the. middle; antennae much shorter than wings, basal joint much longer than 

 head ; fore wings long, slender, acute at tip, hind pair a little shorter, scarcely 

 narrower, no anal area, long fringed toward the base; discal cell of fore wings 

 slender, slightly shorter than its pedicel, and much shorter than apical cells, first 

 apical cell on discal cell more than one-half as far as fifth apical on thyridial 

 cell, third apical broader at base than the second or fourth, veinlet at base of 

 subapicals very oblique, in hind wings the discal cell is plainly shorter than its 

 pedicel, and scarcely one-half the length of the apical cells, second subapical 

 pedicellate. Expanse 17 mm. 



Gazelle, California, September (Morse). 



Morinoiiia |>ictilis n. sp. — Head brown, with some black hairs on front 

 and long yellow hair above; palpi pale, with yellowish pubescence; antennae 

 black, faintly annulate with pale, basal joint black haired; thorax dark, with 

 yellow and black hair ; abdomen brown, the ventral segments margined with 

 pale; legs pale yellowish, with yellowish spines; wings gray, with yellowish and 

 black hairs and a gray and black fringe, a dark cloud over anastomosis, hind 

 border narrowly dark to the anal angle, where there is a whitish spot, apical 

 margin with elongate whitish spots between the veins, darker on veins, hind 

 wings uniform gray, with gray fringe. Antennae short, fine, basal joint about as 

 long as head, spurs 2-4-4, subapical pair on hind leg much beyond the middle; 

 wings moderately long, apex rounded, hind pair but slightly shorter, discal cell in 

 both pairs closed, in fore pair indistinctly, the cell (in both pairs) elongate, but 

 much shorter than its pedicel. Expanse 15 mm. 



Francoiiia, New Hampshire (Mrs. A. T. Slosson). 



Differs from both described species (if. togata and AT. vernalu) by 

 darker aiiteniue, and more maculate wings, and fi-om the former by 

 shorter basal joint of antennae. 



Ouera calcarala. n. sp.— Head yellowish, with yellowish hair, some black 

 hair below eyes; palpi and antennaj pale yellowish; legs pale yellowish, the 

 spines reddish brown, distinctly contrasting with the pale tibiae; thorax and 

 abdomen dark, former with pale yellowish hairs; wings hyaline, veins yellowish, 

 with black hairs, shorter yellowish hairs on surface of the wings. Head broad ; 

 basal joints of antennae longer than head, widely separated at base, between 

 them and rather a))ove is a double wart, and two large, broad, low warts on ver- 

 tex near each eye, fore wings moderately long, rather pointed, hind pair much 

 shorter, not broader than fore pair, and with a long fringe towards base, discal 

 cell of fore wings short, indistinctly closed, fifth apical cell pedicellate, veinlet 

 at base of subapicals very oblique, area interclavialis enlarged at tip (as in the 

 European species), in hind wings the dis(^al cell is open, not even constricted, 

 fifth apical cell pedicellate. Expanse 20. mm. 



Sea Cliff, New York, July. 



BfEROPHILlJS n. gen. 

 Spurs 2-4-4; maxillary palpi rather long, second and third 

 joints of 9 very stout, rest shorter and more slender; basal joints 

 of antennae much longer than broad; wings rather broad, hind pair
