346 PROCEEDINGS OP THE ACADEMY OP 



Kind wings much broader than the fore wings, ovate ; branches of the subcostal 

 connivent at their origins; discal vein curved; medio-discal on an erect mo- 

 derate stalk; the two superior nervules of the median vein scarcely from a 

 common point. Head roughened; with ocelli. Face rounded, rather narrow. 

 Eyes prominent, rather large ; antennae approximated, inserted on the fore- 

 head ; setaceous, with whorls of minute cilia, pubescent beneath. Palpi ex- 

 ceeding the clypeus, ascending, rather hairy beneath and at the end of the 

 middle joint above, which is truncate; terminal joint minute, oval. Tongue 

 about one-half as long as the anterior coxae. Thorax with a bifid tuft behind. 

 Abdomen tufted in the ^. 



A. n i m b a t a n a. Head and palpi dark brown, the latter whitish beneath. 

 Thorax dark brownish, pale ochreous white in the middle. Fore wings dark 

 brownish, with an indistinct violet hue from the base to beyond the middle ; 

 apical portion of the wing whitish, with brownish dots along the costa. Hind 

 wings pale grayish fuscous. 



The larva binds together the leaves of the rose. The insect may be the A. 

 ochroleucana of Europe, and may not be a native of our continent. The 

 apical edge of the dark brownish portion of the wing is obliquely rounded, and 

 is sometimes varied with whitish on the inner margin and towards the base.

A. bipartitan a. Fore wings white, with a dark brown basal patch and 

 a rather broad central fascia of the same hue, with the apical edge straight. 

 The costa exterior to the central fascia has two or three dark brown dots; the 

 tip of the wing is varied with the same hue, and in the middle of the apical 

 white portion is a pale brownish spot. Cilia spotted with dark brown. Hind 

 wings whitish, fuscous at the apex and towards the hind margin. 



Tnis insect bears a superficial resemblance toE. fasciatana. 



Mass. From Mr. Scuddtr. 



A. ? coruscan a. Fore wings luteous, varied with dark brown, spotted 

 towards the base with metallic leaden hued spots ; a more or less distinct cen- 

 tral fascia spotted with leaden spots, especially on its edges, and a band from 

 the costa, near the tip of the inner margin, is edged with metallic leaden-hued 

 lines on both sides. The central and subapical bands are often dark brown 

 irrorated with luteous, and the basal patch sometimes distinct, and again 

 scarcely, if at all, indicated. Hind wings dark brown. 



In general appearance, this insect strongly resembles those of the genus 

 Exartema, but wants the peculiar appendage at the base of the inner margin 

 of the hind wings in the latter genus, besides differing from it in other respects. 

 In structure it agrees very nearly with the genus in which it is placed. 



Lozot.-enia Stephens. 



Fore wings nearly as broad toward the base as at the inner angle ; with the 

 costa much arched at the base, emarginate from the middle to the tip, which 

 is slightly produced upwards, and emarginate beneath the tip on the hinder 

 margin. The inner angle obtusely rounded. In the $ the costa at the base 

 has a fold or flap of scales on the upper surface. The disk is elongated, 

 slightly curved, without distinct secondary cell. The second disco-central ner- 

 vule is approximated to the medio-superior, and the posterior, very remote from 

 the penultimate, is opposite at its origin to that of the first subcosto-marginal 

 nervule. In the posterior wings the discal vein is curved and the disco-central 

 is approximated to the median system. 



Head scarcely rough, with a slight frontal tuft between the antenna?. With 

 ocelli. Face smooth and rather narrow. Eyes prominent. Antenna? separated 

 at their bases, setaceous, pubescent beneath, or microscopically ciliated. Palpi 

 ascending, cylindrical, densely clothed with short scales ; terminal joint ex- 

 tremely short, slender, ovate, about as long as the basal joint ; middle joint
