CHARICLEA, Kirby. 
Chariclea exprimens. 
Heliothis exprimens, Walker. 
Represents in the Atlantic District the European Chariclea 
umbra, Lederer’ (Heliothis marginata, Auct.). 
Argillophora,® n. g. 
Ocelli. Antennae simple, scaled, pubescent in both sexes. Labial palpi 
porrected, curved, coarsely scaled, held apart from, but not exceeding, the front, 
divaricate. Wings rather wide and subangulate. Fore wings roundedly pro- 
duced opposite median nervules, below which the external margin is cut 
inwardly to internal angle. Hind wings with rather determinate apices, full 
about median nervules and a little inwardly cut before anal angle. Primaries 
12-veined; 3, 4,5, near together, 5 near 4, joined by a portion of the cross 
vein which is discontinued, leaving the cell open. An accessory cell from the 
middle of the lower margin of which 6 is angulatedly thrown off opposite 5 ; 
Zand 8 arise together from the outer point of the cell; 9 out of 8 to costa 
just before apex; 10 out of the upper margin of the cell near its apex to 
costa; 11 out of subcostal nervure opposite 2; 12a simple nervure to costa 
near 11. Hind wings with two internal veins, 1and1a@; 38 and 4 from one 
point; 5 removed, springing from the cross vein which beyond its inception, 
arcuatedly closes the cell; 6 and 7 from one point, together; 8 from the ner- 
vure at a point within the inception of 2. Hind tibiae with double spurs. 
Body linear; abdomen exceeding the secondaries, with very minute dorsal 
tufts, 
The color is yellowish buff, wings nearly alike, primaries with a 
white angulate fascia, so that we are reminded of Leucania. But in 
the arcuate palpi, the wide wings, their shape and the neuration, 
we see that we have to do with a form allied to Spargaloma, and 
belonging to a very different group of the family. 
Argillophora fureilla, Grote. 
2 9.—Dull creamy buff, shaded with blackish obliquely downwards from 
the apex inwardly, and longitudinally from the base outwardly over the me- 
dian space. A black dot at base, one at the locality for the orbicular, and one 
(sometimes wanting) at the extremity of the cell, all parallel. A prominent 
5Gr.; dapytadoc et pépo.
