reniform is obscured by the dusky shading and has no defining lines. 

 Secondaries whitish with a smoky outer border, an incomplete smoky 

 extra median line and a dark discal lunule. Beneath, primaries smoky, 

 paler outwardly, this lighter space crossed by two dusky lines. Second- 

 aries whitish, powdery, a little infuscated along the costa and outer 

 margin, with an outer dusky line and a dusky discal lunule, 



Expands : 1.05 inches = 26 mm. 



Habitat : Galveston, Texas, in May. 



One male in good condition, from Prof. F. H. Snow, is the generic 

 and specific type. The general resemblance to Fala ptychop/iora, Grt., 

 is obvious, but this is a much smaller insect. 

 Leucania pendens, n. sp. 



Ground colour dull reddish-kiteous with smoky shades and powder- 

 ings. Head with smoky powderings. Collar with three transverse leaden 

 gray or smoky lines, of which the middle is narrower than the others, the 

 upper being just below the tip. Dorsum smoky, as is also a narrow sub- 

 marginal line on the patagia. The primaries have much the appearance 

 of unipiificia, with the strigate tendency of phragmatidicola. A smoky 

 streak extends along the median vein to the end of the cell and beyond 

 it between veins 4 and 5 to the sub-apical shade, into which it merges 

 beyond the t. p. line. The white dot at the end of the median vein is 

 included in this shading. There is a distinct black spot below the streak 

 at the place of the t. a. line. T. p. line consists of an even series of 

 black venular dots. The fringes are dusky. There is a vague dusky 

 shade on costa before the apex and another below it, leaving the apical 

 area a little lighter ; but there are no strong contrasts. Secondaries 

 smoky, whitish at base, veins smoky, fringes yellowish. Beneath, pale 

 luteous, lustrous, disc and fringes of primaries dusky ; secondaries paler, 

 powdery along the costa. 



Expands: 1.32 inches = 33 mm. 



Habitat : Chokaloskee, Florida, in May. 



One female in very good condition, from Mr. George Franck. The 

 species is obscure in appearance and has resemblances in all directions. 

 The most characteristic feature seems to be the dusky central streak 

 which extends, without break other than the inclusion of the reniform, 

 almost to the outer margin.
