A. R. Grote's Notes on the Zi/gsevklse. of Cuba. 187 



brown, with narrow, whitish, distinct lines. Abdomen, sanguineous; 

 beneath, centrally, with whitish scales; genital appenadges clothed with 

 long, dark-brown hair. Legs, pale-brownish, shaded with whitish out- 

 wardly, anterior femora, whitish on their superior surface. Under 

 thoracic parts, brownish, except laterally, immediately below the inser- 

 tion of the wings, where they are covered with sanguineous scales. 



The single female specimen resembles the males in coloration, ex- 

 cept that the under abdominal surface is covered with brown scales 

 not sanguineous, and in the absence of all whitish shades in the under 

 corporal parts. The brown caudal appendages are here wanting, so 

 that the female abdomen presents a quite different appearance from that 

 i >f the male. Tn either sex the diaphanous portion of the wings pre- 

 sents, in certain lights, a faint pale-blue reflection. Exp., % 9 , 0.90 

 inch. Length of body, % , 0.45, 9 , 0.35 inch.

To my dear friend, Harry D. W. Burt, of New York City, I dedi- 

 cate this exquisite little genus. 



EUNOMIA, Htibner. 



Antennae, rather long, closely plumose iu the male ; in the female 

 the pectinations are much shorter, decreasing to the antenna! base, 

 which is simple. Terminally, the antennae in either sex are reflected 

 and pointed. Head, small, narrowed behind. Palpi, prominent, por- 

 rect, third article exceeding the front, slender, closely scaled. Protho- 

 racic pieces narrow ; tlvrax, globose, stout, shortly and finely scaled, 

 as are all the corporal ports in this geuus, being evenly dusted with 

 squammse without hirsuties. Abdomen, plump, short, and rather ob- 

 tuse in either sex; a little slenderer and more tapering in the male. 



Primaries, large and mostly vitreous, or free from scales. Costa, a 

 little depressed at about the middle; apices moderately produced; ex- 

 ternal margin roundedly oblique, slightly excavate before internal angle; 

 internal margin short. A prominent discal fold, running longitudinal- 

 ly and dividing the discal cell, beyond which it borders the first me- 

 dian nervule, joiuing the external margin at the extremity of the 4th 

 sub-costal nervure. This fold arises at a little before the middle of the 

 cell, at a point about the inception of the 4th m. nervule. Interspaces, 

 wide ; nervules, divergent. Secondaries, reduced, narrow, rounded at 

 the apices, excavate along external margin. Legs, slender and finely 

 scaled; armature, feebly developed. 



The coloration of this genus is black, with scarlet abdominal valves,
