venule subdivides; 1 lie second subcostal venule, as it were, separates fvom its 

 origin with its main vein, and arising from the Grsl about half-way between 

 the areole and the costal edge; otherwise the venation is mucbasin Deilinia. 

 It also differs remarkably in Ihe large, swollen, hind tibia', and the short, small 

 tarsi, which are only hall as long as the tibias. This remarkable genus is an 

 interesting synthetic type, combining the characters of Deilinia and Acidalia, 

 having the head and palpi of the former with the hind legs of the latter, 

 while in the venation it differs from Deilinia in the presence, of a subcostal 

 areole, in which it is also allied to Acidalia. The species may be recognized 

 by their close resemblance to those of Deilinia. 



It gives me pleasure to dedicate this remarkable genus to M. Guende, 

 to whom American entomologists are under lasting obligations for his contri- 

 butions to American lepidopterology.

10 <? and 8 9. — Body and wings pale ochreous, with ochreous strigae, 

 much as in Deilinia erythemaria. Front of the head ochreous; antenna' and 

 palpi ochreous. Both wings with a single, wavy, line, ochreous, common line. 

 There* are faint traces of two inner lines on the fore wings, much as in Deili- 

 nia, and of a single inner line on the hind wings; but these lines are often 

 nearly obsolete. Beneath, a little paler than above; four discal dots, those 

 on the hind wings much larger and more distinct than those on the front 

 wings. A submarginal row ot distinct veuular dots parallel with the outer 

 edge of the wing. Fore legs ochreous; hind legs white. 



Length of body, S, 0.40, 9, 0.40; of fore wing, <?, 50, 9, 0.50-0.55; 

 expanse of wings, 1.05-1.15 inches.

This is one of our most common moths, Hying in pine-woods and adjoin-

 of Deilinia by the series of veuular dots and the discal dots on the under
