100 AUG. R. GROTE. 



slightly projected beyond the cell. Subterminal line pale, preceded by an 

 evident blackish coincident shade. A neat terminal series of interspaceal 

 black marks. Secondaries blackish fuscous; the t. p. line continued, distinctly 

 relieved by a pale shade inferiorly. A subterminal line preoeded by a darker 

 shade analogous to the s. t. line of primaries. Beneath paler, both wings 

 similar, with continued transverse lines distinct, the subterminal preceded by 

 a distinct blackish shade; discal black dots. Expanse, 25 m. m. 



Habitat. — Philadelphia, (Bunte). 



Outline of allied species, but differing in color and in the distinct 

 ornamentation. Palpi projected, compressedly fringed, 2nd article 

 elongated, while the 3rd is porrected at right angles. My specimens 

 are all females ; without a knowledge of the male, so that the antenual 

 structure can be noted, I do not feel certain of its generic position. 



The following is a list of the North American species of Renia: 



discoloralis Guenee. i restrictalis Grote. 



Hypena fallacialis, Walk. j centralis Grote. 



brevirostralis Grote. 

 alutalis Grote. 

 pltnilinealis Grote. 

 larvalis Grote. 



In my previous paper, on page 27 of this volume, the observation 

 relative to the appearance of the t. p. line in this genus, contained in 

 the first four lines on that page, applies to Renia pastoralis and R. 

 Belfragei. It is mistakenly printed before the description of R. cen- 

 tralis. The t. p. line is even, geminate and sinuate in the two last 

 named species of Renia. In the rest it is less conspicuous, irregular, 

 linear, dentate or waved, tending to be marked by dots on the veins. 

 In appearance R. larvalis, R. restrictalis and R. centralis are blackish 

 with indistinct markings ; R. restrictalis the narrowest, most glossy 

 and darkest. 



HYPENA, Treitschke. 



In the collection before me I separate fourteen species of Hypena 

 from the Atlantic District. I have seen in the British Museum 

 specimens referable to this genus and recorded under specific names 

 that I here enumerate without having again identified the species. 

 While Mr. Walker's Hypena fallacialis is a redescription of Renia 

 discoloralis Guenee, his other species not recorded here are, for one 

 cause or another, unentitled to acceptance in our Lists.
