NATURAL SCIENCES OF PHILADELPHIA. 165 



Fore wings obtuse, hind margin slightly oblique. Apical branch bifid. 

 S. emblemella . Head and thorax dark brownish, with a goMen hue ; 

 face whitish beneath. Labial palpi silvery gray ; third joint fuscous in front. 

 Antennae dark fuscous. Fore wings dark brown, somewhat golden. The 

 costa at the base and a basal band are dull silvery and rather behind the 

 middle of costa is an oblique silvery costal streak and about the middle 

 is a curved costal streak of the same hue. This unites with an oblique 

 silvery streak, from the middle of inner margin, and which becomes diffuse in 

 the middle of the wing. Near the tip at the beginning of the costal cilia, is a 

 small costal silvery spot and a row of spots or short parallel bluish silvery 

 streaks along the hinder margin. Cilia at the tip ochreous, containing a dark 

 fuscous line ; on inner margin dark fuscous. Hind wings dark brown, yel- 

 lowish along the costa ; cilia dark brown. 



Endrosis ? Hiibner. 



Hind wings 10th a medio-discal branch, in addition to the discocentral ; terminal 

 branch of median bifid. Transparent patch at base, quite distinct. 



E.? Kenn ico tt e 1 1 a . Head and thorax white, with a small dark fus- 

 cous patch on the front of tegulae. Labial palpi white, terminal joint with a 

 dark fuscous ring at the base and one near the tip, with the extreme apex 

 white. Antennae dark fuscous. Fore wings whitish, much dusted with dark 

 fuscous. At the base is a white spot and the adjoining portion of the costa 

 dark fuscous ; behind the middle and near the tip is a whitish spot and oppo- 

 site the latter on the inner margin is a whitish spot nearly joining it, both 

 dusted with fuscous. Apical portion, dark fuscous, with a few whitish spots 

 on the margins ; cilia ochreous. Hind wings gray ; cilia pale ochreous. Feet 

 with tarsi annulated.

Ev AGORA. 



Fore wings rather narrow and obliquely pointed at the tip ; inner margin 

 slightly retuse beyond the middle. Discoidal cell closed by a faint, simple, 

 oblique nervure, given off from the subcostal near the third marginal branch ; 

 without disco-central nervule. The subcostal runs almost straight from the 

 base to the tip of the wing, giving off from the cell three marginal branches, 

 one near the middle of the wing and two near the end of the disk ; beyond the 

 disk it sends another branch to the costa, and before the tip becomes bifid send- 

 ing one branch above and another below the tip. The median subdivides into 

 four branches, which are aggregated at their origins, and, except the medio-pos- 

 terior, are long. The submedian is furcate at its base. Hind wings deeply 

 emarginate beneath the tip, which is abruptly produced, although short. 

 The discoidal cell is closed by a slight curved nervure, and is without a disco- 

 central nervule. The subcostal is bifid from the discal nervure, and the median 

 gives rise to a medio-discal nervule which curves much upward ; the last 

 branch of the median much removed from the two terminal branches which 

 are approximated. 



Size small, forehead rounded ; face rather narrow. Ocelli none. Eyes round, 

 moderately prominent. Antennae rather thick, simple, and about one half as long 

 as the fore wings ; basal joint rather slender but short. Labial palpi cylindrical, 

 rather short, middle joint slightly thickened toward its extremity, at least one 

 half longer than the terminal joint, which is somewhat roughened but slender 

 and pointed. Maxillary palpi not perceptible. Tongue scaled at the base, short, 

 not as long as the labial palpi. 



This genus shows some resemblance in structure to Parasia, but I think it 

 is very distinct,
