tion of vein 8; grayish-white, slightly dusted with fuscous; cilia gray, 

 1 ; abdomen grayish-fuscous above ; anal bush gray. Underside of 

 body and legs silvery white, anterior and middle legs rather thickly 

 the posterior slighly dusted with fuscous. Expansion 13.5 mm., 0.54 

 inch. 



Hab. — Georgia (Forsyth). A male specimen in my col- 

 lection, collected in 1895. 



In coloration this species does not differ from the preced- 

 ing, except perhaps in the more pronounced yellow, it is, 

 however, larger, wings relatively wider, the hindwings obtuse 

 at apex, and vein 10 of forewing is somewhat removed from 

 angle of cell ; 3 + 4 of hindwing from a very short stem, 5 

 subconnate with the latter. 



HOLCOCEKA Clem. 

 Type chalcofrontella. 



Catacrypsis Wish., Cy notes Wish., Prorodica Wish., Hypatopa 

 Wish. {Hypatima H. S.). 



Tongue long, scaly at base. Labial palpi long, ascending, 

 generally recurved. Antennas about three-fifths the length 

 of the forewings, basal joint broad with setaceous pecten ; 

 shaft either excised above the basal joint in the male, or else 

 similar in the sexes, frequently ciliated in the male. Fore- 

 wings more or less elongated, pointed, without scale tufts ; 

 12 veins, 7 + 8 stemmed, 7 to costa before the apex ; rest of 

 veins free. Hindwings ovate to lanceolate ovate, generally 

 acutely pointed ; costa more or less refuse beyond insertion 

 of vein 8. All veins present, 3 + 4 generally stemmed, 

 rarely connate, 5 free, connate with stem of 3 + 4 or arising 

 from stem of the latter. Brush of bristly hairs of hind 

 tibia always well developed. 



The genus as here defined comprises a rather large num- 

 ber of species of diverse appearance and habitus. They are 

 generally attracted by light. Of their primary stages, food 

 plants, etc., but little is known. 



Clemens in his description of the genus says : " A furcate 

 apical branch near its end (the anterior median), the lower 

 branch running into the apex of the wing." This is not the
