ON THE GENUS LEUCOBREPHOS. 



H\ A. R. GROTE. 



In my Check List (1876) I proposed three new generic names, Con- 

 servula, Oxyloszx\^ Leucobrcphos. I have since discarded Oxylos and 

 given the character which separates Conscrvitla from Trigonophora Led. 

 There remains Leucobrcphos, which, owing to the kindness of Mr. Butler, 

 who has examined Walker's types for me. I now describe as follows : 



Leucobrkphos Grote : Type : Aiiarta Brcphoides Walk. 



Male antennae with longer pectinations than Brcp/ios, and broader. 

 Palpi concealed by the beard-like hair, more thickly hirsute than in Brephos. 

 Eyes narrower, smooth, naked. • The neuration differs by veins 3 and 4 

 of primaries arising from a common foot-stalk. On secondaries veins 3 

 and 4 arise from a long stem, diverging near the margin. 



Leucobrcphos Brephoides has been twice redescribed, by Prof Zeller as 

 Archicaris Rcsoluta and from a mutilated specimen by myself as Meli- 

 clcptria Hoyi. Its occurrence in the United States, Wisconsin, is remark- 

 able. Although I originally, nearly twenty years ago. .determined the 

 species from the Yukon River, in the Proceedings of the Entomological 

 Society of Philadelphia. I failed to recognize the species from the speci- 

 men (wanting antenna; and legs) sent by Dr. Hoy. The genus seems to 

 be sub-arctic and probably embraces Amphidasys Middejidorfii, from 

 Siberia, besides the North American type.
