THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 29 



Fringes concolorous. The markings must be studied under a microscope 

 to see them clearly. Hind wings pale at base, with a diffuse external 

 ochre-brown patch cut by a narrow white line. A series of terminal dark 

 points and a dark line on the ochrey fringes, both discontinued superiorly. 

 Beneath paler, glistening, shaded with ochre-brown outwardly and with 

 the exterior marked in a darker shade on primaries. Body and legs pale. 



Expanse 10 mil. Amherst, Mass., Mr. L. W. Goodell, No. 708. 



Homophysa eripalis, n. s. 



^. Size and color "of reniculalis of Zeller, of which I have a speci- 

 men from Texas (Belfrage, No. 396, Oct. 16), but differing by the want 

 of discal maculations on primaries. The fine white relieved lines more 

 distinctly marked on costa of fore wings. Head and appendages ochrey 

 and whitish ; thorax ochreous. Fore wings entirely fuscous, with a very 

 fine inner slightly waved line, and the outer line very near the margin, 

 arcuate above, running in submedially and very slightly angulated on 

 internal vein. The concolorous fringes are white tipped. In a second 

 specimen from Alabama the base of the wing is slightly ochre-shaded. 

 Abdomen above fuscous, finely white ringed. Hind wings concolorous, 

 more fuscous exteriorly and inferiorly, where they show the white mesial 

 line relieved by dark scales more distinctly. Beneath the common white 

 relieved exterior line is continuous.

This smaller of the two species which I refer to this genus is yellow 

 ochre in color ; the median lines blackish, disconnected, the outer line 

 with an inferior sinus and situate well towards the outer margin of the 

 wing. Median space washed with gray, which spreads over the terminal
