protuberance rises above, absorbing the rim, and its surface is irregularly 

 roughened. The structure diftcrs from Fala, in which a wedge-shaped 

 protuberance arises from a cup ; or from Plagioinimicus, which has the 

 cup empty. The scaly vestiture and the shape of the wings are dis- 

 tinctive. These latter remind one of Pippona. The costal margin of 

 primaries is long, external margin very oblique, apices produced, internal 

 margin comparatively short. 



Antaplaga diinidiaia, n. s. 



Head, thorax and basal third of fore wings white. Beyond, the wing 

 is blackish brown, limited obliquely and a little unevenly from the white 

 basal portion by the difference in color. A whitish subterminal shade. 

 A discal mark obscurely indicated on the darker portion of the wing. 

 Hind wings pale fuscous with white fringe ; beneath whitish. Fore wings 

 beneath fuscous. Expanse 30 mil. Hab. Colorado, Prof Snow.

BLASTOBASIS. 



My knowledge of this genus is derived wholly from Prof Zeller's 

 paper. It is equal in part at least to Holcocera Clem. (I have to thank 

 Prof Riley for calling my attention to the fact that in some of my refer- 

 ences to this genus the name is incc«-rectly given as Holocera.) 



B. sciaphilella Zell., as described and figured, differs from H. triangn- 

 larella Cham, as to the position, size and form of the triangular spots on 

 the wings. Sciaphilella has distinct opposite, comparatively small costal 

 and dorsal triangles, while triangidarella has no dorsal triangle, but a 

 single large costal one, wide upon the costa and crossing the fold, and it 

 also has the apical part of the wing distinctly streaked and clouded with 

 brownish gray. They do not seem to differ otherwise.
