margin is almost blackish-brown, while in pulche.Uana it is ferruginous- 

 brown, and the white portion of the fore wing of Spirese/ofidjia is more 

 conspicuous than in pulchpUana. The ornamentation of the exterior 

 portion of the fore wings is much the same in both, except that the 

 abbreviated central fascia is well marked iu Si>iri'8e,foJiaiia and the 

 ocelloid patch has two or three short blackish-brown striae. 



Ancliylopera fuscociliana n. s. — Fore wings ferruginous-brown, wliite .along 

 thecosta at the base. The semi-oval dorsal patch at the base of the wing is dark 

 brown, and is but indistinctly separated from the ferruginous portion of the 

 wing, which is the external half. The apical half of the costa, from the middle 

 to the tip of the wing, is occupied by a dark ferruginous, semi-oval patch, ex- 

 cavated near the tip by the ocelloid patch, which is rather indistinct and of an 

 ochreous hue. The costal striae near the tip are white, short and separated by 

 dull leaden hued streaks, the most interior of which is extended very obliquely 

 nearly to the hinder margin, beneath the tip. and just beneath it are two black- 

 ish strife. Cilia reddish-brown. Hind wings dark-brown, cilia wliitish.

collected in Virginia. 



Anchylopera dubiana n. s. — Fore wings white with ochreous-brown mark- 

 ings. The dorsal semi-oval patcli is ochreous-brown and is not so abruptly 

 curved on its exterior margin as in Spireccfo/iana and pulchel/ana. The central 

 fascia is ochreous-brown and distinct, and the costa exterior to it is striated 

 alternately with white and ochreous-brown. This portion of the wing beneath 

 the central fascia and the costal striae are tinted with ochreous. and has two 

 dark brown striae. Hind wings pale fuscous. 



This specimen is very like Sj)irese/oli(iiia except in the hue of the 

 semi-oval patch and the curvature of its outline. I very much doubt 

 its distinctness specifically, and have so described it only after much 

 hesitation. 



A single specimen. From the collection of the Entomological Soci- 

 ety of Philadelphia, collected in Virginia. 



Anchylopera Virginiana n. s. — Fore wings gray, tinted with brownish, and 

 marked with deep brown. The basal portion of the wing is dusted and striated 

 with brown. The half of the costa from the middle to the tip contains a large 

 dark patch, which extends to the fold of the wing in an obtuse point and is 

 deeply excavated by the ocelloid patch ; this is of the general hue and contains 

 a transverse, slender, wavy line. Hind wings fuscous. Labial palpi, head and 

 tliorax fuscous. 



In ornamentation this species is very like A. cosfonKtcuhoid. but the 

 liencral hue in the latter is white, tinted with ochreous.
