black patch with a faint shade extending to the inner edge and to the cost a 

 edge. The costa is edged narrowly with black, alternating with whitish. 

 Beyond the third line, the wing is rather darker than within, being dull brick- 

 red ; the fringe is blackish-brown, faintly checkered with a lighter shade. 

 Hind wings bright deep orange, with a black spot on the inner angle, and a 

 linear black discoloration in the middle of the inner edge. Beneath, both 

 wings uniformly deep orange, with dark strigse on the extreme edge of the 

 costa, a few faint strigse toward the apical portion of the wing, but no lines. 

 Fringe black, checkered with brown. Hind wings more strigated than 

 anterior pair, with a single reddish, extradiscal line. No discal dots. Legs 

 dark, ringed with pale reddish. 



Length of body, ? — ; of fore wing, 0.45; expanse of wings, 0.96 inch. 



Lawrence, Kans. (Snow). 



This beautiful species differs from Lythria rilevaria in the broader, 

 more angulated fore wings, the equidistant lines, and the large black patch 

 in the middle of the wing near the outer edge, in the internal angle of the 

 hind wings, and by the bright-orange hind wings. This species is named 

 after my friend Prof. F. H. Snow of the University of Kansas, who has done 

 much to develop a knowledge of the entomology of Kansas. 



LOXOFIDONIA,* gen. nov. Plate 2, fig. 8. 



Front of the head of the usual width, no narrower than usual, moder- 

 ately convex. Palpi very long, projecting over half their length beyond the 

 front ; they are long and narrow, and seen sideways somewhat spindle- 

 shaped ; the third joint is long and narrow. Antennae of male plumose, 

 being intermediate in the length of the branches between Eufidonia and 

 Ematurga. Fore wings with the costal edge arched much more than usual, 

 the apex much produced, not acutely so, however, while the outer edge is 

 very oblicpie, rather more so than in Perconia. Hind wings much produced 

 toward the apex, with the outer edge full and rounded ; the form of the wing 

 is intermediate between Ematurga and Perconia. The venation differs 

 entirely from Ematurga or Evjidonia, and is more like that of Perconia in its 

 general features. The subcostal areole is formed in the usual way, there 

 being six subcostal branches; the areole is small, short, broadly triangular.
