HadeiiJi turbnlenta. 



PhospMla turbulenta, Hiibuer, Zutr. S. 15, figs. 67, 08. 

 Ampliipyra? turbulenta, Walker. 



Ocelli. Eyes naked, Avitli lashes. Antennae ( 2 ) simple, sparsely and finely 

 pubescent. Thorax tufted on the disc behind the collar. Abdomen with 

 slight dorsal tufts. Tibiae unarmed. Slender-bodied; squamation pulveru- 

 lent on the Aviugs, hairy on the legs and thorax. Bright brown ; fore wings 

 widening at outer third, paler outside of the t. p. line. Median lines approxi- 

 mate inferiorly; t. p. line superiorly outwardly projected, double, the inner 

 line most distinct, lunulatedentate. Costal region between t. p. and subter- 

 minal line dark brown, relieving the pale costal dots. Subterminal line faint ; 

 on the subterminal space the veins are darker marked. Two prominent dark 

 brown parallel streaks, fused by a dark shade, rest on the submedian inter- 

 space above internal angle. Hind wings pale brown, with an even, outwardly 

 pale shaded, transverse line opposite the t. p. line of primaries ; a faint discal 

 streak and diffuse darker terminal shade. Fringes on primaries dark, cut 

 with pale at the extremity of the nervules ; on secondaries pale reddish with 

 a dusky outer shade. Beneath duller hued, with discal dots and common line. 

 Noticeable from the inward position of the t. p. line of primaries and trans- 

 verse line of the hind wings. 



Expanse, 28 m. m. Albany (Lintner); Georgia (Hiibner). A 

 species not noticed by CJuenee, and referred without any apparent 

 reason to Ampbipyra, Ijy AYalker. Ti-om Hiibner's figures. 



lloiuolijidena, n. g. 



Ocelli. Eyes naked, with feeble (V) lashes. Tibiae unarmed. Thorax with 

 smooth iim-Ievated discolorous collar, the disc untufted. Abdomen without 

 tufts, a litiLj tiattened ( 5 ). JNIaxillae moderate. No frontal protuberance. 

 Size moderate. Differs from Hadena by the untufted thorax and abdomen. 

 Ornamentation peculiar ; ordinary spots and subterminal line obsolete ; me- 

 dian lines even, flexous, approximate ; t. p. line strongly arcuatedly projected 

 opposite the cell ; a brown dash from base to t. a. line, below submedian vein, 

 continued more faintly across the median space to an opposite notch on the 

 t. p. line ; a second large dash on the cell continued beyond the t. p. line. 

 Brown ; liind wings whitish in ,*, ; fuscous in ? .
