over the cell and rigidly oblique from the angle to the hind margin. A lunuate 

 terminal line. Discal spots black, punctiform. Secondaries smoky gray, with a 

 darker terminal line; else immaculate. Beneath, smoky brown, powdery ; sec- 

 ondaries with a blackish discal lunule. Expands .76 inches = 19 mm. 



Hub. — Hastings, Florida, October 4th. 



One male specimen in rather poor condition, from Mr. W. D. 

 Kearfott. This is the smallest species of the genus, and it is unfort 

 unate that there should be one example only. The traceable t. a. 

 line of the primaries above and the dusky lunule of the secondaries 

 below should make the species recognizable. The tongue is moder- 

 ate in length but weak. 



ARETYPA n. gen. 



Head rather small, closely applied to the thorax, yet not re- 

 tracted ; eyes naked, hemispherical, somewhat protuberant; front 

 full, smooth ; palpi oblique, exceeding the head by more than its 

 own length, basal joint moderate, rather slender, second joint trans- 

 versely flattened at tip, vestiture directed forward and downward, 

 terminal joint a little drooping; antenna of male lengthily bipecti- 

 nated, the branches ciliated, each branch with a curved bristle at 

 the inner side of the tip; tongue spiral, moderate in length and 

 apparently functional. Thorax moderate, subglobose, vestiture com- 

 posed of flattened hair forming no tufts; collar and patagia not 

 relieved; legs long and slender, closely scaled, with the usual spurs 

 long, but otherwise unarmed. Primaries trigonate, proportionately 

 large, apex a little pointed ; venation normal, veins 7 and 9 from 

 the end of the accessory cell 8 out of 9 half way to the apex. On 

 the secondaries vein 5 is weaker than the others, though fairly well 

 developed, and is from the cross vein about one-third across the cell. 



This genus differs from Eucalyptra in the lengthily pectinated 

 antenna of the male, in the slender, longer legs, and in the differing 

 form of the primaries which have the outer margin a little excava- 

 ted below the apex. These points were noted in my description of 

 the species referred here; but I thought at that time that it might 

 remain associated with bipuncta ; the occurrence of so many other- 

 species, all closely allied would leave pectinicornis as an abnormity 

 and it is therefore separated as the type of the present genus. 



Amolita obliqua n.sp. — Head and thorax creamy yellow, with a pinkish 

 flush, immaculate. Primaries with a more or less obvious reddish flush over a 

 pale yellowish base, an admixture of brown and blackish scales giving the wings
