joint longest, first and second joints much thickened ; mandibles reddish, 

 but black at the tips ; mesothorax shining, without parapsidal grooves, 

 broadly notched at the base of the scutellum ; scutellum with shallow 

 groove at base, the surface appearance the same as that of the thorax and 

 head. Wings a little longer than the entire body, radial nervure long and 

 narrow, areolet medium in size, radial nervure reaching, or nearly reach- 

 ing the costal margin. Feet with tarsi yellowish brown, tibiae usually of 

 the same color, but in some cases almost black, femurs blackish in the 

 middle and sometimes almost entirely black, coxae always black at the 

 base, but light at the tip.

A New Genus and Two New Species of Limacodes-like 



Moths. 



By DR. A. S. PACKARD, Providence, R. I. 



When visiting the late Professor Poey, in Havana, in March, 

 1886, he very kindly presented me with a pure snow-white Lima- 

 codes-Y\ke moth, together with its cocoon, also chalky-white. 

 It was not described by Walker, and nothing like it was to be 

 seen in the collection of the British Museum, for the opportunity 

 of examining which, in 1889, I am indebted to Dr. Giinther and 

 Mr. A. G. Butler. It appears to be an undescribed genus, and 

 one of much interest, since afterward Mrs. Slosson captured sev- 

 eral specimens (3 , i 9 ) of a closely allied species in February 

 and March, 1891, at Punta Gorda, which is on the west coast of 

 southern Florida. The genus, therefore, appears to be Antillean, 

 with a foothold in the southern extremity of Florida, and this 

 adds another to the interesting series of West Indian forms which 

 have probably been transported by oceanic currents across the 

 Gulf, either from Cuba or from the Spanish Main. 



The genus is more nearly allied to Heterogenea than to Lima- 

 codes, or the forms such as Euclea, Empretia, o\' Phobetron, whose 

 larvae are spiny. 



Eupoeya n. gen. and 9 The head is much as in Hetero- 

 genea pallida, but not quite so wide. The palpi are unusually 

 small and slender, and are extended horizontally, but not reach- 

 ing the front so as to be seen when the moth is examined from
