AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 215 



nothing in common. The wings differ in shape, the armature of tibia 

 varies decidedly, the vestiture is entirely hairy, and the form is so evi- 

 dently different that a reference to the "sub-genus" Heliothis would 

 have been most proper. Expands 1| inch, 28-32 millim. 

 Habitat. — Colorado, Montana.

Papilio I, 77. Tibia PI. VII, fig. :>,. 



Eyes naked, globose ; head scarcely retracted, large, clypeus bulging ; 

 palpi slightly exceeding the front, heavily fringed with scales beneath ; 

 tongue strong ; thorax heavy with very long dense hairy vestiture, some- 

 what divergent pategiae and a dense basal tuft ; abdomen untuf'ted, conic • 

 primaries narrow, with produced apices and oblique outer margin ; tibiae 

 not spinose, anterior flattened with " a broad rounded exterior projec- 

 tion, a very long stout spine [claw] near the inner margin, and a short 

 spine at the extremity of the inner edge." 



Peculiar by the armature of the anterior tibia, combined with the lack 

 of spines on the other pairs. Judging from Mr. Grote's very superficial 

 generic description, and the superficial examination I was at that time 

 enabled to make, I referred this genus to Schinia Hb. in my synopsis of 

 the genera. From that genus it differs by the lack of spines on the 

 tibiae. 



T. saporis, Grt., Papilio 1, 77. PI. VIII, fig. 5, -White, with a broad me- 

 dian space on primaries blackish; terminal spaces leaden grey, sub-terminal 

 space white with intermediate small zigzag black marks at middle; secondaries 

 with dusky outer margin. I have examined the type from Mr. Edwards' collec- 

 tion. Expands 1£ inch, 28 millim. 



Habitat. — Washington Territory (Grote), Southern California (Henry 

 Edwards.)

 Noct. Eur. p. ISO. 



Eyes naked; clypeus with cylindrical projection impressed at tip; 

 tongue very long and strong ; antenna heavy in the % with moderately 

 long ciliation ; palpi short and drooping ; thorax convex with dense 

 woolly clothing ; abdomen conic in both sexes, in the 9 with extruded 

 oviduct ; tibiae not spinose ; anterior armed at tip with two claws one 

 above the other at outer side ; first tarsal joint also with a stout spine at tip. 



This is Lederer's description of the genus, and PI. VII, fig. 4, shows 

 the tibial armature of phlabophora Led. The only American represen- 

 tative of the genus hitherto described is unknown to me and is incor- 

 rectly placed in this genus. The following is new : 



A. palleus, sp. nov. — Differs from the European species and from the de- 

 scription of the genus by the lack of terminal armature of the anterior tibia, but
