particularly noticeable in those individuals in whicli tlic wings aie not well 

 angled. These characters are so fundamental thai 1 remove tiie genus from 

 tiie neighboihood of Locog/amiita to that of Endropia. From this genus 

 and Antepione, &c., it dilTers in the rounded hind wings, and their want of any 

 well-marked angle or scaUops. In form, tiiey are not unlike llettrolodta. 

 The venation is much as in Antepione, but the areole is much shorter, l)eing 

 regularly riiomboidal, while in Endropia there is no areole. Anugvga has 

 therefore an interesting combination of the characters of Selidosema, Antepione, 

 Endropia, and Heteroloclia. 



As regards the selection of a generic name, Numeriu must be dropped 

 for either Hiibner's Anagoga (1818) or Stephen's Azinephora (1829) ; tlie 

 former should evidently be retained.

3 c^ and 2 9. — Pale rusty-ash, with a faint lilac tinge, with numerous 

 brown scales and strigfio. In the middle of the fore wing, a dark-brown l)and, 

 contrasting with the rest of tlie wing; inner side of the l)and moderately 

 oblique, the edge being straight, not sinuate. On the outer side, the l)and is 

 deeply hollowed out below the second median venule, the curve being very 

 rcsulai-, and toward the costa the band retreats toward the middle of the 

 wing, so that the band is just as wide on the costa as at the lower portion 

 ojjposite the excavation. Below the costa, the band sends out three prolonged 

 teeth on the last subcostal, and the first and second median venules respect- 

 ively. Beyond, the wing is colored as near the base. Hind wings more 

 densely speckled than fore; wings, with a short, .straight, l)rown line, starting 

 from the inner edge near tlie inner angle, and iiuling away Ix'fore reaching tlie 

 middle i>\' the wing; otherwise, the wing is umiiarked. Beneath, no lines,
