probably confined to the New World. I am now able to trace one of the North- 
American species through our country and southwards to Ecuador. 
1. Artace punctistriga. |

riqui (Arcé, in mus. D.), Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion).— VENEZUELA”; Ecuapor, 
Sarayacu. 
I see no reason to retain Felder’s species as distinct, as this insect is very variable ; some 
specimens being much more strongly spotted with black than others. A. punctistriga 
does not appear to be at all common, though distributed over a very wide extent of 
country. 
TOLYPE. 
Tolype, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 189 (partim) ; Walker, Cat. vi. p. 1466. 
Hibner placed three species—T. orsiloche (Cram.), from Surinam ; 7. velleda (Stoll), 
from Georgia and Mexico; and 7. riphea (Cram.), from Surinam—under this generic 
name. Walker, in his Catalogue, restricted Tolype to one species, T. velleda; but 
since that time others have been described from North America by Messrs. Grote and 
Fitch. One species only is found in our country. 
1. Tolype velleda.

Phalena velleda, Abbot & Smith, Nat. Hist. Lep. Ins. of Georgia, i. p. 108, t. 52 (g 2)?

American Moths, p. 21+. 
Hab. Norta Amurica*, New York}, Georgia ?.—MeExioo 8. 
I include this species in our fauna upon the authority of Walker. The only speci- 
mens I have seen from our country are those contained in the National Collection. 
Both sexes of the perfect insect, and the larva, pupa, and cocoon are figured by Abbot 
and Smith. The larva is said to feed on the willow-oak and on the persimmon (Dios- 
pyros virginiana). 
GASINA. 
Gasina, Walker, Cat. vi. p. 1478. 
Walker included in Gasina a single species from Para; this insect appears to be 
common and very widely distributed. Pecilocampa (t) nuda (Cramer), from Surinam, 
also belongs to this genus. 
1. Gasina albicollis.
