1864.] 345 



Hind wings reach to the tip of the abdomen, suborbicular. Costa 

 short; apex continuously rounded with the very short internal margin. 

 Legs stout; hind tibiae very broadly scaled, spurs small, concealed by 

 the long scales of the joint. 



This genus connects those Cochlidiae with partially pectinated an- 

 tennfe, such as Euclea and Empretia; with the succeeding Tortriciform 

 genera which have simple antennae and shorter secondaries. 



Cyclopteryx leucosigma n. sp. 



S . This fine species is of a rich cinnamon brown. The fore wings 

 of a rich bright cinnamon color, with two linear short silvery lines; one 

 is curved regularly inwards in the middle of the inner edge of the wing, 

 and encloses a patch of brown of a lighter hue than the rest of the 

 wing. The other is a costo-apical sigmoid line which begins on the 

 costa just before the apex, and it presents the largest curve on its lower 

 portion nearly opposite the excavation of the outer edge of the wing, 

 it then curves around so as to merge imperceptibly to the straight dark 

 discal linear spot which lies parallel to the costa. From the inner end 

 of the lower transverse silvery line is a line of four or five dark spots 

 which curves rapidly around parallel to the outer edge of the wing and 

 terminates at the inner end of the silvery costo-apical line, thus con- 

 necting the two. 



Secondaries of a duller brown, fringe of the inner angle slightly 

 touched with dark brown. Beneath of a uniform pale brown. 



Length of body, .oO ; exp. wings, .68 inch. 



New York, (A. R. Grote.) 



This pretty species may be easily recognized by the sigmoid silvery 

 costal line being connected with the lower silvery line by a much curved 

 row of four or five spots.
