beneath, including the legs The basal black hair-line is rather farther from 

 the insertion of the wing than in the other species; is regularly curved, not 

 wavy, and ends the same distance from the insertion of the wing on the inner 

 edne as on the costal edge of the wing. Just within the linear discal dot is 

 a line black line, curved out ward from the costa to just below the median vein, 

 where it makes a re-entering angle, and thence is directed outward again, 

 ending obliquely beyond the inner edge of the wing; the extradiscal line 

 runs parallel and very near to it. There are no other markings on the wing. 

 Hind wings exactly like the fore wings, with no markings except the indis- 

 tinct discal dot. Beneath of the same color as above, with no markings 

 except the four discal dots. 



Length of body, <?, 0.33; of fore wings, cf, 0.46; expanse of wings,

Kentucky (Sanborn, Ky. Gcol. Survey, Mus. Comp. Zool.). 



This pretty species differs from the other by its uniformly chocolate 

 color, and the two outer parallel sinuate lines much nearer together than 

 usual, the inner nearly touching the discal spot. 



In the museum of the Peabody Academy of Science is another species 

 from Texas, much smaller, with very narrow wings, but with similar mark- 

 ings and of the same color as in the present species. The outer edge of the 

 wing is much longer than in either 'of the two larger species.

Head of moderate size ; front square, moderately full. Palpi very small 

 and slender, acutely pointed, porrect, not projecting beyond the head. An- 

 tennae plumose, the branches thick and slender. Fore wings with the costa 

 full, especially toward the base of the wing, the apex rectangular, outer edge 

 much as in Aspilates, not very oblique, and moderately convex. Hind wings 

 much more produced toward the apex than in Aspilates, and not angled in 

 the middle. Venation iu its general relations as in Aspifales, but there are 

 two subcostal cells, the inner varying in size, lozenge-shaped, the outer long 

 and narrow, linear, curved, much as in Aspilates. The independent vein
