THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 69 



The discal spot is situate without and al)ove the extremity of the mesial 

 line, which is apparently the lower portion of the transverse posterior. 

 The terminal margin is narrowly fulvous. Hind wings and abdomen pale 

 fuscous, not so dark as in alhed species. Beneath paler than in its con- 

 geners. Expanse 14 mil. 



This cannot be the onagrus of Guenee, which seems to me to be the 

 same species as ho. 



Fruva, n. g. 



Although the neuration agrees with Spragucia, the three forms here 

 included differ by the bulging clypeus and the infra-clypeal plate. In 

 fasciatella this is exaggerated and the surface of the clypeus is flattened or 

 slightly depressed, reminding us of Tarache. The species are rather 

 longer winged than Spnigiieia {agrophila of Guenee in part) and differ by 

 their plain unspotted fore wnngs. The three species I would here include 

 are F. tortricina (Zell), F. fasciatella Grote (which is the generic type) 

 and the following : 



Friiva obsoleta, n. s. 



Allied to tojiricina rather than to fasciatella, but resembling the latter 

 more in color. The front does not seem to be shallowly depressed. 

 Entirely plain colored. Fore wings fuscous, overlaid with ochrey scales, 

 without markings. Hind wings pale fuscous with whitish fringes. Beneath 

 whitish, glistening ; fore wings with blackish disc and fringes, the latter 

 whitish on secondaries. Expanse 19 mil. Algonquin, Illinois, June i ; 

 Dr. Nason. 



The species Tarache angustipennis comes very near Fruva, and may 

 ultimately be removed to the latter genus. 



Tripudia, n. g. 



The little species with simple and rather short antennae belonging to 

 this genus are among the frailest of the family. They are dark-colored, 

 beneath shining, and remind one of certain Pyralidce. The body parts 

 are small in proportion to the wings ; the abdomen not exceeding the 

 .secondaries. The wings are wide, outwardly full. Eyes naked, palpi 

 rather long, divaricate, pointed. All the parts are closely scaled. Tongue 

 rather stout. Legs unarmed. (The neuration should be examined, but 

 I have only two specimens and cannot now destroy either.)
