96 IOWA STUDIES IN NATURAL HISTORY 



Primaries rather long; costa flattened in middle; outer margin 

 curved, flattened before anal angle; apex rounded-rectangular. 

 Secondaries lobed slightly at anal angle, otherwise rounded. Cell 

 of primaries over three-fifths as long as wing ; discocellulars weak, 

 slightly oblique ; vein 5 arising a little nearer to 4 than to 6, al- 

 most straight. Male with a slender, well developed stigma run- 

 ning from the base of vein 3 to just within the middle of vein 1. 

 Middle tibiae with a few long spines. Fig. 28.

Genus EPIPHYES Dyar 

 Epiphyes Dyar, Jn. N. Y. Ent. Soc. xm, 132, 1905. Type 

 Pamphila Carolina Skinner. 

 I have seen but one poor specimen of the female of Carolina. 

 From it nothing can be told except that vein 5 is but slightly 

 curved and not much nearer to 4 than to 6. It therefore belongs 

 with Lerema and allied genera, and according to Dyar's descrip- 

 tion of the male stigma it should constitute a good genus. The 

 original description of Epiphyes is as follows: "Antennal club 

 cylindrical, the point rather obtuse and about equal to the diam- 

 eter of the club. Palpi with the third joint moderate, rather 

 slender ; wings normal, vein 2 arising at the middle of the cell, 

 3 before the end. Mid tibiae spiny. Male stigma a large, ill 

 defined blotch. Type Pamphila Carolina Skinner." 



1. EPIPHYES CAROLINA 



Pamphila Carolina Skinner, Ent. News in, 222, 1892.

North Carolina. 



The species is easily recognized by the well defined, pale yellow macula- 

 tion and the form of vein 5 of the primaries.
