Primai-ies a little more than one-half as broad as long, being short, 

 broad and oblong. Costa straight, apex obtusely rectangular. Outer 

 margin straight, suddenly bending around near the inner angle. Costal 

 nervure lorn;-, terminating near the 1st and 2nd s. c. Origin of 4th 

 very remote from 5th, arising near the outer margin. First three me- 

 dian nervules arise much beyond the middle of the wing ; the 3rd 

 being close to the 1st and 2nd. 



Secondaries reach farther towards the tip of the abdomen than usual. 

 Costa long and straight; apex rounded, a little produced; outer edge 

 long, convex, not bent in the middle. The three m. nervules arise 

 very near together, slightly angulated at their origins. 



Legs somewhat slender, long, pilose. Body beneath very pilose. 



Coloration uniform tawny, with no markings except discal dots and 

 two transverse bands of black dots. 



In form this genus closely resembles Lederer's genus Ocnogijna in 

 the much produced prominent head, owing to the length of the frontal 

 hairs ; in the deeply pectinated large stout antennae ; the short broad 

 wings and very stout wooly body and short abdomen. The costa of 

 the primaries is remarkably straight ; the outer edge straight, making 

 the apex rectangular, but they differ from the above mentioned genus. 

 The peculiar coloration is abnormal in this family. It was this, besides 

 the stout wooly body and short broadly pectinated antennae, that most 

 probably led Hiibner to place it near CUslocampa in his " Verzeichniss." 



Antarctia punctata n. si). 



Tawny brown. Pectinations of the antennae and tips of the palpi 

 darker. Two black dots near the base of the primaries ; one costal, 

 the other median. Two outer curved lines of black dots. Discal dot 

 largest and most distinct beneath. Secondaries with discal dot ; an 

 interrupted submarginal row of dots consisting of two near the inter- 

 nal angle, one below the apex, the other situated upon it. Fore femora 

 tinged with vermillion beneath. Another specimen has all the dots 

 nearly obsolete. 



Two males loaned me by Mr. Edwards vary as much as Ht/phantria 

 cunea in the obsolescence of the three rows of spots, since in one speci- 

 men they are nearly absent, while in another specimen they are all 

 present. Both differ from the subjects of the above description in 

 having entirely dark secondaries, while one has a still darker almost
