240 THE CANADIA.N ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Other, 7 ends in the outer margin and 8 in the costa a little before the 

 apex, 1 1 arises from near the basal fourth of the subcostal vein ; cell 

 closed and with the superior and inferior cellular veins both present, but 

 difficult to distinguish. Hind vikings ovate, with eight veins, three internal 

 veins present, i b forked at the base, 2 beyond outer fourth of median, 3 and 

 4 stalked, base of stalk and 5 and 6 arising nearly equidistant, 8 free from 

 the base of wing, cell closed, with two cellular veins very indistinct, 

 median not hairy above towards the base. 



The only species under this genus occurring in North America so 

 far as known at present is vicarialis, which Zeller described and published 

 in the Verhandlungen der k.k.zoologisch-botanischen Gesellschaft, p. 322 

 (1875), gi^^^g th^ habitat " Maine or Massachusetts." This species is 

 unknown to me. 



Genus CHOREUTIS, Hiib., Verz., p. 373 (1826). 



Head smooth, with the front sloping ; labial palpi with the first and 

 second segments armed beneath with long bristles, those of the second 

 segment collected into four tufts nearly as long as the segment itself, the 

 third segment slim and pointed, about as long and but little larger than 

 the tufts on the under side of the second segment; proboscis short; eyes 

 medium, hemispherical ; ocelli present ; antennae about two-thirds as 

 long as the costa, ciliate in the male, simple in the female ; thorax 

 smooth, hind tibiae hairy along the upper and lower sides ; middle and 

 hind tibise thickened with scales at the middle and end ; abdomen 

 untufted ; uncus present, claspers large. 



Fore wings oblqng ovate, with metallic markings ; twelve separate 

 veins, i with a fork at the base about one-third of the length of the vein, 



2 arises from the outer fourth of the median, 3 to 5 usually arise nearly 

 equidistant from each other, though in some species 3 and 4 arise from 

 one point or very near each other, and 5 and 6 are more remote than the 

 others, 1 1 arises from the basal third of the subcostal, superior and 

 inferior cellular veins generally visible. Hind wings ovate, with eight 

 veins, i b forked at the base, 2 arises from the outer fourth of the median, 



3 and 4 stalked or coalesced, 5, 6 and 7 arise nearly equidistant, 7 from 

 the upper angle of the cell, 8 free, from the base of the wing ; cell closed, 

 with two very indistinct cellular veins, median not hairy above towards 

 the base.
