AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. • 279 



New York, Washington, Montana, Alberta, Canada. Very much 

 in appearance like Eastroma prunata, with which it may have been 

 confounded, but easily distinguished by the bipectinate antennae. 



The specimen received from Calgarry has the cross-bands blackish 

 instead of brown, and the hind wings have a more distinct banding. 



Bf . Kpeciosn n. sp. — Expands 40 mm. Palpi dark fuscous : front blackish 

 fuscous : front black ; antennte black above, fuscous ochreous below ; thorax dark 

 fuscous, the tufts bright orange-yellow. Abdomen gray, mixed with fuscous, 

 with white dorsal line and with each segment black subdorsally and posteriorly ; 

 fore wings base black with some gray scales across middle, a broad white intra- 

 discal band beyond, shaded with yellowish, except at edges, and with some mixing 

 of blackish scales, a discal band beyond this black, rather narrower than the 

 intra-discal, very slightly lightened at middle: outer space white shaded with 

 yellow and olive to edge ; a scalloped submarginal line, the lunules white without 

 black within, with two heavy black triangular spots below costa near apex, and 

 a large subapical black spot along edge lined above and inwardly with white ; a 

 broken submarginal black line; hind wings smoky gray with two outer scalloped 

 lines both edged with whitish outwardly ; beneath smoky to outer part of discal 

 band on both wings, then a whitish band ; on fore wings beyond this smoky, with

 whitish. 



One % , Calgarry, Alberta, Canada. From Mr. F. H. Wolley-Dod. 



This may be a variety of N. xyliiia Hulst, but the color and 

 shaping of the bands is different, and there is difference of position 

 in the lines of the hind wings. 



27. PL,EMYRIA Hiib. 

 Verz. 327, 1818 {Rheumaptera Hiib. Tentamen 1810). 

 Type bicolorafa Hiib. 



Cosmorhoe Hiib., V'erz. 326, 1818, type galiata Hiib. 

 Epirrhoe Hiib., Verz. 328, 1818, type rivata Hiib. 

 Eidypa Hiib., Verz., 328, 1818. type hastata L. 

 Melariippe Dup., Hist. Nat. viii, 277, 1829, type hast.aia L. 



Palpi moderate, scaled ; tongue developed ; clypeus somewhat 

 scale tufted ; antennae filiform ciliate in both sexes ; thorax and ab- 

 domen smooth; hind tibite w'ith all spurs; fore wings 12 veins, one 

 accessory cell ; hind wings, 8 veins, 6 and 7 stemmed, 8 with cell to 

 beyond middle. 



This corresponds to the Tentamen genus Rheumaptera, the type 

 of which was hastata. Mr. Meyrick calls this genus Plemyria, of 

 which hicolorata Hiib. is the type. Cosmorhoe was named by Hiib- 

 ner with galiata Hiib. as type. Galiata and bicolorata are conge-
