AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 221 



margin. It is also rather more deeply yellow in ground color than 

 the other species, and owes the outward darkening less to a denser 

 powdering than to a deepening of the actual tint. The tongue is 

 very weak, and in some examples also very short ; but that seems a 

 variable quantity. 



In one example the longitudinal streaking is sufficiently well 

 marked to suggest strigata, but the much broader wing, the distinct 

 t. p. line and the very dark under side serve as distinctive charac- 

 ters. It seems that, in this species, the stumpiest wings are best 

 marked, and that all the markings intensify in similar proportion. 



Eucalyptra uuiboiiata n. sp. — Head, thorax and primaries a deep 

 chocolate brown, somewhat lustrous. Primaries with a series of darker terminal 

 lunules. In some specimens a punctiform t. p. line is indicated. Discal spots 

 punctiform, black, usually present, and in one example the reuiform is geminate. 

 Secondaries a paler, more smoky brown, palest at base. Beneath, dull chocolate 

 brown, powdery, immaculate. Expands 1.00-1.16 inches = 25-29 mm. 



Hab. — Hastings, Florida, April (Kearfott) and June (Barnes). 



This has the general wing form of humeralis, but is easily distinct 

 by its uniform chocolate brown color, which is not due to a powder- 

 ing or an overlay upon a lighter base. The tongue is weak and 

 only moderate in length. I have eight examples, all of them males. 



Eucalyptra apicalis n. sp. — Front of head, palpi and anterior legs 

 brown. Head above, thorax and primaries whitish, with fine black powderings. 

 Primaries with a punctiform terminal line and punctiform discal spots, else im- 

 maculate. Secondaries creamy white or yellowish to smoky gray, immaculate. 

 Beneath, smoky gray or brownish, more or less powdery. Expands .80-1.00 

 inches = 20-25 mm. 



Hab. — Hastings, Florida, June 8th to 20th (Barnes) ; September 

 21st to October 6th (Kearfott). 



Six $ and four 9 examples, varying only in the apparent color- 

 ation. The June specimens are as a whole more gray than those 

 dated September and October, and they are also the larger. Other- 

 wise there seems no difference, and in none is there any appearance 

 of a transverse or longitudinal line or shade. The tongue is much 

 reduced, and in some exemples seems almost wanting at first sight. 

 The character of the wing form has been already discussed. 



Eucalyptra minorata n. sp.— Ground color whitish, so densely pow- 

 dered with black as to seem gray. Palpi, head beneath and anterior legs brown. 

 Primaries with a heavier powdering to form an evenly curved very obscure t. a. 

 line over the punctiform orbicular. T. p. line continuous, single, fasci form, bent
