(i) Eutelia pulcherrima Grote. 
Syn. dentifera Walker. 
The only species of this genus known to occur within ou\ 
territory is that which is figured in the accompanying cut, which 
Fig. 150. —Eutelia pulcherrima , g . f. 
was made from the type now in the possession of the British 
Museum. The insect is found in New York and New Jersey, 
but probably has a wider southern range. It is as yet very rare 
in collections. 
Genus MARASMALUS Grote 
(1) Marasmalus inficita Walker, Plate XXIX, Fig. 6, $. 
Syn. histrio Grote. 
This species is found from the northern Atlantic States and 
Canada southward and westward to Texas and Colorado. 
(2) Marasmalus ventilator Grote, Plate XXIX, Fig. 5, $ . 
This species, which is considerably larger than the preceding, 
has the wings more or less marked by reddish scales, which 
enables it to be easily discriminated from its congener. Its range 
is practically the same. 
Genus AMYNA Guenee 
(1) Amyna octo Guenee, Plate XXIX, Fig. 7, $. 
This little moth has suffered more than any other known to 
the writer by being made the sport of the makers of synonyms. 
No less than nineteen synonyms have been applied to it in addi¬ 
tion to its true name. In Dyar’s Catalogue it appears under the 
name orbica Morrison, and tecta Grote is given as a synonym. 
The student who wishes to know what some of the other names 
are which have been given to it may consult Hampson’s “Moths 
of India,” Vol. II, p. 251. It is found throughout the hot lands of 
both hemispheres.
