middle and posterior tibite, otherwise resembling Se/eiiis in size and 

 general appearance. 



Kakopoda cincta, sp. nov. 



Ground color red or umber brown shaded with bluish and black, the lines black. 

 Vertex blackish. Upper side of antennas at basal third, smoky brown. Collar black- 

 ish brown at base. Thorax with an anterior, median and posterior blackish, trans- 

 verse line. Abdomen smoky black at base, obscurely ringed to the apex, which is 

 yellowish brown. Markings of primaries distinct. Basal line geminate, blackish, 

 marked by a paler inclosed shade on the costa. T. a. line geminate, inwardly oblique, 

 a little arcuate, inner line narrow, smoky, outer broad, blackish, a little diffuse, in- 

 cluded space paler on the costa. Throughout the basal space is a bluish shading and 

 a blackish transverse line. The t. p. line consists of a narrow, thread-like paler line, 

 preceded by a prominent black line varying in width, shading inwardly into brown, 

 followed by a steel-blue line which is outwardly diffuse, and shade into the subter- 

 minal space; varying in width. In course it is irregularly sinuate, as a whole about 

 parallel with the outer margin. A narrow, obscure, blackish line runs parallel with, 

 close to and within the t. p. line. Median shade line narrow, blackish, irregular. 

 Reniform blackish, indefinite, moderate in size. S. t. line diffuse, yellowish brown, 

 irregular, angulated below the apex and there emphasized by a preceding black shad- 

 ing. A black, festooned terminal line. Secondaries with the lines of primaries con- 

 tinued, but more crowded toward the center of the wing, leaving the basal and s. t. 

 space clear ; the latter yellowish brown, and forming a short band which joins and 

 matches the last abdominal segment. Beneath yellowish, smoky, both wings crossed 

 by three median, darker, somewhat crenulated lines, and by a looped or festooned 

 terminal line. 



Expands 28 mm. = 1.12 inches. 



Habitat : Biscayne Bay, Florida (Mrs. Slosson). 



A single male only, in good condition. The species should be 

 readily recognizable, though the lines probably vary somewhat and the 

 relative intensity of colors of the maculation may be considerably 

 changed. 



Egryrlon, gen. nov. 



Head moderate in size, well applied to the thorax, but hardly retracted. Eyes 

 hemispherical, hardly prominent, hairy. Front smooth, hardly convex, with a 

 pointed frontal tuft. Antenna; in the female simple, in the male (?). Palpi long, a 

 little oblique, projecting half their length above the front. Middle joint a little the 

 longest, stout, rather closely scaled ; terminal joint more slender, a little flattened, 

 almost equal throughout and obtuse at tip. Thorax about as broad as long, only a 

 little convex, vestiture mixed hair and scales, rather close. Legs moderate in length, 

 closely scaled, except that the middle tibia has a brush of loose vestiture at about the 

 middle. Abdomen conic, closely scaled, scarcely exceeding the anal angles of the 

 secondaries. Primaries trigonate, broad, outer and inner margin of nearly equal 

 length, outer margin arcuate. Secondaries proportionate ; discal cell short, vein 5 as. 

 strong as the others and referable to the median series.
