Tamila tertia, n. s. 



Z 9. At first sight the species recalls the genus Tarache 

 (Acoulia), but the armature of the tibijB allies tlie moth to 

 HeliolhiH. It agrees witli Tamila in the fact that the vestiture 

 of the thorax consists of flattened scales mixed with hair. The 

 fore tibiiig liave a double row of short spinulcs terminating in a 

 stout shoi't blunt spine on the outside. White or with a yellow 

 brown tinge. Fore wings dark at base, with tlie t. a. line black, 

 projected on median nervure, a little irregular. The anterior and 

 widest half of the median space beyond the line is nearh^ white or 

 pale to the median sliade, showing tlie fiiintly marked orbicular. 

 Bej'ond the median shade the median space is shaded with oliva- 

 ceous fuscous, as is the rest of the wing except the rivnlous white 

 subterminal shade; the white usuall}^ obtaining again before the 

 t. p. line. Reniform rather large, outlined outwardly in black, 

 suffused with a leaden hue. T. p. line sinuate, geminate, the outer 

 component line black, bi'oken. A terminal black broken line pre- 

 ceded b}' pale shading. Fringes olivaceous fuscous, the extremi- 

 ties pale and dark dotted. Hind wings whitish with a subterminal 

 fuscous shade and discal mark. Beneath white, with a large black 

 discal mark on primaries, and a subterminal transverse fuscous 

 shade furcate superiorly. Hind wings with a faint discal lunule 

 and terminal shading. Body parts white or pale, the black 

 ovipositor shortly exserted. 



Exjjanse 26 mm. Habitat. Texas (Boll), 



A darker tinted, less whitish specimen has been sent me by Mr. 

 E. L. Graef from Texas. The dark color is less olivaceous than 

 in T. nundina^ from which the species is separable by the dis- 

 tinctly marked median lines. 



Pseudolimacodes niveicostatus, Grote. 



In my original description of this genus and species (Stett. Ent. 

 Zeitung), I referred it to the Nonfasciatae, but on account of the 

 projecting head, stout and prominent labial palpi, and in particular 

 the pattern of the ornamentation, I believe we must place it 

 among the Fasciatse of Borkhausen. The neuration has not been 

 studied. It differs from all the genera known to me in this latter 

 group by the proportionally short, stout, and distinctly brush-like 

 antennae. The obliquity of the line beneath on tiie hind wings is 

 indicative of its affinities. The lines on the primaries above are 

 like Phurys somewhat in position. The colors ai'e intense rosy
