NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOFTERA. 1 U> 



This insect is verv close to the preceding, and botli being some- 

 what variable in ornamentation, are likely only forms of one species.

This insect, catalogued under Rhodoplicea Guen. by Mr. Ragonot, 

 is correctly placed as above. It corresponds in venation exactly 

 with the typical Myelois, as well as in other structural characters.

Ann. Soe. Ento. France, 1845, p. 312 (Index Meth. p. 74), Rag., Ento. Mon. Mag- 

 xxii, 19, 1885). 



Labial palpi erect, recurved, rather short; maxillary pal]>i small; tongue 

 strong; ocelli distinct; antennse simple, pubescent; legs short, stout. Venation 

 fore wings, H veins, 4 and 5 .separate, 10 separate; hind wings 8 veins, 2 distant 

 from angle ; 3, 4 and 5 separate. 



Here, as often elsewhere, the relative position of 7 and 8 is not 

 spoken of, as I have found them tf) be entirely variable in the same 

 species.
