median space and subterminally before the s. t. line. T. p. line bent opposite 

 the cell and most ])rominentIy exserted between veins 3 and 5, even, gcininato, 

 the inner black line most distinct, filled in with a bluish white shade which 

 also follows it and obtains, within the s. t. line, to apices; terminal dots sub- 

 continuous; fringes fuscous. At base there is a black streak before the nngiila- 

 tion of the t. a. line and one below it on internal margin. Submedian fold 

 marked with blackish across the median space. Hind wings bright yellow willi 

 broad black borders and whitish fringe; beneath pale, with a small discal spot 

 and the border repeated. Body parts like the fore wings. Expanse 15 to 26 

 mm.

Hadeiia clelicata, Grote. — 9- — The eyes are naked, the thorax with 

 divided crests, tlie dorsum of the abdomen provided with reduced tufts. The 

 antennje are simple, pubescent, weakly brush-like beneath. A medium sized, 

 dark purpl^' brown-black species, with a slight mossy green shading on the 

 forewings at base, on the ordinary spots and along the subterminal line, accom- 

 jianying the markings. Median lines faint, geminate, the outer scalloped, the 

 inner angulate. Orbicular moderate, black ringed, very near the t. a. line. 

 Claviform unusually large, prominent, distinctly black edged, extending across 

 the median field to the t. p. line. A paler wide shade extends obliquely beyond 

 these two spots across the median field. This character reminds us of Helo- 

 tropha reniformis, the species of Prodenia, etc., but it is here merely a broad 

 lighter tinting of the ground color. Reniform indistinctly outlined, molerate, 

 much shaded with black, the median shade visible obliquely within it over the 

 costal region. Three divaricate white dots on the costa ante-apically. .Sub- 

 terminal line tolerably distinct and continued, irregular, witii a rounded inward 

 sinus above the internal angle, and minute projected denticulations opposite the 

 cell, narrowly whitish, preceded by black points and shaded marks. A termi- 

 nal series of black points. Hind wings pale fuscous, with a faint line and discal 

 mark and a darker fuscous subterminal shade. Underneath with discal marks 

 and very faint shaded fuscous common lines. Thorax, head, and appendages, 

 concolorous with fore wings; faint black stripes on the tegulse. Expanse 38 

 mm.

IIOMOIIADEXA Grote. 

 In this genus the ovipositor is extruded shortly. This is furnished 

 with a row of distinct teeth, shorter in //. badistriga, and longer in 

 IT. Kappa. Between the teeth, along the groove, there is a stouter 

 moderately dense coating of long hair. 



Iloiuoliadciia Kappa. — n. s. — 9- — Wood brown, more purely brown 

 shaded subterminally. Median lines black, evident, approximate, fused by a 

 black streak below the median vein, so that together they resemble the figure 

 of the Greek letter K. A series of subterminal black dashes as in H. badiUriija,
