Dallas, Tex. (Boll, Mas. Peab. Acad. Sc, Mas. Corap. Zool.). 



r riiis description is drawn up in part from Professor Zeller's type-speci- 

 men. Il is one of the most delicate and beautiful species of the family, and, 

 with ils falcate fore wings, excavated hind wings, with their acute apex, the 

 broad pink margins of the wings, and the deep yellow middle portion, need 

 not be confounded with our other species of the family.

Body rather stout; abdomen of the male short and stout compared with 

 those of Selidosema and Lozogramma. Front full and convex. Palpi large 

 and long, though shorter, ascending and reaching by nearly the length of the 

 head beyond the front; second joint very long; third short, conical, very 

 small, depressed. Male antennae heavily pectinated nearly to the tip; in the 

 female, simple. Fore wings with the costa arched rather more than usual; 

 the apex acute, a little produced, but hardly subfalcate; outer edge bent more 

 or less on the first median venule. Hind wings considerably produced 

 toward the apex, which is rounded, of much the same shape as in Selidosema, 

 the outer edge not being very full, while the inner angle is well marked. 

 Its venation differs remarkably from that of Lozogramma and Selidosema in the 

 presence of a short, broad, rhomboidal, subcostal areole, there being no areole 

 in Selidosema, and the areole in Lozogramma being very long and narrow. 

 The discal venules taken together follow a much curved line, much more 

 regularly bent than in the allied genera named. Hind legs with the tibiae 

 long and slender, not swollen; tarsi nearly its long as the tibiae. 



Coloration usually ochreous-gray, dusted with ochreous-brown, with a 

 single brown band, and tinged beneath with violet. 



This genus has the front, palpi, antennae, venation, and hind legs of 

 Endropia, bat with the shape of the wings <>l Selidosema and Lozogramma^
