid being struck by the remarkable parallelism which exists between the several orders and families, and even genera and species, that compose the respective classes into which it is divided, and which reveals itself in the representative types that abound throughout its whole extent.
