Cleora perpictaria sp. nov. (PI. II, Fig. 14). 



Antennae in $ pectinate, the pectinations short and thick; palpi short, por- 

 rect, blackish ; thorax heavily and roughly scaled with dark olive ; primaries dark 

 olive green, tinged with pinkish along inner margin and slightly on veins beyond 

 the cell, presenting a general mossy appearance with rather diffuse maculation ; 

 t. a. line blackish, outwardly rounded, forming a small dark patch at costa, pre- 

 ceded by a dark parallel shade near base of wing; median line from a dark 

 patch on costa, rather irregular, in general parallel to t. a. line ; t. p. line em- 

 phasized by dots on the veins, parallel to median line as far as vein 3 then 

 strongly curved inward, touching this line at base of vein 2 and more or less 

 united with it to inner margin ; s. t. line whitish, crenulate, very indistinct, shaded 

 inwardly prominently with smoky at costa and on both sides of vein 5 ; outer 

 margin crenulate, bordered by a fine dark line; a rather prominent dark discal 

 dot ; secondaries similar to primaries in color and maculation ; median line want- 

 ing; inner line an oblique dark shade, outer line forming an inward angle shortly 

 above inner margin ; outer margin strongly crenulate ; distinct discal dot. 

 Beneath whitish, shaded with smoky with discal dots on all wings. Expanse 

 30 mm.

The species is quite distinct from any North American form; it 

 rather reminds one of some of the European species belonging to the 

 genus Gnophos; until this large group is thoroughly worked over gen- 

 erically we are in doubt as to its exact location; the $ hind tibiae ap- 

 pear to be without a hair pencil and the curious short pectinations of 

 the antennae are quite characteristic and much as in the genus 

 Track eops. 



Genus Cochisea gen. nov. (Type, C. rigidaria sp. nov.) 



Eyes hairy ; fore tibia with a strong terminal claw ; wing shape, vestiture, 

 and venation as in Amphidasis Tr. (type, betularia L.) 



C. rigidaria sp. nov. (PI. II, Figs. 2, 3). 



Palpi and pectus blackish, front and collar whitish, the latter with the 

 apical portion crossed by a deep black line; thorax deep gray, metathorax 

 crossed by a faint dark line and tufted with white; primaries in $ whitish, 

 sprinkled and suffused with dark gray especially in costal and terminal areas, 

 in $ rather even dark gray; two prominent heavy lines cross the wing, the inner 

 is slightly angled below the costa, prominently rounded outwardly in the cell 

 and strongly oblique from the base of vein 2 to the inner margin near base of 

 wing; the outer line, near outer margin, is slightly lunate from costa to above 

 vein 4, then strongly oblique and parellel to inner line to about the middle of 

 inner margin; it is followed by a broad brownish band (not distinct in $ ), 

 heaviest and broadest at inner margin and edged faintly outwardly with smoky;
