 continued to apex ; all white and hyaline spots and lines very narrowly edged 

 with dark brown ; hind wings hyaline to fuscous, inner edging of outer white 

 cross line somewhat ochre-clouded anally ; cross line edged on both sides with 

 fuscous ; outer space ochreous, clouded with fuscous near the margin : just within 

 the margin light ochre; marginal line black, very fine; fringes all orange at 

 base, whitish outwardly ; beneath, fuscous ; hyaline spots as above ; white, obso- 

 lete, except a costal apical spot, marking end of outer line on fore wings.

EUDIOPTIS Hiibn. 



EudioptJ!!* oratalis sp. nov. — Expands 32 mm. Palpi fuscous ochreous; 

 head ochreous, the front below with a bunch of hairs with enlarged mass on end ; 

 thorax and all wings rich golden yellow, rather thinly scaled. Abdomen yellow 

 fuscous ; fore wings crossed by two fine fuscous lines ; the l)asal nearly straight, 

 the outer much after the Botis pattern ; a dark brown discal spot with scales 

 somewhat raised ; fringe fuscous at base, lighter outwardly ; hind wings with 

 one line ; extra median continued from that of fore wings ; a faint fuscous sub- 

 terminal line ; fringe as on fore wings ; beneath, light fuscous yellow, iridescent, 

 the markings of the upper side faintly reflected. 



One % , Louisiana. 



DES.IIIA Westw. 



Destnia coiifusalis sp. nov. — Expands 28 mm. Head and body gener- 

 ally dirty fuscous ; antennge with a very prominent nodule on the inner side, 

 about one-third distance out, convex ou outer side, hollowed out on inner, with 

 no vestiture ; collar a distinct ruff, rising to an edge ; wings dirty fuscous, some- 

 what vitreous ; fore wings with a darker cloud on the outer third towards mid- 

 dle, and at anal angle ; a basal and outer black line, both irregular and much 

 dentated ; a marginal line of triangular black spots ; oi-bicular annulate, as also 

 reuiform ; a small black spot at middle of basal field, and another at middle of 

 inner margin ; hind wings with dark marginal band ; faint indications of outer 

 line; the rest semi-hyaline fuscous ; beneath, shining light fuscous, lines faint. 

 Legs fuscous ; fore and middle tibife very short, very heavily edged with hairs 

 inwardly. 



One % , Indian River, Florida. To me a very remarkable insect. 

 Its coloration is rather aberrant for this group ; it is certainly not a 

 Desmia, though nearer that than any other American genus ; its 

 antennae would place it close to Pyenarmon Led. ; its legs might make 

 it congeneric with Antigastra Led. If I had arrived at the point of 

 genus making, this with several others would give a fair field for 

 effort.
