{Telralophd), Geol. Surv. Terr. Bull., IV, 690, 1878. 

 Head and thorax fuscous gray, abdomen yellowish. Fore win^s cloudy fuscous 

 gray with a slightly russet shading at times. Middle field lighter, just beyond basal 

 line often light gray. A cross band of larger scales on basal field rising into a bjack 

 tufting near middle. Another near middle of middle field, often forming a dentate 

 black line, sometimes only scattered .black dots, this scale ridge also with 2 or 3 tuft- 

 mgs. Outer line quite even, strongly bent. Hind wings light pellucid fuscous, outer 

 line evident darker fuscous. Expands 18 to 25 mm. 



Central Texas, August. I have not been able to examine the 

 venation of this insect but have little doubt it belongs to Lanthaphe 

 rather than Tetralopha. As determining Teiralopha 1 take the first 

 species described under it, \iz : militella, Zell., as the type 01' the genus. 



T. militella, Zell. Isis, 880, 1848. Grote, Geol. Surv. Terr.

Head and thorax fuscous gray. Fore wings with very convex fore margin, 

 obtuse apex and rounded posterior angle. Color fuscous gray, washed slightly with 

 russet, lines rather indistinct, the outer bent and dentate beyond cell, with li^ht gray 

 edging outwardly. At outer part of basal field along inner margin an oval reddish 

 spot surmounted with a black scale tuft ; generally also a russet shading at posterior 

 angle. Hind wings dull fuscous. Abdomen yellowish fuscous, basal segment 

 blackish, the others annulated with darker and lighter coloring.

Central Texas, ]\Iarch. Possibly not really distinct from T. iiltella. 



ATTACAPA, gen. nov. 

 {Attacapa, a tribe of Indians of Louisiana and Texas). 

 Very much as in 7ioga, but the antennal process is entirely wanting, the basal 

 member being merely swollen posteriorly. Venation — 11 veins : ri' as usual, but the 

 inner median is very little swollen, and the vitreous spot almost or quite lost, i not 

 furcate at base. O, i not furcate, 3 separate, 4 and 5 long stemmed, 6, 7, 8 and 9 

 stemmed. Hind wings, 3 at angle separate, 4 and 5 long stemmed, 6 at a point with

Expands, 16 mm. Palpi, head, antenn;x; and thorax uneven fuscous gray ; fore 



wings gray, rather strongly overlaid with blackish, more especially on the basal 



field ; extreme base and posterior portion of basal field reddish ; basal cross-line
