less roiinded lliau in As///I(itcs, but more roiiiidcil tluui in Lythrla, the apex 

 being much roun(h'(l. The al)(lt)nien is loug and slmider, tufted much as in 

 Aftpilatcs. The iiind h'gs are very long and slender, Ihe four liliial s[)urs long 

 and slender; tarsi as long as the tibite. C'i)l()ialion : fore wings, head, and 

 thorax green ; abdomen and hind wings ochreous. 



This genus would at tirst be mistaken for one of the subfamily Goiiic- 

 trince, from the green thorax and fore wings, but the characters are like those 

 of A.spilatcs, as seen in the palpi, which are larger, but very much broader, 

 in the heavily-pectinated antennpe, the long slender hind legs, and the peculiar 

 form of the abdomen. The venation is similar to that of Aspilutcs, but a 

 careful study could not l)e made on the single specimen received. 



Chloraspilates bicoloraria, sp. nov. Plate 13. 



1 (?. — Head and palpi greenish-ochreoiis ; antenna3 dark brown; thorax 

 above and fore wings deep pea-green ; costa ochreous ; apex, however, green. 

 Three black small costal spots, the third one the largest and sinuate. On the 

 basal third of the wing is a faint, pale, straight line, which ends at the same 

 distance from the insertion of the wing on the inner edge of the wing as on 

 the costal. A straight extradiscal dark line. No discal dot or any other 

 markings on the front wings, which are uniformly dull-greenish. The hind 

 wings are pale-ochreous, dusted with pinkish scales, and with a brown extra- 

 discal line, and faint traces of a parallel submarginal one. Beneath, both 

 wings are nniformly ochreous, with pinkish speckles, but with no markings.

Bastrop, Tex. (Meske). 



This beautiful species may be readily distinguished by its small wings, 

 th(^ anterior pair Ix'ing dull green, and the hinder pair ratiier bright ochreous. 

 Larentia profiigana (H.-Sch., Aussereur. Schm , p. 6(5, tigs. 410, 411) may 

 l)elong to this g(Mius; at any rate, it is allied to A.spila/cs, and does not belong 

 to the Lareiitince. He gives the locality as North America.
