form) approximate, superposed, situate at the extremity of the discal 

 cell, set in a ground of pale scales, surrounded by the here acute outward 

 projection of the transverse posterior line. Two others (the orbicular) 

 further apart, obliquely placed, the lower and outer below the median 

 vein. Both the transverse lines distinct, irregularly zigzag, continued, 

 relieved against pale accompanying shades. Subterminal line apparent 

 by the paler terminal, contrasting with the darker subterminal space, even, 

 a little bent. Terminal dots : the dark fringes marked by paler shades 

 opposite the dots ; these paler shades extending on the terminal space 

 before the dots as longitudinal streaks. Hind wings wide, pale fuscous, 

 concolorous, without markings except a very faint relieving of the veins ; 

 fringes paler. Beneath obscurely shaded, with a discal dot on second- 

 aries. Head and appendages dusky olivaceous ; abdomen like 

 secondaries. 



Expanse 28 m. m. Habitat Albany (Lintner). 



Apparently a smaller form than H. hinnuli, with narrower primaries, 

 and of a peculiarly smooth concolorous dusky olivaceous tint. 



SlSYRHYPENA, n. g. 



Ocelli ; eyes naked, without lashes. Labial palpi with the second 

 joint exceeding the front by half its length ; third joint long, recurved, 

 about one-third the length of the second joint, slender, more or less 

 pointed, especially in °. ; the palpi are closely scaled. Antennae ( $ ) 

 strongly bipectinate ; the pectinations are for the most part twice the 

 length of the joints and they are furnished with long terminal spinules 

 and thickly scattered setal hairs. At basal third there is a very slight 

 tuft of scales on the inside, and here the pectinations are reduced in 

 length to the base of the antennus, where they become obsolete, while 

 they are lengthy on the outside. In the female the antennae are simple. 

 The legs are unarmed. The species is slight ; the primaries are narrow, 

 crambiform, drab-colored or brownish with a silky gloss, with incon- 

 spicuous and inelegant streaky and punctiform ornamentation. 



A low Deltoid genus, perhaps nearest allied to Tetanolita. 

 Sisyrhypena papillaris* Grote.
