hairs and extends beyond the wing, forming an ear-like appearance 

 to the anal angle. 



The genus forms a transition to our genera which fall under the 

 Strophidiinse, but from the characteristic union of vein 8 and the 

 cell of hind wings must be referred to the Sterrhinse. I do not 

 know the $ .

STROPHIDIIN^. 



The North American representatives of this subfamily are very 

 few in number, and are quite distinct from the more typical members 

 of the family. In two of the species the hind wings are incised on 

 the outer margin, and in the third the anterior margin on the hind 

 wings is strongly sinuate. The species are without the humeral 

 angle of vein 9 at base of hind wings. 



I have hitherto called this subfamily the Microniinse. Mr. Mey- 

 rick calls attention to the fact that Micronia Guen. is a synonym of 

 Strophidia Hiib., and of course the family name nmst be based on a 

 genus, not a synonym.
