470 EHOPALOCEEA. 



Our figure is taken from a male from Montana, the Mexican examples not being 

 in a good state of preservation. The genitalia are also figured (Tab. XCII. fig. 25) 

 from a North- American specimen.

Hob. Noeth America, Colorado x 3 . — Mexico, Ciudad and Milpas in Durango (Forrer). 



Mr. Forrer has sent us five specimens of 0. garita from the highlands of North- 

 western Mexico. It is a close ally of 0. powesheik, but is of smaller size ; the 

 wings are shorter, and it is of a darker colour. For the genitalia of the male, see 

 Tab. XCII. fig. 29. 



ADOP^EOIDES, gen. nov. 



To this genus we refer two Mexican species, Ancyloxypha simplex, Felder, being 

 taken as the type. It is closely allied to Adopcea, under which Watson includes seven 

 species ; the three American ones, however, belong elsewhere. 



The antennae are short, not half the length of the costa; the club stout, moderately 

 elongate, slightly curved and blunt at the tip. The palpi have the second joint 

 thickly clothed with long hairs ; the third joint is long, slender, and erect. The 

 primaries are rather blunt at the apex ; the cell is less than two-thirds the length of 

 the costa; the discocellulars are oblique, the lower one being very much shorter than 

 the upper ; the lower radial is depressed at the base ; the first branch arises a little 

 beyond the middle of the median nervure, the second immediately before the lower angle 

 of the cell ; the third median segment is extremely short, much shorter than the lower 

 discocellular. The secondaries have the discocellulars barely traceable. The body is 

 rather slender. The hind tibia? have two pairs of spurs. The primaries are without a 

 brand in the male. 



Adopceoides differs from Adopcea in having a less elongate club to the antennas ; the 

 firbt median branch of the primaries arises in both sexes from nearer the lower angle of 

 the cell, so that the second median segment is shorter, and there is no brand in the 

 male ; it may be noted also that in this sex the genitalia are very differently formed.
