and narrowing greatly on the costa. The space behind the me- 

 dian band is the same color as the base, and encloses the usual 

 sub-costal spot, which is here whitish, edged with brown, and with 

 a small tooth anteriorly below the middle, irregular on its poste- 

 rior edge. Submarginal space, greyish. Margin, blackish, scal- 

 loped, with the fringes stone drab, pointed with brown at the 

 extremity of the nervures. 



Secondaries, sordid white at the base, broadly shading into 

 dusky on the margins. Sublunate discal spot, very distinct. 

 Underside, sordid white, with the margins and a central shade 

 joined to submarginal band, dusky. 



Exp. wings, 1.40 inch.

Synedoida Inepta, n. sp. 



Ground color of primaries, reddish fawn color, as also is the 

 thorax. The lines are distinct, and are blackish in most exam- 

 ples, though sometimes they are almost lost in the ground color 

 of the wing. The ant. line is very broad, oblique, only slightly 

 toothed. The basal space is a little paler than the median band, 

 which is a reddish fawn color, nearly equal in its width throughout, 

 and terminated posteriorly by a faint black line. On this, near 

 the costa, rests a small and almost obsolete white blotch, toothed 

 posteriorly, and surrounded by a blackish shade. The sub-me- 

 dian space is greyish, with some dusky lines indicating the course 

 of the nervures. Sub-marginal space, bright fawn color, the ter- 

 mination of the nervures marked by black lunules. Fringe, con- 

 colorous. Secondaries, sordid white at the base, the margins, as 

 are also the nervures and the lunate discal spot, smoky black. 

 Fringe, reddish white. Underside, wholly sordid white, with a 

 broad blackish shade crossing the primaries near the middle, and 

 a faint linear shade near the apex. Fringes concolorous. Exp. 

 wing, 1.40 inch.

Synedoida morbosa, n. sp. 



In this species, which is closely allied to the last, the general 

 color is pale ochreous, with all tne lines, though strong, somewhat 

 confused in their outline. The basal space is larger than in S. 

 Inepta, and the reniform is well marked, almost black, and sur- 

 rounded by a dusky cloud. In S. Inepta, the reniform is obso- 

 lete. Along the costa are four blackish triangular patches, the 

 apical largest. At the base of the costa are four indistinct black 

 dots. The t. a. line is oblique, toothed outwardly, and there is no 

 line visible on the median space between it and the submarginal line 

 which is broad, slightly dusky, sinuous, with two large teeth direct-
