(17.) Zosteropoda Iiirtlpes, Orote. 



$ . — Yellow. Fore wings orange yellow witli the two median lines of a 

 deeper tint and distinct, both outwardly projected on the cell and thence 

 returning obliquely to internal margin, subparallel. Eeniform indicated by a 

 dot. Hind wings yellowish white, with the longer fringings to the veins 

 bright testaceous. Body concolorous ; tibial tufts dusky. The ornamentation 

 is simple ; fringes concolorous and both wings show a very narrow terminal 

 indistinct dark hair line. Beneath yellow with faint discal points and com- 

 mon line. The head and thorax are brighter tinged wdth the fore wings. 



Expafise, 28 m. ni. Habitat, California (Ily. Edwards, No. 3484). 



(18.) Paclinobia cornuta, Grote. 



$, . — Eyes naked ; middle and hind tibiae spinose. Short bodied and plump 

 with rather long,* shortly pectinate and bristled antennae. Red on vinous 

 brown. Vertex and the broad collar discolorous, pale or buff, the latter with 

 fine lines. Head tufted between the antennae. Thorax dark red brown. Pri- 

 maries red brown, shaded with pale scales along costal region. Ordinary spots 

 pale, narrow, elongate, fused, the orbicular nearly parallel with costa, the 

 reniform upright, with fine brown internal ring. Ordinary lines pale between 

 incomplete dark lines ; the t. a. line notably waved below median vein ; the t. 

 p. line obsoletely lunulate, appearing nearly even, roundedly exserted beyond 

 the cell. Subterminal line preceded by blackish detached marks. Median 

 space deeper colored on the cell. Fringes paler brown with a faint interior 

 whitish line. Hind wings brownish fuscous, with paler yellow brown fringes. 

 Beneath more reddish, irrorate, with distinct black discal mark on hind wings 

 and common dark line. Feet dotted with pale scales.

Allied to Calymnia and Enargia (Cosmia Led}) and apparently very near the 

 latter, but differing by the simple and merely pubescent male antennae, the 

 wider primaries, and by the more sunken head. Whether the $ oviduct ia 

 exserted or not cannot be now ascertained in the absence of specimens of that 

 sex. The eyes are naked. The thorax square and woolly, without tufts ; the 

 head is depressed and hardly visible from above. The abdomen seems to be 

 as in Calymnia and shorter than in Enargia, with longer lateral hair. The 

 size is larger than Cosmia, but inferior to Enargia {palleacea) and the ornamen- 

 tation differs by the obliquity and projection of the t. p. line, which alone is 

 evident. The species reminds us of Choephora.
