13. PHIL.OBIA Dup. 

 Hist. Nat. vii, 195. 1829. 



Type notata Linn. 



Palpi moderate, subascending, end member horizontal ; tongue 

 developed ; front with conical tuft of hairs ; antennse of % dentate 

 with fascicle of hairs on each segment ; thorax and abdomen smooth ; 

 hind tibite of S swollen, without hair pencil, with all spurs present ; 

 fore wings slightly angled on outer margin, 12 veins, 10 on 9, 11 

 from cell, with fovea below in 'b ; hind wings strongly angled on 

 outer margin, 8 separate from cell, 6 and 7 separate, 5 undeveloped. 



I cannot separate some of our specimens from notata Linn. There 

 are others from the southwest, to which the name enotata may apply, 

 which seem to have the outer line of the fore wings less bent below 

 costa and the antennae of the % more deeply serrate. They are 

 also darker brown in color.

14. 9IA€ARIA Curt. 

 Brit. Ent. iii, 132, 1826. 



Type liturata Clerck. 



Palpi moderate or short, porrect, rough scaled ; tongue developed ; 

 front smooth, or with slight tuft ; antennae of % serrate, ciliate, or 

 subfasciculate ; thoi'ax scaled. Abdomen sometimes somewhat tufted 

 at end ; hind tibise of % lengthened, swollen, with hair pencil, tarsi 

 shortened ; fore wings even, or slightly falcate, with fovea below in 

 % , 12 v^eins or 11, the number being variable in the same species, 

 vein 11 having a tendency to become obsolete; hind wings even, 

 rounded, sometimes wavy, or even angulate on outer margin, 5 un- 

 developed, 6 and 7 separate, 8 separate from cell. 



Aestimaria Hiib., the type of Pharinacis Hiib. and Gonodela Bois. 

 has slightly serrate antennae in % , but lacks the hair pencil. Opv<- 

 thograptii Hiib. and Riimia. Dup., of which luteolata Linn, is the 

 type, have neither serrate antennae nor hair pencil in % . Fsama- 

 todes Guen. is a synonym of Maearia if eremiata Guen. be the type. 



It can, however, be referred to catakmnaria Guen. as type, which 

 Guenee says has pectinated antennae, but which species I have not 

 myself examined.
