(Plate VI.) 



Eurycttarus tracyi nov. sp. 



Male. Antennae larger and more broadly pectinated than in confed- 

 erata, each pectination terminated with a bristly tuft ; thorax heavy, 

 densely hairy; abdomen hairy, in dried examples barely exceeding sec- 

 ondaries ; wings broad ; primaries short, costa full, apex so rounded that 

 no angle is discernible ; secondaries broad, evenly rounded ; color smoky 

 brownish gray, the primaries and thorax slightly darker than the sec- 

 ondaries and abdomen ; wings without markings, not very opaque, in 

 some lights with a brilliant purplish-blue reflection beneath, fainter 

 above; expands 17-19 mm; vein 6 absent on both wings, which refers 

 this insect (Neum. and Dyar, Jour. N. Y. Ent. Soc. u, 118) to Euryct- 

 tarus Hamps. ; the anal vein of primaries forks at half its length from 

 base, the upper branch arching in a regular curve, not angled at its 

 point of widest separation as in confederate.; vein 8 of primaries not 

 stemmed with 9 before reaching cell, or in some examples very shortly 

 stemmed (in confederata the stem is as long as the remaining length 

 of 8 from stem to margin of wing) ; on secondaries the oblique vein 

 from 8 divides the vein at about half its length from base; in confed- 

 erate this oblique vein is about one third distant from the base ; other 

 differences, due to the widely different wing-shape, will appear by com- 

 parison.
