wavy, angulate, 12 veins, 10 and 11 from cell; hind wings 5 unde- 

 veloped, 6 and 7 separate, 8 separate from cell, the wings wavy 

 angulate. 



Species. —J/, occidentalis Hulst, n. sp. 



M. occidentalis n. sp. — Expands 40-50 mm. Very much like Azelina 

 pephiria var. hubneruta. but considerably larger, and heretofore catalogued as the 

 Pacific form of that variety. It may be distinguished by the antennse of the % 

 and is probably a " species darwiniana," in which the colore have persisted, while 

 the antennal structure is modified.

The description is from the American species as I do not know the 

 type of the genus. Mr. Warren is responsible for the application 

 of this name to the N. A. sj)ecies heretofore listed under Drepaiiodes
