a little uplifted; vestiture scaly with an admixture of flattened hair, forming, pos- 

 teriorly, a large mass, which is scarcely a definite tuft. Legs short, middle and 

 hind pairs sub-equal in length; tibise unarmed, not spinulate, in the male clothed 

 with a mass of rough scales and hair. Abdomen stout, well exceeding the second- 

 aries; in the female, stout, sub-equal and sub-cylindrical, obtusely terminated, 

 with a prominent little tuft on the third dorsal segment. Primaries trigonate, 

 rather broad; apex well marked; outer margin arquate, oblique; hind angle rounded; 

 venation normal; accessory cell present, giving rise to 7, 8 -I- 9 and 10 from its end. 

 Secondaries proportionate, with vein 5 obsolescent. 



Viridemas galena nov. sp. 



Ground-color ashen gray, powdery. Front with an admixture of brown scales. 

 Collar with an obscure median line and an admixture of bluish-green scales. Patagia 

 with disk clothed with green scales, and with a blackish sub-marginal line. Pos- 

 terior scale-mass bronze-brown. Abdomen dark gray, the posterior margins nar- 

 rowly light gray. Primaries with all the usual maculation traceable, but obscured 

 by the powdering of dark scales. Basal space green-powdered, and on this the 

 short, single, black basal line is fairly defined. T.a. line black, single, upright, a 

 little irregular. T.p. line single, black, slender, discontinuous, a little lunulate, 

 well exserted over the cell and almost as much incurved below, followed in the 

 sub-median interspace by a conspicuous greenish- white blotch, which is the most 

 obvious feature in the maculation. There is a broken, black median line, which 

 extends along the inner margin of the reniform, and below it to the margin. S.t. 

 line whitish, diffuse, powdery, discontinuous, partly defined inwardly by black 

 scales, which give the line a jagged appearance. A series of black terminal lunules 

 is followed by a pale line at base of fringes. Claviform a broad, black-ringed loop, 

 extending about one-third across the cell and as broad as long. Orbicular large, 

 round, gray, ringed by black scales, a little darker centered. Reniform large, gray, 

 not defined above or below. Secondaries gray, with a dark, lunate terminal line. 

 Beneath, gray, powdery, with a broad, diffuse exterior line and a lunate diseal spot, 

 which tends to become obscure on the primaries.

Two males and one female, in fair condition. The males are purchased 

 specimens from my oAvn collection, the female is from the collection of the 

 Brooklyn Institute. A perfect, fresh specimen will show undoubtedly a 

 considerably greater admixture of green, and, on the other hand, in old 

 specimens the green tends to become dull and to mingle with the gray base 

 so as to become inconspicuous except under a lens. 



Meleneta nov. gen. 



Eyes hairy, without overhanging lashes. Head moderate or rather small, 

 applied very closely to the thorax; front very flat, quadrate, clothed with short.
