Remarks. — The habit of feeding on a large assortment of food 

 plants is unusual for species of this family, and I know no other in 

 North America that is such a general feeder. 



8. HIMMACIA, new genus 



Plate 4, Figuees 31, 32 ; Plate 9, Figures 64, 64a ; Plate 18, Figuke 110 



Genotype. — Cryptolechia Tiuachucella Busck, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 

 vol. 35, p. 195, 1908. 



Labial palpus long, slender, recurved; terminal segment shorter 

 than second, acute ; second segment slightly roughened beneath. An- 

 tenna strongly ciliated in male, simple in female ; basal segment with- 

 out pecten. Tongue well developed. 



Fore wing with cost a slightly arched, termen slightly oblique, 

 straight ; 12 veins ; 2 rather distant from 3 ; 4 and 5 closely approxi- 

 mate ; 7 and 8 stalked ; 7 to apex ; 11 from before middle. 



Hind wing as broad as fore wing, apex rather pointed, termen 

 oblique, slightly convex; 8 veins; 3 and 4 connate; 6 and 7 subpar- 

 allel; discocellulars strongly outwardly oblique between 4 and 6; 

 inwardly oblique between 6 and 7. 



Male genitalia. — Harpe with clasper. Gnathos broad, spined. Socii 

 absent. Vesica armed. Uncus present. 



Female genitalia. — Signum present. Ostium large. 



Remarks. — This genus appears to be closely allied to Machimia, 

 PsilocoTsis, and Inga. It may be distinguished from all these genera 

 by the direction of the discocellulars of the hind wing. The male 

 genitalia differ from those of MacJiimia in lacking the lateral proc- 

 esses of the anellus, from Inga in having a spined gnathos, and from 

 Psilocorsis in possessing a clasper. The female genitalia differ from 

 those of Machimia and Inga in possessing a signum ; from Psilocorsis 

 in having a single bursa. The only species I have seen that is refer- 

 able to this genus is the genotype.
