AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 277 



Differs from tlie typical Philereme in the fact that the thorax i? 

 tufted posteriorly, and the vestiture is very decidedly hairy on the 

 fore wings. 



24. PHYL.ACE n. gen. 

 Type luteolata Hulst. 



Palpi long, somewhat drooping or porrect, slender, rather heavily 

 haired ; clypeus with conical tuft ; antennse of S bipectinate, of 9 

 bidentate ; thorax with posterior dorsal tuft. Abdomen of l tufted 

 at end ; hind tibiae with all spurs present ; fore wings 12 veins, two 

 accessory cells, 6 somewhat stemmed with 7 ; hind wings 8 veins, 3 

 and 4 separate, 6 and 7 separate, 8 joined with cell one-half its 

 length. 



Very close to Eustroma Hiib., from which it differs in tiie struc- 

 ture of the antenme, and the absence of the hair pencil of the fore 

 wings in % . It differs from Neolexia in the latter respect. 

 Species. — P. luteolata Hulst, n. sp. 



/ P. luteolata n. sp. — Expands 32 40 mm. Palpi yellow ochreous, fuscous 

 or hlackish at extreme tip ; antennte, head, thorax, abdomen and wings yellow 

 ochreous, the thorax a little mixed with fuscous scales and the abdomen yellowish 

 laterally; fore wings with four yellowish brown lines arranged as in Neolexia 

 xyJina. and of the same general course, but without the base, middle field or outer 

 part being filled in with darker color: between these bands are fainter cross-lines, 

 or faint broader shadings of narrow bands of same color with the more distinct 

 cross-lines ; hind wings more yellowish outwardly, with indications of lines 

 within anal angle scarcely evident; beneath ochreous, the outer middle line evi- 

 dent on fore wings and a marginal subapical spot darker than the ground color ; 

 hind wings with two faint middle lines crossing the wing. 



Two males, one female. Colorado and New Mexico. The insect is 

 very much of the color and general appearance of Eustroma diversi- 

 liiieatum, with the lines in the shape of those of E. populatum or E. 

 prunatum. It has probably been regarded as a fin-m of E. diver.n- 

 lineata, but is very distinct as having bipectinate antennae and want- 

 ing the hair pencil on the fore wings below in the male. 



25. EUSTROMA Hiib. 

 Verz. 33.5, 1818. 



Type prunuta L. 



Palpi rather long, porrect ; front tufted ; antenme of % filiform 

 eiliate, or somewhat serrate ; fore tibiae unarmed, hind tibiae with all 

 spurs present, without hair pencil in % ; fore wings with two acces- 

 sory cells, 12 veins, in % with strong pencil of hairs beneath at 

 base of 16; hind wings 8 veins, 8 with base to beyond middle.
