THE CAISALUA^ EM'O.MuLUGlS'J'. 77 



Figured in my Illustrated Essay under Cliariclca. I l)elie\e that 

 Pyrrhia of Spe3er, Hu1)ner and myself, of which the type is the European 

 Uiiihra. and of which we ha\e three congeneric American forms, Ex- 

 priiiiens. Angiilata and Sti//a. is a different genus from Cliariclca Kirby, 

 of which the type I take to he the European Dclphinii. 1 originally 

 referred the moth as allied to Gorty/ia. and it may yet be better placed 

 there when its earlv stages are known. 



AcoPA Harvey (1875). 



7yJ>c : Acopa Carina Harvey. 



In this genus the body is linear and slight, the tibiae unarmed, ocelli 

 small, male antennae brush-like with distinct joints, thorax with a tuft 

 behind (in which it resembles the Heliothid genera Oxyc/ici/i/s ami 

 Triocncmis). abdomen untufted. linear. I'he neiu'ation is somewhat dis- 

 tinctive. Fore wings 12-veined with accessory cell, from the outer apex 

 of which spring veins 7 and 8, 9 out of 8, a long furcation to costa. Hind 

 wings 7-veined ; median 3-branched : 8 out of 7 not tar from the l)ase. 

 The legs are slender, tibiae unarmed. Dr. Harvey gives the characters in 

 the Buffalo Bulletin, and figures the type from a Texan example. The 

 species are white, hoary or pallid. I have seen the type of hicana, which 

 is sufficiently distinct in appearance, but from its vague markings looks 

 like some suffused varieties, as for instance, var. Planum of Anytus 

 Sciilptus. Carina is the smaller species ; the type had the secondaries 

 dark fuscous, but another specimen was paler. Pcrpallida is much 

 stouter, the lines different, and it differs structurally in the smaller acces- 

 sory cell on fore wings. It is chalky white, shaded with ochrey. and with 

 narrow fuscous lines, the median farther apart than in Carina.
