less rounded than in Aspilates, bul more rounded than in Lythria, (he apex 

 being much rounded. The abdomen is long and slender, lulled much as in 

 Aspilates. The bind legs are very Long and slender, the four tibial spurs long 

 and slender; larsi as long as the tibiae. Coloration: fore wings, head, and 

 thorax green; abdomen and hind wings ochreous. 



This genus would at first be mistaken for one of the subfamily Gome- 

 t/rince, from the green thorax and tore wings, but the characters are like those 

 of Aspilates, as seen in the palpi, which are larger, but very much broader, 

 in the heavily-pectinated antenn;e, the long slender hind legs, and the peculiar 

 form of the abdomen. The venation is similar to that of Aspilates, but a 

 careful study could not be made on the single specimen received. 



Chloraspilates bicoloraria, -v/a nov. Plate 1 3. 



1 <?. — Head and palpi greenish-ochreous ; antenna' dark brown; thorax 

 above and fore wings deep pea-green: costa ochreous: apex, however, green. 

 Three black small costal spots, the third one the largest and sinuate. On the 

 basal third of the wing is a faint, pale, straight line, which ends at the same 

 distance from the insertion of the wing on the inner edge of the wing as on 

 the costal. A straight extradiscal dark line. No discal dot or any other 

 markings on the front wings, which are uniformly dull-greenish. The hind 

 wings are pale-ochreous, dusted with pinkish scales, and with a brown extra- 

 discal line, and faint traces of a parallel submarginal one. Beneath, both 

 wings are uniformly ochreous, with pinkish speckles, but with no markings. 



Length of body, <?, 0.43; fore wings, c? , 0.45; expanse of wings, 0.90 

 inch. 



Bastrop, Tex. (Meske). 



This beautiful species may be readily distinguished by its small wings, 

 the anterior pair being dull green, and the hinder pair rather bright ochreous. 

 Larentia profugaria (H.-Sch., Aussereur. Schm, p. 66, figs. 410, 411) may 

 belong to this genus; at any rate, it is allied to Aspilates, and does not belong 

 to the Larenfince. He gives the locality as North America. 



STENASPILATES,* gen. nov. 



This genus is closely allied to Aspilates, but the wings are much narrower, 

 •and it differs in other important respects. The palpi are large and broad, 

 ' art i 6c, narrow, in allusion to the narrow wiuga ; Aspilates
