Family SATURNIID^. 

 Genus CARNEGIA. 



Somewhat allied to genus Teratopteris Hiibner, and to Ho/o- 

 cera Felder. 



9 . Body robust, anal extremity a trifle longer than the anal 

 angle of the secondaries. Antennae short, not longer than the 

 width of the thorax, finely pectinated at the base, setose at the 

 extremity. Legs short, tibiae clothed with short, closely ap- 

 pressed hairs. The primaries have the costa straight for three- 

 fourths of their length from the base, then abruptly rounding 

 and continued to the outer angle by a straight line parallel to the 

 line of the inner margin. The outer angle is strongly produced, 

 giving the wing a strongly falcate appearance, which is inci eased 

 by a deep excavation of the outer margin just below the outer 

 angle. A similar deep excavation occurs on the outer margin 

 between the extremities of veins 3 and 4. The inner margin is 

 approximately straight, but projects downwardly over the sec- 

 ondaries by a broad tooth beyond the base. The secondaries 

 have the costal margin curved to near the extremity of vein 8. 

 The outer angle is slightly excavated; the outer margin is ir- 

 regularly crenulate, deeply excavated between veins 3 and 4. At 

 the anal angle there is a long, somewhat narrow tail-like projec- 

 tion directed inwardly. The inner margin is straight for the 

 greater part of its length, curving inwardly rapidly as it ap- 

 proaches the anal angle. The cells in both wings are bisected 

 by a fine nervule running from the discocellulars to the base. 

 The wings are ornamented by a number of irregular, translucent, 

 scaleless patches, distributed about the ends of the cell. Type 

 Carnegia mirabilis Holland. 



Carnegia mirabilis n. sp. (Plate VI) ? .Antennae fulvous. Body above 

 and below dark brown, slightly paler beneath. Legs concolorous, tarsi 

 annulated with pale gray. The primaries are ornamented with eight or 

 nine diaphanous spots located at the end of the cell on either side of the 

 discocellulars, five of which are large, the others small. Of the large 

 spots, one is subtriangular, lying just below the costa between the origins 

 of veins 6 and 7. Below this, between veins 5 and 6, is a large oblong 

 spot, separated by the discocellulars from an equally large spot located 

 at the extremity of the cell. The inner outline of this introcellular spot 

 is irregular. Below these two large spots are two unciform spots, with 

 their small ends directed upwardly, one without the discocellulars between 

 veins 4 and 5, the other within the cell. Between veins 3 and 4 near their
