NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA.

Closely related to Euclea is the genus Adoneta Clem., but in our 
lists it has not been associated with its allies. It differs from Euclea 
in the shorter pectinations of the autenme of the male and the more 
slender body. The shape of the wings and pattern of maculation 
are the same, but the venation diffei’s in that Adoneta has but four 
subcostal venules, while Euclea has five in the fore wings, and the 
subcostal vein in the hind wings divides nearer the tip of the wing 
in Adoneta. These are all weak characters. 
The larvse are of the same structural type in both genera, but 
that of Adoneta is more highly colored. 
From a consideration of characters, drawn principally from the 
larva, I would arrange the genera of the Cochlidiie somewhat as 
follows, omitting the genera of which I do not know the larva ; 
L. flexuosa and L. coesonia of Grote, do not belong to Lhnacodes, 
and will probably have to be referred to Heterogenea or an allied 
genus, as, indeed, Mr. Grote has himself suggested.* 
Varina ornata Neum., in my opinion, does not belong to the Coch- 
lidiie.f I have examined a 9 specimen which Mr. Graef has kindly 
loaned me, and a % from Prof Smith. If the moth is a bombycid 
at all, it will have to be referred to the Dasychirie as its characters 
exclude it from the other subfamilies. I wmuld add the following 
characters to Mr. Neumoegen’s description of the genus : 
Primaries 12-veiued ; internal vein not furcate at base; median 4-branclied, 
vein 5 nearer to 4 than 4 to 3 at base ; cell open ; 6 arising from cross-vein near 
the subcostal; a small, narrow accessory cell; 7 from 8 immediately beyond 
accessory cell ; 8 and 10 together from end of accessory cell ; 9 from 8. rather 
more than half as long as 8. In the secondaries 3 and 4 arise together from the 
end of the median ; cell open ; 5 absent, represented by a fold ; 7 from 6 beyond 
the end of cell ; 8 touches the subcostal at about one-sixth the length of cell from 
base 
Tongue present, but weak ; ocelli small. The thorax is covered 
with scales and hair, and not hair alone, as Mr. Neumoegen states. 
A knowledge of the larva of V- ornata is much to be desired. 
* New Check List, page 63. I think that csesonia may prove to be synonymous 
with Heterogenea shurtleffii Pack. Flexuosa is congeneric, and may be only a 
form of csesonia.
