tion that if the species belonged to the group at all it would have 

 veins 2 and 3 separate, and it was placed accordingly in Doctor Dyar's 

 list. My friend Mr. Durrant kindly corrected me in this and I have 

 since had the opportunity of examining Zeller's unique type in Lord 

 Walsingham's collection at Merton Hall, England. The species is an 

 Ayonopteryx, having veins 2 and 3 in the forewings stalked, and 

 there is nothing very remarkable about it, aside from the small tufts 

 of raised scales on the forewings. I agree with Mr. Durrant in 

 placing it next to nebulosa Zeller, which it much resembles. 



9. Genus DEPRESSARIA Haworth. 



Dcpressaria Haworth, Lep. Brit., 1812, p. 505. 



This genus has the same characters as the foregoing, from which it 

 differs only in veins 2 and 3 being separate instead of stalked in the 

 forewings. The color pattern of the forewing is normally charac- 

 teristic enough to readily indicate to which of the two genera a 

 species belongs. 



The described American species belonging to this genus are the 

 following :

lO. Genus INGA, new. 



Labial palpi long, curved; second joint thickened with smoothly 

 appressed scales, slightly roughened in front; terminal joint long, 

 slender, acute, shorter than second joint. Tongue long, spiraled. 

 Antenna 1 without pecten on basal joint, simple in both sexes. Fore- 

 wings with apex blunt, termen oblique; 12 veins; 7 and 8 stalked, 

 both to the costal edge. Hindwings as broad as the forewing; 8 

 veins: 6 and 7 parallel.; 3 and 4 connate; 5 cubital, approximate to 4. 

 Female with protruding horny and hairy ovipositor. 



Type. — Inga sparsiciliella (Clemens). 



Closely related to Agonopteryx, differing mainly in the absence of 

 pecten on basal joint of the antenna* and by the abdomen not being 

 depressed. 



Only the one species is at present recognized.
