species differs from Gorham's species by having- the prothorax 

 broader than long (longer than wide in viridiaeneus} ; the 

 mouth, antennae and palpi black and the legs dark (these parts 

 red in viridiaeneus) and the sculpture of the thorax and elytra 

 is quite different. 



One specimen. San Angel, D. F., Mexico. 



Type in collection of Prof. Wickham. 



PRIONOSTICHAEUS nom. nov. 



The above term is here proposed to replace the generic name 

 Prionodera Wolc., (Publ. Field Mus., Chicago, VII, 1910, p. 

 396) which I find is a homonym of Prionodera Chevr. (Dej. 

 Cat. Col, 2nd ed., 1834), a genus of Chrysomelidae. 



Three new Brazilian Micro-Lepidoptera. 



By W. D. KEARFOTT, Montclair, N. J. 

 Anacrusis iheringi sp. n. 



Exp. $ 25-26 mm., $ 28-30 mm. 



Head and collar dark chocolate brown, mixed with black ; face and 

 palpi pale clay-yellow, speckled with dark brown; antennae clay-yel- 

 low, dark brown above ; thorax, abdomen and legs, light clay-yellow. 



Forewing $, pale clay-yellow, transversely finely strigulated with a 

 darker shade, the strigulations forming faint costal dashes. On the 

 outer half of wing, above middle is a long horizontal chocolate brown 

 triangular streak, beginning at end of cell, its upper edge nearly reaches 

 apex, but bends acutely downward toward middle of termen, the lower 

 edge is broadly concave and below it is a cloud of brownish scales. 

 This brown mark is bordered anteriorly by a broad and outwardly by 

 a narrow silver white edging. In some specimens there is a tendency 

 of the brown mark to become broken near its inner end. In the apex 

 is a small white spot transversed by a narrow chocolate brown line. 

 Cilia clay-yellow. 



Hindwings light clay-yellow, with a few brown flecks in apex. 



The 9 is generally darker than the male. The triangular mark on 

 forewing is replaced by a dot of brown at end of cell in middle of 

 wing and half way between this dot and apex is a silvery white round 

 spot, enclosing on its inner side a lunate spot of chocolate brown. Be- 

 tween these and reaching to costa the ground color is much darker, 

 forming a quadrate costal spot.
