TEINORHYNCHA gen. nov. 



9. Antennae simple, filiform. Palpi produced, compressed, 

 very long. The first joint is short; the second relatively very 

 long; the third very slightly shorter than the second, clothed 

 with short scales. The legs without spurs, moderately hairy. 

 Abdomen stout, not reaching beyond the inner margin of the 

 secondaries. Primaries subtriangular with the costa straight, the 

 apex rounded, the outer margin evenly rounded, the outer angle 

 obtuse, the inner margin convex. The secondaries are subpyri- 

 form, with the outer margin evenly rounded. This genus is allied 

 to the genus Scopelodus Westw. , but the last joint of the palpi 

 has not the form which prevails in that genus. In the structure 

 of the wings, it is closely allied to MzresaWalk. Type 7\ umbra 

 Holl. 



13. T. umbra sp. nov. ? . Antennae testaceous. Front, collar, thorax 

 and abdomen reddish. Palpi very greatly produced, dark brown. Legs 

 dark brown; the primaries are liver-brown, with an obscure, transverse, 

 median line, and a more clearly defined submarginal line running from 

 before the apex across the wing and terminating upon the margin above 

 the outer angle. The fringes are darker; the secondaries are pale shining 

 reddish brown, the fringes darker. On the underside the wings are pale 

 reddish brown, with the cell of the primaries clouded with obscure fu- 

 liginous, and the inner margin lighter, shining. There are a few golden 

 scales near the base of the secondaries. The fringes are darker. Expanse 

 42 mm. 



RHYPTEIRA gen. nov 



<? . Antennae moderately long, incrassatecl at the base, mod- 

 erately pectinated upon the lower half, beyond the middle simple. 

 The palpi are short, divergent. The first joint very short, the 

 second long, the third almost obsolete, clothed with a moderately 

 heavy vestiture of silky scales. The eyes are prominent. The 

 legs are heavily clothed with hairs. The abdomen is produced 

 beyond the margin of the secondaries. The primaries are mod- 

 erately long and narrow, with the costa regularly curved to the 

 apex, which is rounded. The outer margin, which is narrow, is 

 regularly curved; the outer angle is obtuse. The inner margin 

 is nearly straight. The secondaries are subtriangular, with tin- 

 inner margin straight, the costa convex, and the outer margin 

 evenly rounded. The prevalent color is brown, with darker 

 markings. Type I\. sordida I loll.
