both running: to apex auJ meeting there : cilia fuscous. Hindwings

Bew Mexico, Las Vegas, in July ; two specimens. 



ACTINOSCELIS, n. g. 



Head smooth, forehead forming a raised fillet, face retreating ; 

 ocelli absent ; tongue very short. Antennae |, in S with long 

 fine ciliations, basal joint elongate, flatly dilated with scales. 

 Labial palpi very short, drooping, slender, pointed. Maxillary 

 palpi absent. Posterior tibiae smooth, with radiating whorls of 

 extremely long fine bristles at origin of spui's, apex of long inner 

 spurs terminating in whorls of bristles, apex of tarsal joints also 

 with similar radiating whorls. Hindwings g, linear, cilia 6. 

 Neuration not properly determinable, but may be assumed to 

 resemble Corsocasis in type, perhaps with some reduction.

 Avings very narrowly elongate, costa somewhat sinuate, apex long- 

 pointed, acute ; violet-fuscous ; a moderate longitudinal grej-- 

 whitish streak in disc beyond middle, and a similar one along 

 dorsum beneath it : cilia violet-fuscous, Hindwings dark fuscous ;

 beneath, terminal joint as long as second, transversely compressed, 

 pointed. Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Posterior tibiae with 

 scattered bristles above, and whorls of bristly projecting scales at

 somewhat approximated towards base.
