 wing structure. 



T3^pes, received from Miss Murtfeldt (Missouri), are in U. S.

Plate XXX, fig. 20. 

 Gnorhnoschema Busck, Proc. LT. S. Nat. Mus., XXIII, 1900, p. 227. 



Antenna? simple; labial palpi long curved, second joint large, with 

 a well-developed, furrowed brush beneath; terminal joint shorter than 

 second, more or less thickened with scales except at extreme tip, 

 which is pointed and thin, laterally compressed,^ front sharp, some- 

 times slightly serrate. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Tongue moderate 

 scaled at base. 



Anterior wings narrow, elongate, somewhat sinuate beloAV apex, 

 which is bent slightly downward. 



Posterior wings a little broader than anterior wing-s; costa deflected 

 downward from the middle of the wing; apex produced, termen 

 sinuate, tornus rounded, dorsal edge straight. 



Venation. — Forewings: 12 veins, 7 and 8 stalked, the rest separate. 

 Hindwings: 8 veins. 3 and 4 connate, 5 approximate to 4, and 7 

 parallel. 



The species recognized as belonging- to this genus may be separated 

 by the following table: 



With dorsal edge distinctively darker than costal edge 1 



Donsal edge not darker than costal edge 3 



1 . Head and palpi, pure white Im-acollclla, p. 835 



Head and palpi, not pure white 2 



2. Dorsal edge, blackish .terratliinljuUa, p. 829 



Dorsal edge, not blackish jiorella, p. 832 



' This is a better description than the original, given of third joint of tlie labial 

 -jmlpi; it is not scales, but the joint itself, which projects above the thickened part.
