AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 247 



vein 3 from before eud of cell ; 6 from l)efore upper angle of cell ; 

 7, 8 and 9 stalked ; 10 from cell. Secondaries broad, produced at 

 vein 3 ; costal margin somewhat convex ; outer margin straight to 

 3, there rounded, and then straight again to anal angle ; on vein 2 

 a swollen glandular spot in the $ ; veins i and 4 apart ; vein '5 

 present, and from near 4 in the $ only; vein 6 and 7 from upper 

 angle of cell. 



The peculiar neuration of the secondaries in the S will readily 

 distinguish this genus, which is quite Boarmid in appearance, and 

 typically so in the 9 . 



Pherotesia inalinaria.— In general appearance very close to T. conden- 

 saria Gn., but altogether darker, in color, and the male can be distinguished by 

 the almost black secondaries and their quadrate shape. % primaries: dark 

 brown, irrorated with black scales and striaj ; the lines black; basal and inner 

 lines geminate; a straight median black shade, followed by black discal sjmt; the 

 outer line lunular, followed by black spots above vein 4; subterminal black spots 

 outwardly shaded with pale huff; a terminal black line much thickened between 

 the veiiis. Secondaries dark brown, shaded with reddish brown, mottled with 

 black in inner margin and anal portion of outer margin; a dark median line; 

 a black terminal line. Underneath mottled buff and black ; discal points black. 



The 9 is very variable and similar to condensaria Gn. 



Hah. — Jalapa, Mexico. 



Bormia condensaria Gn. also has vein 5 present on secondaries; 

 it usually is stalked with 4, though sometimes they are from a point ; 

 there is no glandular swelling on vein 2. 



Boarmia gitanaria. — Body greyish brown : geminate black dorsal spots 

 at base of and on last segment of abdomen. Primaries pale rufous brown, thinly 

 irrorated with darker brown scales, and striated with black on costa ; inner line 

 fine, black, from one-fourth on costa to near base of inner margin ; an oval black 

 discal spot; outer line heavy, black, angled above vein 5, then inwardly oblique 

 to middle of inner margin, and forming from below discal spot to inner margin a 

 very broad black band ; a black punctiform line from costa to vein 5, beyond the 

 outer line; a subterminal white dentate line, inwardly shaded with black be- 

 tween 4 and 6, and outwardly shaded with grey between 4and 7; a faint sub- 

 terminal line; fringe pale rufous, somewhat mottled with black and tipped with 

 white. Secondaries whitish to outer line, then pale rnfous brown ; a dark line at 

 base; a broad black median band not reaching costa, and followed by a black dis- 

 cal streak; outer line fine, black, punctiform; a subterminal dentate white line, 

 preceded by a greyish shade ; terminal line and fringe as on primaries. Under- 

 neath creamy white, including fringe. Primaries: the costa striated with black ; 

 a black discal spot; a large stibapical black spot below vein 8 and reaching mar- 

 gin between 4 and 7. Expanse 45 mm. 



Hab. — Sao Paulo.
