wings and widens on secondaries. The oiUer line crosses a. spot on 

 median vein. The subterminal line is l)roader, paler brown, and is broad- 

 ly marked on costa. Secondaries like primaries in color and distinct 

 markings, dentate, tailed ; a discal spot between the two vividly marked 

 median lines. The color is a dove gray, excejjt the brown subterminal 

 band. Beneath diffusely shaded with blackish and yellowish, more 

 coarsely irrorate, markings repeated. Head and antennae yellowish. 

 Very distinctly marked and peculiar. Expanse 26 mil. North Carolina.

Prosoparia Perfuscaria, n. g. et s. 



$ . Antennte bipectinate. Above wholly dark fuscous, the primaries 

 with two dark, tolerably propinquitous median lines, the outer continued 

 over hind wings. Beneath paler, somewhat ochrey, with a common ex- 

 terior dark shaded band. The insect has the appearance of Fidojiia ; 

 the under surface differs by its uniform appearance. Expanse 18 mil.

This genus differs from Fidonia by the unusually long labial palpi, 

 which are projected nearly straightly forwards, and extend for half their 

 length l)eyond the clypeus. Front scaled with a median ridge, formed by 

 the flattened scales meeting from both sides. Hind tibiae with two pair 

 of spurs. Legs slender, closely scaled. The insect has the appearance 

 of Fidonia ( Fcrconia). 



Fidonia Partitaria, h. s. 



(f % . Allied to Fimetaria, but distinguished by the females being of 

 a light ochrey. The male is fuscous, allowing two common lines to be 

 faintly made out ; the costa near apex shows two pale abbreviate bands, 

 and a subterminal series of spots is inaugurated to be discontinued. 

 Fringes checkered. The female is pale ochrey above, allowing two dusky 

 lines to be seen, and with the costa still paler ; a subterminal series of 

 pale spots. Beneath the hind wings show three bands of nearly coalesced 

 white spots, the basal band often broken^ the base shows a white spot, the 

 ground color, an olive ochrey, appears narrowly between the bands. In 

 the male the ovate spots are reduced, silverywhite, separate. Fore wings 

 with the disk fuscous, darker in male, the costal region ochrey, allowing 

 the lines to be seen. Arizona. Several specimens coll. Neumoegen.
