assigned them by authors, and regard them as true Boarmirne, II gh with 



some aberranl features. Pkigalia seems to conned Anisopteryx with 

 i'.iihi/jn and Tephrosia, and I see no good reason for not placing the 

 two hitler genera in the same subfamily. 



Synopsis of the Genera. 



A. Read very small; palpi short; wings rather narrow, entire; 

 males often wingless : 



Mulo palpi very short ; antenna Bimple, ciliated, or subpeotinate; males ash- 

 gray; females dull gray, unspotted; wings obsolete Inisopferyx. 



Males like male Anisophryx, hut the antennae are pectinated, ami the females 



have wings as long as the head Phigalia. 



Male antenna' subpectiuated, with long, large cilia'; the single American spe- 

 cies of large size, light ochreous; females whitish, spotted with black.. Hybeiiiia. 



R Head of the usual size hut not prominent ; body thick and stout; 

 species of large size: male antennae pectinated; palpi rudi- 

 mentary ; legs short : 



Wiugs large, triangular, outer edge usually very oblique ; species large Eubyja. 



Wings rather narrow, oblong, outer edge not very Cibliqne; antenna' very 



broadly pectinated ; species of smaller size than in Eubyja Bistort, 



C. Body slender; palpi as well developed as usual; antennas often 



plumose; wings large, sometimes serrate; species usually 



ash-gray : 



a. Species ochreous : 



Wings angular, senate, especially in the females ; the species subochreons, with 



white spots and blotches Paraphia 



b. Species wood-gray : 



Antenna' usually plumose; wings with a slight angle; front rather narrow; 



abdomen with two rows of black spots Tephrosia. 



Wings entile ; antenna' rarely plumose ; shorter palpi and hind legs than in 



Tephrosia Cymalophora. 



Wings very large, broad, di eply scalloped ; antennae plumose ; palpi large and 



thick Bronclielia. 



Much as in Bronchclia, but the wings short and broad, slightly senate, while 



the species are .smaller, and the antenna' are simple or subpeotinate (innphos. 



Species of large size; antennae heavily pectinated ; wiugs deeply serrate Hetuerophila. 



Species of very large size; head broad, unusually full in front and on the ver- 

 tex: wings serrate Stenotrachelyt. 



Species of moderate size : w ings broad, entire, seniihyalinc ; antenna' plumose; 

 a clear, deeply-scalloped, extradiscal line common to both wings; discal 

 dots distinct Cleora.
