LOBOPHORA.—CLEOMANTES. 149 
LOBOPHORA. 
Lobophora, Curtis, Brit. Ent. vi. t. 81 (1825) ; Packard, in Report of the U.S. Geol. Survey of the 
Territ. x. p. 179, t. 1. figg. 14, 14.@ (neuration). 
Lobophora is represented in North America by about nine species, and two from 
Mexico are now somewhat doubtfully added. The genus is very widely distributed. 
1. Lobophora (?) orthesia, sp.n. (Tab. LV. fig. 9, 3.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries very pale brown, crossed by darker brown lines; the primaries with three 
dark brown marks on the costal margin, a black spot at the end of the cell, and a very fine white 
submarginal line extending from the apex to the anal angle, the marginal line spotted with black, the 
fringe pale brown; the secondaries crossed by two brown bands; the underside very much as above, 
but with all the lines more indistinct: head, thorax, and abdomen pale brown, the antenne and legs 
dark brown. Expanse 17 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. H. Smith). 
Two males of this extraordinary insect were captured by Mr. Herbert Smith. ‘The 
secondaries in this species are greatly reduced in size, and their shape will be best 
understood from our figure. 
2. Lobophora (?) cerevia, sp. n. (Tab. LV. fig. 10, 3.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries yellowish-fawn-colour ; the primaries crossed from the costal to the inner 
margin by three fine brown lines—one near the base, the second beyond the middle, the third sub- 
marginal, the first zigzag, the second and third waved,—and with a spot on the costal margin towards 
the apex and a streak at the end of the cell dark brown, the fringe yellowish-fawn-colour; the 
secondaries with a submarginal line similar to that on the primaries; the underside very much as 
above: head, thorax, and abdomen yellowish-fawn-colour, the antennz pale brown, the legs brownish- 
fawn-colour. Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hoge). 
One specimen. 
CLEOMANTES, gen. nov. 
Head small; antenne simple; palpi with the third joint long, pointed ; abdomen elongate, extending more 
than half its length beyond the wings ; primaries long and narrow, their costal margin straight almost 
to the apex, where it is slightly rounded, the apex pointed, the outer margin slightly curved, the inner 
margin straight ; secondaries long and narrow, their outer margin from the apex to the anal angle 
deeply dentated ; hind tibie with two pairs of spurs. 
Type Cleomantes merens, Druce. 
1. Cleomantes merens, sp.n. (Tab. LV. fig. 11, ¢.) 
Male. Primaries reddish-brown, darker along the costal and inner margins ; secondaries brownish-black, with 
the anal angle and part of the outer margin creamy-white ; the fringe reddish-brown ; the underside very 
much as above: head, thorax, and abdomen reddish-brown, the terminal segments of the latter and the 
anal tuft creamy-white, the antenne pale brown, the anterior and middle legs brown, the hind legs 
creamy-white. Expanse 1,3, inch.
