particularly noticeable in those individuals in which the wings are not well 

 angled. These characters are so fundamental that I remove the genus from 

 the neighborhood of Lozogramma to that of Endropia. From this genus 

 and Antepione, &c., it differs in the rounded hind wings, and their want of any 

 well-marked angle or scallops. In form, they are not unlike Heterolocha. 

 The venation is much as in Antepione, but the areole is much shorter, being 

 regularly rhomboidal, while in Endropia there is no areole. Anugugu has 

 therefore an interesting combination of the characters of Sclidosema, Antepione, 

 Endropia, and Heterolocha. 



As regards the selection of a generic name, Numeria must be dropped 

 for either Hiibner's Anagoga (1S18) or Stephen's Azinephora (1829) ; the 

 former should evidently be retained.

3 <f and 2 9. — Pale rusty-ash, with a faint lilac tinge, with numerous 

 brown scales and strigae. In the middle of the fore wing, a dark-brown band, 

 contrasting with the rest of the wing; inner side of the band moderately 

 oblique, the edge being straight, not sinuate. On the outer side, the band is 

 deeply hollowed out below the second median venule, the curve being very 

 regular, and toward the costa the baud retreats toward the middle of the 

 wing, so that the band is just as wide on the costa as at the lower portion 

 opposite the excavation. Below the costa, the band sends out three prolonged 

 teeth on the last subcostal, and the first and second median venules respect- 

 ively. Beyond, the wing is colored as near the base. Hind wings, more 

 densely speckled than fore wings, with a short, straight, brown line, starting 

 from the inner edge near the inner angle, and fading away before reaching the 

 middle of the wing; otherwise, the wing is unmarked. Beneath, no lines,
