shade, and a similar ray from the same point extends through the submedian 
interspace, also joining the marginal hand. Secondaries above, a deep blackish 
gray, with pale rosy fringes. Beneath, primaries deep blackish gray; seconda- 
ries paler, flushed with pink aloiig the costa, and a very decided rosy shade ex- 
tending from the apex along the outer margin nearly to the anal angle. Expands

Hab. — Colorado (Bruce). 
The single male from which this description is made is from Mr. 
Neumoegen’s collection, hut I think I have seen others, also of Mr. 
Bruce’s collecting, from the same locality. The species should not

XAMTHODES Gn. 
A somewhat peculiar genus, resembling in its form and habitus 
Chariclea and Aedophron, but didering in venation, form of palpi, 
etc. Of medium size, slender, the entire insect somewhat depressed ; 
front with a smooth, horizontally [irojecting conic tuft; tongue spiral. 
Eyes large and naked, anteniue thin, bristle-form, in the male with 
short fine ciliie. Palpi slender, apparently, from the smooth close 
vestiture, of equal thickness, converging, somewhat upcurved, then 
projecting in the form of a snout beyond the palpi. Collar convex 
close to the dorsum and through the fine hairy vestiture scarcely to 
be distinguished from it. Abdomen smooth, with thin vestiture. 
Legs strong, unarmed and closely scaled, only the outside of the 
tibiie with dense, woolly, thick hair. Primaries without accessory 
cell, 6, 7-8 and 9-10 out of the tip of the median cell ; broad, with 
feebly arcuate outer margin. Secondaries with vein 5 weak. 
The above is a close translation of Lederer’s description of the 
genus which has been introduced into our fauna by Mr. Grote for 
his species Schinia buxea; the genus Trileuca being [iroposed for 
Schinia rectifascia and S. gnluare Strk. In the “ Revised Check 
List” S. gubuire is referred to Lygranthcecia, to which it does not 
belong, while buxea and redifacla go into Trileuca and are refei’red 
to the Acontiiiue. S. gulnare Mr. Grote did not know, and was, of 
course, justified in leaving it where its author put it. Trileuca may 
be a good genus, but it does not belong to the Acontiiiue. Its rela- 
tions are with Calynuiia. and Cosinia, or perhaps very near to Atethmia. 
Xanthodes, as based on the Eui’opean type, is unlike either of the 
species associated with it by IMr. Grote, and I do not know of any 
American species that could be properly referred to it. 
Mr. G rote makes a very touching plea for his genus Lygranthcecia 
in the Proc. Am. Philos. Soc. 1888, 173, but does not show anywhere
