AMERICAN LKPIDOI'TKRA. 383 



flattened, nearly naked, .somewhat lamellate, of 9 simple, filiform ; 

 thorax rather loni;' hairy above and below, tufted anteriorly; abdo- 

 men scaled, slightly tufted at end ; hind tibise of % swollen, with 

 hair ])encil, with all s[)urs ; fore wings without fovea below, 12 veins? 

 10 on 11 stemmed from cell; hind wings 5 undeveloped, 6 and 7 

 separate, 8 separate from cell. 



I can see no valid reason why Sabalodes, Anteplone and I'rochm- 

 rode.i should not be regarded as one genus. Sabulodes and Antepione 

 have the antennaj of the % more flattened and naked, but the an- 

 tennae of Proehaerodes are flattened and but shortly ciliate. The 

 tendency to the lamellate form of segments is present in all the sj)e- 

 cies though more marked in the Sabulodes group. Tiiere is some 

 variation in wing shape, but the variation is one of not very wide 

 degree, not of kind. The angulation (/f the hind wings is not dis- 

 tinctive, as the varieties of S. tniusvarscda cover both forms. The 

 angulation of the fore wings differs, as does the amount of falcation 

 beneath apex, but this also differs in the single species !js well as in 

 the sexes of some of the species. I think when a close examination is 

 made it will be agreed the differences, so far as knowledge at present 

 goes, are more apparent than real. Oxydia is very close, and scai'cely 

 to be separated. Polltia Cram, is put by Mr. Butler under the 

 genus NepJieloleuca, but I have not been able to find the description.

 tongue developed ; front hair tufted ; antennie of S shortly bipec- 

 tinate, the pectinations scarcely more than dentations, with a fascicle 

 of hairs at the summit of each ; thorax densely hairy above, densely 

 woolly below ; abdomen smooth; femora somewhat hairy, hind tibiie
