Ferai.ia J(jcosa Guen. 



^. Not until now have 1 seen the female. The narrowed, naked, 

 lashed, compound eyes distinguish this from Moniophaiia Coiiistocki. It 

 is not possible to consider Momophana and Fcralia identical. The larger 

 eyes, smoother vestiture, less retracted head and broader clypeus suffici- 

 ently distinguish Afontophaiia. As to Comstocki, I was wrong to suggest 

 that Guenee's \ar. of Jocosa was probably Coinstocki. 1 did not know 

 then the variability oi Jocosa. I have sufficiently explained that Diphtlicra 

 is a Hubnerian name proposed originally in the same sense as Moma has 

 been used. I have restricted Mo in a to /I/. Astvr H\ibn. Verz., and 

 restored its original significance to Diphthera, where it embraces D. 

 Fa I I ax H.-S. 



Antennge simi>le. Beneath tinted with green. Hind wings with 

 mesial black lines including a black lunate discal spot; a subterminal 

 blackish shade on costal region. The rough vestiture, sunken head, short 

 palpi dis'tinguish Feral ia. 



A specimen from Mrs. Fernald. defective and faded, leads me to sus- 

 pect a second species. M. Coinstocki seems \er\- rare, and I cannot again 

 go over the characters from fresh specimens ; l)ut the genus is valid unless 

 we consider it as a grou]) of Diphtlicra (in sensu mihi). which I am not 

 as yet prepared to do. 



Mame.stra Spiculusa, n. s. 



Allied to Ciniiaharina and Hcrbiiiiaciila. Fore wings light brown, 

 with the median vein, the t. p. line and stigmata finely marked in white. 

 Cell shaded with black ; a l)lack spot below median vein on median space. 

 A pale greenish shade on internal margin subterminally ; outer edge dark, 

 cut by the fine pale irregular s. t. line. T. p. line angulate opposite cell. 

 Orbicular oblique, small, a white ring Avith dark centre ; reniform very nar- 

 row, upright. Hind wings white. Body brown. Two specimens. Ex- 

 panse 25 mil. Arizona. Coll. B. Neumoegen, Escp 



HOMOHADENA InCONSTANS, n. S. 



^ ^ . An obscure fuscous gray species with naked, lashed eyes ; third 

 palpal joint small ; female ovipositor visible. Size and appearance of 

 Induta, but with the look of an Ai^-rotis belonging to the Si/ei/sox Lagena 

 group. Transverse lines all lost ; stigmata wanting. In the female the 

 veins are marked with black, the median vein most decidedly so. In the 

 male there are no marks. The head is smoky and the collar paler. Hind
