atcly swollen; tarsi lari>c, two-fhinls as long as the tiljipe. Coloration: ash- 

 gray, witii the extradiscal line straight, bent before reaching the costa. 

 Discal spots distinct. 



This gen US' ditfcrs from Eugonla or Tetyacis in the entire, broad, non- 

 falcate wings, with the single bend in the middle, nearly obsolete in cervi- 

 naria, which is rather an aberrant species.

2 9 . — Head and palpi ochreous, much lighter than the rest of the body. 

 This belongs to a distinct section of the genus, the apex of the wings being 

 acute, but the angle in the middle obsolete; otherwise the markings are as 

 usual in the genus. Body and wings fawn-colored, being much darker than 

 in any other species. Both wings uniformly fawn, with fine dark speckles. 

 On ti)re wings between the two lines darker, with a large distinct discal dot, 

 the two lines blacki.sh, fine, the inner curved, especially toward the costa ; 

 in the other specimen much less curved. Outer line slightly oblique, 

 less so than usual, ending on the costa farther from the apex than usual, 

 in tact being just parallel to the outer edge of the wing; it is a little sinu- 

 ate; the distance between the lines varies, the space being half as wide in 

 some as in others. Fringe concolorous with the wings. Hind wings a little 

 darker inside of (he line tiian outside; the line is as on the fore wings and 

 considerably curved. A very faint discal dot. Beneath uniformly fawn-ash, 

 being ligliter than ai)ovc; the lines are obsolete, but the median shade on 

 the fore wings faintly appears through, and the discal dots are small l)ut dis- 

 tinct; the wings are regularly and finely speckled. 



Length of body, 9, 0.33; of fore wing, 9, 0.50; expanse of wings, 

 1.00 inch. 



Texas, May 8 (Belfrage). 



It may l)e known by the fiiwn-colored wings, the median shade bounded 

 by dark lines, and by the outer line ending on the co.sta much farther from 

 th(! apex, and not bent back on the costa as usual in the genus. The vena- 

 tion of this peculiar species is represented on plate 6, fig. Id'.
