22 AUG. R. GROTE. 



clypeus hid by the long second palpal joint, even fringes, dark colors 

 and appearing allied to Toxicampa. 



3. Eutorcnina tenuis, m.— % 9 .—Brownish ashen; head palpi and 

 collar blackish, discolorous with the paler thorax and abdomen. Forewings 

 more or less clouded, or deeper colored superiorly, especially towards apices 

 within apical streak. All the veins narrowly and neatly picked out by ochrey 

 scales. Lines fine, ochrey with darker edges. T. a. line nearly straight. T.p. 

 line even, acutely angled on vein 6, at which point it is joined by a distinct 

 even oblique apical streak similarly colored. Below it runs evenly obliquely 

 to internal margin nearly continuously with the apical streak. This latter 

 with the upper part of the t. p. line above vein 6 form the two limbs of a Y. 

 Reniform large, narrowly annulate with ochrey scales. Median shade dark, 

 diffuse. Subterminal line fine, dentate, pale, issueing from above the 

 middle of apical streak; terminal space pale with pale terminal line. The 

 evenness and tenuity of the lines is noticeable. Secondaries a little darker than 

 primaries; an oblique median line, similar to t. p. line, most obvious towards 

 anal angle; a faintly marked subterminal line. Beneath, without markings; 

 neuration perceivable from the folds in the wings. Expanse 28 to 30 mm. 



Habitat. — Central Alabama; July, August. Of frequent occurrence. 

 jflATIGRAUOIA, m. 



Palpi moderate, porrect ; head rather square in front ; clypeus round- 

 edly swollen, scaled ; epicranium somewhat raised longitudinally. 

 Maxillae moderate. Antennae simple, minutely ciliate in % . Abdo- 

 men linear; with the thorax not tufted or crested, smoothly scaled. 

 Win^s full, entire, rounded, with corresponding ornamentation. Fore 

 wings with vein 2 a little nearer 3 than usual ; 3, 4, 5 equidistant at 

 base, divaricate; 6 opposite 5, from the point of divarication of 9 

 which crosses 7, thus closing and forming a very small accessory cell. 

 Vein 8 to apex ; 9 to costa ; 10 from accessory cell ; 9, 10, 11 approx- 

 imate. Kind wings 9-veined ; 3 and 4 from one point; 5 a little re- 

 moved, equally strong; cell open as on primaries. A species of moder- 

 ate size, with pulverulent, obscure, geometriform ornamentation or 

 rather perhaps that of Mania. With a faint resemblance to some of 

 the genera allied to Homoptera, this species seems rather related to 

 Kuclidia. 



4. IMati gramma pulverilinea, in.— % 9 .—Olivaceous blackish with 

 powdered pale or greyish scales. Basal half-line and t. a. line faint, atomical, 

 irregular waved, blackish, edged with pale scales. Median shade blackish, con- 

 tinued, irregular. Reniform difficult to perceive, of the ground color of the wing, 

 with an encircling ring of loosely massed pale scales, erect, constricted medially. 

 T. p. line and sub-terminal more evident and similar. The first is moderately 

 and widely rounded superiorly, slightly interspaceally lunate, powdery grey 

 with blackish bordering lines. Sub-terminal sub-parallel with the t. p. line, 

 continued, distinct, similar in appearance with the t. p. line but without evident
