Genus Prenes 
The insect ranges from Connecticut to Patagonia, over all 
the most habitable parts of the New World. I have taken it 
frequently in southern Indiana, where I often have collected in 
recent years. 
Genus PRENES, Scudder 
Butterfly.— The antennae are short, not half the length of the 
costa. The head is broad, and the antennae are inserted widely 
apart. The club is moderate, terminating in a fine point which is 
bent back at right angles, forming a distinct crook. The abdomen 
is long and slender, but does not project beyond the hind margin 
of the secondaries. The fore wings are pointed at the apex and 
are relatively longer and narrower than in the preceding genus. 
The neuration is illustrated in the cut.
