12 Notes on the Lepidoptera of Amerrea. 
here associated with one of the lower genera, which, although 
higher than Dioptis, still, by its weak body parts and especially 
by its slight abdomen and the mealy squamation of the latter, 
evinces a sensible degradation from the firm body crust and 
concentrated characters of the more typical genera of the 
Family. M. regnatrix, is the third Cuban species of the genus 
described ; the two formerly known being M. fumosa, Grote, 
and M. geometroides, Walker, The analogies of Melanchroia 
with the Phalaenidae would be indicated by the name given 
to this latter species by Mr. Walker; these are, however, more 
truly taken from the Bombycidae.

2. Pale yellowish ochreous. Head, thorax, and legs, whitish 
ochreous ; antennae simple, whitish ; legs slight, hind tibiae with 
short spurs. 
Anterior wings a little rounded along costal margin at base, 
depressed sub-apically ; apices truncated; external margin broadly 
produced above the middle. External margin of secondaries 
broadly produced about the middJe. Primaries pale ochre yellow, 
sparsely and irregularly irrorate with brown scales. A broad, 
arcuate, brownish black, transverse anterior band. <A sub-obsolete 
discal spot. A very broad, prominent, angulated, blackish brown 
transverse posterior band, distinctly margined on either side. This 
is twice bent or angulated: first, immediately at costa; secondly, 
opposite the disc. A faint, whitish, diffuse, sub-terminal shade. 
Immediately below the apices, the external margin, which is here 
excavate, is edged with brownish scales. Secondaries, whitish ochre- 
ous, paler and more thinly scaled than primaries, tinged with a more
