brown lines; the inner line begins considerably within the middle of (lie 

 costa, and curves outward (the curve very deep), and ends in a large, 'dark, 



oblong patch just beyond the middle of the inner edge. The outer line is 

 much less curved, and is situated midway between the inner line and the outer 

 edge. The deep, regularly rounded, subapical sinus is bordered with brown, 

 and there is a short, brown, linear, transverse streak on the inner edge, mid- 

 way between the inner angle and the black patch. Hind wings with two 

 line, brown, parallel lines, both bent at a right angle in the middle of the 

 wing. A black dot at the base of the third point. Beneath, clear ochreous, 

 paler than above, with no markings except fine scattered strigae.

This singular moth, with the peculiar cut of the wing, is so unlike any 

 other that it will be easily recognized. 



CALLIZZIA, nov. gen. 



Body short and thick; head short, very broad, much as in Callednptcryx, 

 but the front is much broader. Male an tenure simple, a little compressed, 

 finely ciliated. Palpi as in Callcdaptenj.r. Fore wings entire, subfalcate, 

 but the costal edge much arched, the apex being much rounded; outer edge 

 oblique, but entire, with a faint angle in the middle. Hind wings with a 

 deep hollow in the outer edge, armed with three unequal acute teeth, the 

 middle tooth being smaller than the others and situated near the middle of 

 the hollow. The teeth are much smaller than in Calledapteryx, and the inner 

 angle is less rectangular. Venation : three very long subcostal veins arising 

 near the inner fourth of the wing, as in Calledapteryx, the third subdividing, 

 forming a short apical fork. The tilth subcostal venule is thrown off on the 

 inner third of the sixth subcostal; while in Calledapteryx it arises in the 

 middle. The internal vein is as straight as usual. Abdomen short and thick. 

 Hind legs short and thick; tibiae swollen, with large unequal spurs; tarsi 

 two-thirds as long as the tibiae. 



The single species known is pearl-gray, gaily marked with dark, distinct 

 lines. 



This beautiful genus may be recognized by the broad, short head, the
