Tliis species has the vonatioa (no subcostal cell) of Lopliodouhi, and also a.nrces in tlie 

 antenna- anil sliape of both pairs of wings. Dr. Dyar having called my attention to the al)seiice 

 of a cell, I have reviewed the generit^ characters. 



In its color and markings it is more like jV. slniiii(l<( than a Lophodouta, and it is tiiis 

 supcrlicial resemblance to Notodonta which doubtless has led to its reference to that genus. This 

 species in general appearance, color, and markings is allied to and represents in our fauna the 

 Enrojiean L. trepid(( (trciiiiilu). Thus the genus Lojihodonta is represented in the European fauna. 

 Its larva, judging by Buckler's ligure, is like our L. angulonH in shape, but marki^d with obli(pie 

 yellow and red bars. It is to be seen whether the Eurt>pean genus I'eridea, to whicii trcpuht is 

 referred, is synonymous with the American Lophodonta.

Moth. — $ and 2 . Anteunre heavily pectinated to tip, more so than in Lo2)hodonta, Lophoptcrtix, 

 or Notodonta, and only less so than in BasylopUia (simple in 2 trimacula). 



Palpi stout, slightly longer than in Lophodonta, and extending a little fiirther beyond the 

 front. Eyes naked (both in the I'^uropean trimacula and in gcorgica), as they are in Lophodonta. 



Fore wings rather shorter and broader than in Lophodonta, less produced at the squarish 

 apex; outer edge less oblique; a large broad tuft on the inner edge. A subcostal cell present in 

 D. georijlca (but absent in the European trimucida). 



Hind -wings a little shorter and rounder at the apex than iu Notodonta or Lophoiiteryx. 



Larra. — That of the European species noctuiform, with no tubercles, and much as in that of 

 Lophodonta. 



Onr 1). ffcoryica is very nearly allied to the European _Z). trimacula in structure and in 

 markings, only differing in a remarkable and unexpected way, considering the close similarity in 

 other respects in the two species, there being in the latter no subcostal cell, the venation being 

 much as iu Lophodonta. 



lliibner founded his genus on D. crenosa, chaoiiia, qiierna, and dodonwa, not mentioning 

 trimacula [dodonwa being a synonym of it), which is closely allied with our species. Whether all 

 these species are truly congeneric I can not state, since! have only trimacula to refer to. and since 

 European authors do not seem to have critically examined the structural leatures of these species.
