190 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Chytoryza, n. g. 



$ ^ . This form I would refer to the series of A//omis, Aletia, 

 Pteraetholix. It much resembles the latter in size and color, but it differs 

 by the external margin of the primaries being even, not sinuate, and the 

 want of the $ venational characters. Eyes naked, prominent, legs un- 

 armed, abdomen smooth, cylindrical, untufted ; wings wide and ample, 

 thorax smooth, untufted. The shape of the wings recalls Poaphila, but 

 the apices are blunt, not pointed. Male antennas simple, ciliate beneath 

 slender. 



Chytoryza tecta, n. s. 



£ $ . Primaries cupreous brown with the lines fine, denticulate 

 accompanied by whitish scales. Reniform conspicuous, being inferiorly 

 filled in with white or yellowish scales, forming a prominent spot which 

 strikes the eye at once. The upper portion of the reniform is obsoletely 

 indicated. The brown shade of the subterminal space deepens up to the 

 s. t. line, which is relieved outwardly by a fine powdering of pale scales, 

 Fringes blackish, paler at the tips. Secondaries wholly blackish, without 

 line, with fringes whitish at tips, at base obsoletely interlined. Beneath 

 pale, hind wings irrorate, with a median denticulate line and small black 

 discal mark preceded by an obsolete dash. Fore wings darker with the 

 terminal space and costal region shaded with yellowish. Legs pale, 

 thorax above like fore wings. Expanse 23 mil. Texas (O. Meske).
