and markedly though irregularly toothed. In sylvestris the latter 

 are long, rather slender, and smooth. The entire genitalia is some- 

 what smaller and less robust in sylvestris than in discovata. Beau- 

 tiful slides of the two species have been prepared by Mr. Carl

GOPHA ? PRAXIA, new species. 



Male. — Antennae with long pectinations not reaching tips. Palpi 

 long, obliquely ascending the third joint downbent, one- third the 

 length of second joint, both deeply fringed below, chocolate brown. 

 Head and collar dark brown mottled with white, the collar tipped 

 with white. Thorax dark purple, the patagia fringed with brown 

 and ocherous. Abdomen silky brown, the anal tuft and small 

 dorsal tuft at base black-brown. Fore wings dark dull purple 

 brown, with lighter brown shading on inner margin just above sub- 

 median antemedially, and postmedially at veins 2-4; a gray ante- 

 medial line edged with dark brown, wavy and somewhat interrupted, 

 outbent to within cell, then inbent to inner margin; a white spot 

 on discocellular, with a short white upbent line projecting from it 

 proximally, followed by a fuscous brown spot with similar smaller 

 spots above it in a line toward apex; postmedial white points on 

 veins, which are also minutely irrorated with white to subterminal 

 line; four white points on costa toward apex; subterminal dark 

 brown lunules outwardly edged with white; a terminal dark line 

 with white points on veins. Hind wings fuscous brown shaded with 

 whitish toward base and on costal margin; a fuscous spot and a 

 few white scales at anal angle. Fore wings below gray brown, the

 white; a fine brown line starting from a small antemedial spot on 

 costa, deeply outbent, indentate in cell, interrupted above median, 

 indicated by clusters of scales above and below submedian; an 

 olive brown streak below cell from base to medial line, edged at 

 base by a black line; the medial line also very fine, inangled below 

 cell, and more deeply on submedian; a fine curved brown line at 

 discocellular followed by a dark olive gray shade, narrowing and
