THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 73 



Anterior wings lanceolate, caudate. The costa attains the margin 

 about the middle ; discal cell long, narrow, and closed by a slightly 

 oblique discal vein; the costal vein is furcate just before the apex, 

 delivering one of the branches above and one below it ; it also sends 

 another branch to the costal margin from behind the cell, one at the end 

 of the cell, and two before it ; the discal vein sends a vein to the hinder 

 margin from a point near the median, which passes straight to the hind 

 margin, and just before the discal vein sends a branch to the hind margin 

 also ; the submedian is furcate at the base. 



Posterior wings linear lanceolate. Costal vein obsolete ; the subcostal 

 proceeds straight to the apex, sending a single branch to the /«>/^ margin 

 just before the apex ; the median is slightly sigmoid, attaining the hind 

 margin at about the apical one-fourth, and delivering to it three other 

 branches, the first about the middle. Submedian short. 



Wings convoluted in repose, with tufts of raised scales on the anterior 

 ones, ajid the tips bent under. Head and face smooth, with appressed 

 scales ; vertex broader than long ; face much receding and very narrow; 

 eyes small ; antennas sub-pectinate, a little more than half as long as the 

 wings ; palpi drooping, of moderate size ; no visible maxillary palpi ; 

 tongue rather short, scaled ; terminal joint of labial palpi acute, and 

 about two-thirds as long as the second, which is a little enlarged at its 

 apex. 



It is not a typical Larinia, and yet, possibly, ought not to be separated 

 from it. But I place Stitbosis, Clem., as my precedent, 



C. purpuriella. JV. sp. 



Very dark purplish blue, almost black, with an indistinct confused 

 oblique yellowish fascia about the apical fourth. The tufts are black or 

 very dark brown ; one is placed within the dorsal margin, at about the 

 basal one-fourth, opposite the space between two others placed opposite 

 to each other, about the middle, and a fourth at about the apical fourth 

 of the wing, also opposite the space between the second and third. The 

 tufts are arranged thus : - | - Alar ex., }( inch. Kentucky. Larva

Allied to Chrysopelia, Sti/bosis, &c. 



Primaries lanceolate, tufted ; discal cell narrow and rather acutely 

 closed ; the costal vein is short and close to the margin ; the subcostal 

 gives off three branches beyond the middle, and a fourth one from the-
