GLUPHISIA. 

 GlupMsia trilineata n. sp. 



Light cinereous, primaries lighter than the thorax. Two transverse 

 darker lines, enclosing an obscure yellowish band. The first line 

 straight, second oblique, with two large teeth pointing inwards on the 

 submedian interspace, and on the 4th subcostal. A submarginal twice 

 bent line, angulated obtusely in the second median interspace, and on 

 the subapical space. Fringe dark at the base and at the ends of the 

 nervules. Secondaries nearly white, not discolored. Beneath uniform 

 light ashen. 



Length of body % .40— .45, $ .55; exp. wings % 1—1.10, $ 1.25 

 inch.

The submarginal line varies in being twice or many times undulated. 

 In the female the yellowish band is more distinctly marked than in the 

 other sex. The species will be recognized by the uniform cinereous 

 tinge, the three transverse lines on the primaries, the yellowish band 

 limited within by the straight line, without by the oblique waved line; 

 and the plain outer half of the wing, interrupted near the margin by 

 the rather obscure twice waved darker line, and the plain hind wings. 

 It might easily be mistaken for a species of Cymatophora. 



HYPAEPAX Iliibner. 

 Front of the head densely pilose between the antennas, which in the 

 female are subsimple, joints beneath being setiferous. Palpi porrect, 

 slender, second joint a little pilose beneath, third joint slender acute. 

 Primaries two-thirds as broad as long, being broadly subtriangular. 

 Costa at base a little full, straight; apex pointed; outer margin equal 

 in length to the inner margin. The secondaries reach nearly to the tip, 

 outer margin not rounded. Legs pilose. Two long apical spurs on the 

 posterior tibit^. Tip of the abdomen pointed, not tufted.
