176 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [May, 



I refer this species with doubt to the preceding genus, owing 

 to the form of the secondaries, but decline at present to erect 

 another genus for its reception. 



CIROPTERYX gen. nov. 



$ . Palpi very minute, appressed. Antennae half as long as 

 costa, minutely pectinated. Primaries elongated ; costa nearly 

 straight, or very slightly curved ; apex truncate ; outer margin 

 produced before the middle, then rapidly returning to the inner 

 margin, which is half as long as the costa. The outer margin 

 after the point where it is most strongly produced, forms a line 

 to the inner angle, which is nearly parallel to the costa. The 

 secondaries are subpyriform, with the outer margin regularly 

 curved, or slightly produced about the middle of the outer 

 margin. The abdomen is produced for fully one-third of its 

 length beyond the inner margin of the secondaries and is clothed 

 at its extremity with two broad and long tufts of hair. The 

 colors of the genus are prevalently browns and olives. Type C. 



viridifascia Holl. 



^ 



12. C. viridifascia sp. nov. <$. Antennae; thorax, and abdomen brown- 

 ish cinereous; underside of thorax dark ferruginous; underside of abdo- 

 men pale vinaceous; anal tufts lighter. 



Upperside: primaries and secondaries lilacine-brown, both crossed on 

 the middle by a broad and somewhat irregular band of olive-green, 

 margined external!}' and internally by lines of dark brown. There is a 

 small brown discal dot at the end of the cell of the primaries. 



Underside: both primaries and secondaries are dark ferruginous, with 

 the discal area of the primaries clouded with blackish. The secondaries 

 are slightly paler than the primaries. Expanse 30 mm. 



13. C. OChreata sp. nov. <$. Antennae testaceous; front ferruginous; 

 upperside of thorax and abdomen fawn; pectus reddish; underside of 

 abdomen and thorax pale ochraceous, legs concolorous. 



Upperside: primaries pale greenish olivaceous, clouded at the base and 

 on the outer margin with lilacine-brown. Secondaries brownish with the 

 costa and transverse median fascia pale stramineous. There is a small 

 discal dot at the end of the cell on both wings. 



Underside: primaries and secondaries bright ochraceous, with the outer 

 third heavily shaded with lilacine-brown, the darker area being defined 

 by a straight line running from the apex of the primaries to near the 

 middle of the inner margin of the secondaries. The bright inner ochra- 

 ceous area of the wing is marked with obscure reddish spots and stria?. 

 Expanse 29 mm.
