"base, and a similar one opposite near the dorsal margin ; another large 

 •one just before the middle, another small one within the costal margin 

 behind the middle, and a fascia of raised golden scales before the ciliae ; 

 •a few scattered golden scales in the apical portion behind the fascia. AL 

 ex. over j^ inch. Kentucky. 



2. P. fusco-cristatdla. N. sp. 



Head and palpi sordid yellowish-gray ; antennae pale fuscous ; thorax 

 brown above, with a brown patch on each side under the base of the 

 wings ; basal three-fourths of the anterior wings sordid white, yellowish, 

 and brown scales intermixed, the apical fourth fulvous and separated by a 

 distinct line, which is convex towards the apex. An obscure cloudy spot 

 near the base of the wing ; at about the basal third are two dark brown 

 patches of raised scales, one of which is on the disc, the other within the 

 dorsal margin ; about the apical third are two similar tufts similarly 

 situated. About six small white costal streaks on the apical half of the 

 ■costa. Alar ex. ^ inch. Kentucky. 



J. P. fasciclla. N. sp. 



Grayish fuscous, overlaid with golden yellow. Anterior wings with a 

 narrow brown border along both margins ; a tuft of silver gray raised 

 scales on the disc at about the basal third, and another opposite within 

 the dorsal margin ; a row of small oblique silvery streaks along the costal 

 margin ; just before the ciliae is a narrow fascia of raised silver gray 

 scales, behind which, near the apex, are two indistinct narrow white 

 fasciae not raised, the first of which is especially indistinct. In the brown 

 dorso-apical margin are about eight small white spots. Ciliae gray. There 

 is a brown patch on each side of the thorax just underneath the base of 

 the wings ; thorax brown ; vertex brownish-red ; antennae pale fuscous ; 

 palpi and face white, the second palpal joint white without. Alar ex. y^ 

 inch. Kentucky. 



In the general color of the wings and the costal markings this species 

 seems somewhat to resemble Homosetia eostisigjiella Clem. The genus 

 also resembles Homosetia as described by Clemens, in the palpi and 

 neuration, but differs somewhat in these respects, and Homosetia has no 

 raised tufts. 



4. P. misce-cristatella. N. sp. 



Palpi whitish, the labial pair externally fuscous ; lower part of the 

 face white, upper part and vertex sordid gray ; antennae pale fuscous ;
