Caliroa, Costa. 

 Konow makes the following remark in the Genera Insectorum under 

 the genus Eriocampoides, Konow, regarding the genus Caliroa. "The 

 name Caliroa, Costa, is not fit for use as a generic name because it was 

 erected for a single male, and because the characters ascribed to it do not 

 by far fit the genus.". Konow erected his genus Eriocampoides in 1890. 

 He placed in it the following species : testaceipes, Cam., which he now 

 considers as a synonym of celhiops, Fab. ; cinxia, Klg. ; varipes, Klg. ; 

 annidipes, Klg., and limacina, Retz. So far as I am aware a type has not 

 been indicated for Konow's genus, and I would therefore indicate 

 limacina, Retz., as type. In the Genera Insectorum, Konow uses his 

 name Eriocampoides for these same species, places Caliroa, Costa, 

 described in 1859, as a synonym, and makes the statement quoted above. 

 Why his name should be any more worthy, it is hard to imagine other 

 than that it has Knw. after it. 



The American species of Caliroa, Costa, known to me can be 

 separated by means of the following table : 



1. Clypeus roundly emarginate at middle , 2. 



Clypeus broadly, angularly emarginate at middle 14. 



2. Front wings with the radial cross-vein and the free part of R A inter- 



stitial or very nearly so ; body black, with the front and middle 

 legs below the knees white ; the walls of the pentagonal area dis- 

 tinct, a V-shaped furrow behind the median ocellus, line-like in 

 width, with perpendicular walls, the lateral walls of the pentagonal 

 area continued almost to the bases of the antenn?e, somewhat 

 S shaped on the top of the ridge, distinctly swollen at their ventral 

 ends and separated at middle by a deeply-impressed more or less 

 triangular middle fovea ; the antennal furrow represented on each 

 side of the front by a large pit slightly above the ventral ends of the 

 walls of the pentagonal area, and not connected with the antennal 

 fovea ; the hypoclypeal area triangular in outline, flat ; the post- 

 ocular area twice as wide as long, the portion of the antennal furrow 

 on the vertex narrow, deep, and extending from the lateral ocelli to 

 the occiput ; the interocular furrow wanting ; antennae with the first 

 and second segments together six-sevenths of the length of the third, 

 the third segment over twice as long as the fourth, each succeeding 

 segment slightly shorter than the preceding, except the eighth and
