Rather like a pale Eois ossularia Hbn. but the structure would 
throw it, according to Hulst’s tables, into the genus Leptomeris. 
XyYSTROTA ROSELCOSTA sp. noy. (PI. VIII, Figs. 7, 8). 
Antennae of ¢ lengthily serrate and fasciculate, almost bipectinate, of @ 
faintly ciliate; palpi purplish-red; fore and middle legs purplish red on basal 
joints, shading into ochreous on tarsi; posterior legs white; head, thorax and 
abdomen white; primaries white, more or less heavily sprinkled with fuscous 
scales, maculation very variable in distinctness, at times almost immaculate, well- 
marked specimens with following lines, smoky-brown;—an antemedial line 
strongly outwardly oblique from costa to cell, then parallel to outer margin, a 
median line slightly less bent at costa and with faint incurve in submedian fold, 
a postmedial line subparallel to median line with a distinct incurve opposite 
cell, these three lines equidistant from one another on inner margin; a discal 
dot midway between lines 1 and 2; a faint broken marginal line preceding the 
white fringes. Secondaries of the same color as primaries, antemedian line 
absent, other lines present but not directly continuing those of primaries, ap- 
pearing on spread specimens to arise rather nearer base of wing; median line 
evenly curved, preceded by discal dot which at times is contiguous; postmedial 
line distinctly scalloped in central portion. Beneath white, with the basal portion 
of costa of primaries pinkish, much more distinct in @; primaries with discal 
dot and faint indication of postmedial line of upper-side, formed by dots on the 
veins ; indistinct terminal broken line on both wings. Expanse ¢ 19 mm; @ 
21-25 mm. ; : 
Hasirat. San Benito, Texas (Mch.-May) (G. Dorner); Brownsville, 
Tex. (Nov. 21). 3 6,9 9%. Types, Coll. Barnes. 
Hulst’s generic definition calls for no median spurs in hind tibae 
of 2; our ¢’s of hepaticaria Gn. the type species, possess however 
both pairs of spurs; the same is true of the ?’s of the present species ; 
the g antennae of our species are not so lengthily pectinated as in 
the ¢’s of hepaticaria and the hind legs less aborted, the tibiae having 
a tuft of hair on inner side. In venation the two species agree, two 
accessory cells being present in both cases, 8, 9 and 10 of primaries 
on long stalk and 6 and 7 of secondaries shortly stalked. We prefer 
to place the species in this genus rather than create a new genus based 
on 6 characteristics only. 
SCELOLOPHIA? DorNERARIA sp. nov. (PI. VIII, Fig. 9). 
@. Palpi ochreous; front and collar brown, slightly bronzed, with a 
white line joining the bases of the antennae; thorax and wings opalescent white, 
latter more or less heavily sprinkled with brown scales; costal margin of pri- 
maries broadly brown, narrowing towards apex; an antemedial brown line, 
bent at almost right angles below costa, a slightly waved median brown line, in
