distal end covered with sharply recurved spines. Length 
7-8’—1"; girth about 114”. . 
Described from one male specimen, for which we are indebted 
to Dr. Wm. Barnes, of Decatur, Illinois. 
Genus Pseudohazis Grote and Robinson. 
Median thoracic line distinct on the prothorax and meso- 
thorax, faint on the metathorax; first pair of wings with the 
anal angles broadly rounded, near the cephalic margin of the 
fourth abdominal segment; second pair of wings visible along 
entire dorsal margin of first wing, its margin entire, but never 
produced beyond the anal angle of first pair of wings and never 
visible in ventral view; spiracular line straight; cephalic margins 
of abdominal segments 5 to 7 produced into thick, oblique, 
flange-like plates directed caudad; suture between the seventh 
and eighth abdominal segments deep, the cephalic margin 
with distinct crenulations along both margins, the cephalic 
margin with quadrangular depressions, the caudal margin 
with deep longitudinal furrows; cremaster short, bearing a 
fan-shaped group of long straight setae. 
This genus and species have been described from a single 
specimen kindly loaned by the American Museum of Natural 
History through the kindness of Mr. J. A. Grosbeck. Unfor- 
tunately the specimen had lost its prothorax, face-parts, and 
all appendages except. the wings. These descriptions are in- 
cluded, however, to show the relationship of this genus to the 
genus Hemileuca. Little is known of its life history, but 
it spends its pupal life in the ground. There are three species 
named in Dyar’s ‘‘List of North American Lepidoptera,” 
all from the western part of the United States. 
Pseudohazis eglanterina Boisduval. Color dark reddish 
brown; exposed surface of thorax, wings and abdomen coarsely 
shagreened; abdominal segments 5 to 7 with their flange-like 
plates shagreened like the remainder of the segment, except 
for a few faint longitudinal striations near the margin; abdom- 
inal segments 4 to 8 with a raised transverse line near the caudal 
margin of the segment; cremaster about one millimeter in length, 
indefinitely rugose, conical, bearing a fan-shaped group of 
coarse, straight setae. Length, abdomen expanded, about 
1 1-8”; girth 114”.
