AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 291 



hind wings 8 veined, 8 and 4 close toirether, at the middle of eell, 

 6 and 7 stemmed, 8 anastomosing with cell to beyond middle; hind 

 legs with two pairs of" spurs. 



I have a specimen of P. phocata sent me by iNIr. Moeschler, and 

 therefore typical, and I can see no difference between it and J\ 

 sabinii Curt., of which I saw the type in the British Museum. 

 Sj)ecies. — P. sabinii Curt, (phocata Moesch.) 



40. TRI€IIOCIIL.A!IIYS n. pen. 

 Typi' pulatit Uiib. 



l*al[)i moderate, porrect, long haired; tongue developed; front 

 rough with projecting hairs ; antenuje flattened, even, finely ciliate, 

 or nearly naked in % , filiform ciliute in 9 ; thorax loosely rough 

 hairy scaled or hairy. Abdomen rough scaled ; hind tibiae with all 

 spurs; fore wings 12 veins, two accessory cells ; hind wings 8 veins, 

 8 with cell to beyond middle. 



Mr. Meyrick catalogues polata under Dasi/tirls Guen., which it 

 closely ap{)roaches But Dasyuris has the antennae of % dentate, 

 which polata has not. I therefore propose the above as a designa- 

 tion of the genus.
