ON SCOPELOSOMA AND ALLIED GENERA. 



BY A. R. GROTE, BUFFALO, N. Y. 



Fueirroedia, n> g. 



The shape of the fore wings is like Scoliopteryx. and the ornamentation 

 is like that genus, while the stigmata are well defined, the course of the 

 lines being similar in the two genera. This is a much more robust form 



* This species seems to vary in color; one specimen is very like festucae in this 

 respect. A character is offered by the t. p. line, which runs inwardly to a point 

 below the discal dot in festucae, and allows of an extension of the silvering within 

 this tooth. In Putnami this sinus is rounded and shallower, 



* * Unknown to me since 1866, when I described the species and at once returned 

 the type to my friend Mr. Treat ; I indicated at the time the structural difference in 

 the length of the palpi. Both this species and thyatiroides are apparently mimetic 

 of the Bombycia?. 



* * * Contrary to Mr. Morrison's supposition, I regard this as a valid species, 

 differing specifically from the larger P. ou, taken by myself in Alabama. The t. p. 

 line is straighter, the dot of the metal mark is separate, the size is uniformly 

 smaller. 



* * * * Dr. Speyer regards this species as valid on new characters; a Californian 

 specimen does not differ from my Eastern material.
