AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 117 



Syneda deducta Morr. The female seems to be described as Syneda 

 pavitensis by Mr. Morrison. The second species is much larger and 

 appears to be undescribed. For the two species I propose the name 

 Cirrhobolina.

 9 Si/neda pavitensis, Morr. Proc. Bost. S. N. H. 221. 

 Texas. Both sexes in considerable variation as to the distinctness 

 of markings on the fore wings collected by Mr. Belfrage. 



2. Cirrhobolina incandescent, n. sp. 



Expanse 40 mm. 9 . — This larger species differs from deducta, by 

 the fore wings being uniformly ashen, shaded with brown along the 

 subterminal line which shows a superior black mark with a blackish 

 indistinct ringlet to the reniform and some blackish costal blotches, 

 else all the markings and lines obsolete. Hind wings as in deducta 

 but with the lunule ve7-j/ pale not deep yellow. The undersurface 

 differs from deducta in the obsolescence and fragmentary state of the 

 terminal black borders and the inconspicuous discal point on the 

 secondaries. Taken Dec. 1, by Mr. Belfrage and numbered " 17." 



To the kindness of Mr. Henry Edwards I owe an opportunity of 

 examining specimens of Syneda Edwardsii Behr, Syneda ochraeea 

 Behr, Syneda socia Behr, Syneda adumbrata Behr, Syneda divergens 

 Bchr and Syneda Stretchii Behr, the latter is a later name for Syneda 

 Howlandii, Grote. * 



Bolina ochreifiascia, Harvey. 



This species very nearly resembles B. nigrescens in size and color 

 but may be sufficiently distinguished and is characterized by an oblique 

 median ochreous fascia whieh shows outwardly the brown median shade 

 line. I have adopted Dr. Harvey's MS. name. I have never found 

 B. pallescens G. and 11., in any of Mr. Belfrage's Texan collections 

 which I have examined since 1866. The type in the Society's collec- 

 tion was collected by Mr. Cresson in the neighborhood of ^evf Braun- 

 fels. 



Jflelanomnia auriclnctaria, n, g. et sp. 



% ■ — The antennae are very shortly and coarsely bipectinate and the 

 labial palpi are porrected and a little longer than usual. The hind 

 tibiae have two pair of spurs. The wings are elongate with arched 

 apices and more rounded than in Eupithecia. The little moth has 

 the appearance of Ci/matophora (Boarmia) being gray with transverse 

 dark lines. The inner line on the primaries is rivulous. An even
