Geu. PLATYPTERIX Lasp. 

 Autenuae bi-pectiuate iu the male simjile or nearly so in the female. 

 Palpi short. Body slender; abdomen shorter than the inferior wings. 

 Wings broad, falcate, convex along the costa, undulating along the exter- 

 ior border J third inferior vein not further from the fourth than from the 

 second. Legs slender and bare.

fig.2,S). 

 I have seen only the male of this species which is apparently rare. It 

 is readily distinguishable from the following by the ground color and dis- 

 position of the bands on the superior wings. 



genicula Grrote, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila. 1862, p. 59 (see Plate 



3,fig. 3,S). 

 I have seen the female of this species in the collection of Mr, Edward 

 L. Graef, Brooklyn, L. I., and it difi'ers, to the best of my recollection, by 

 merely the usual sexual differences.

Gen. PANOPODA Gn. 

 P. Cressonii nov. sp. (See Plate -3. fig. 4.) 



Superior wings reddish-grey with two transverse red bands bordered by 

 a yellow line. Median shade brown crossing the lower end of the reni- 

 form spot which it tinges red. Reniform spot yellow clearly defined on 

 the side nearest the base of the wing by a dark line, orbicular spot black 

 reduced to a small dot. Terminal space with a row of whitish spots mar- 

 gined with black, two near the centre surrounded by a brownish shade. 

 Costa lieht, collar and head dark, red. Inferior win2;s same color as su- 

 perior lighter towards the base and upper margin with a band running 

 from the anal angle about two-thirds across the wing of the same colors as, 

 and apparently a continuation of, the outer band on the superior wings. 

 Under surface of the wings grey powdered with red showing plainly a 

 band and discal spots on both superior and inferior pair. 

 A male. Ilab. Maryland. (Coll. Entom. Soc. Phila.) 



Differs from P. rubricosta Gn., by the color and shape of the reniform 

 mark, and from P. rufimarr/o Hiibn,, by the strongly marked median 

 shade band on the anterior wings.
