CHRYSAUGINAE 
Genus GALASA WIk. 
If Hampson’s figure and description of the venation of this genus 
(Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1897, p. 674-5) be correct we have grave 
doubts as to whether the name Galasa rubidana Wk. will apply to our 
N. American species. The species rubidana was described from 
Jamaica, and Cordylopeza nigrinodis Zell. (1873, Verh. Z. B. Ges. 
Wien. p. 206), described from Massachusetts, is listed by both Hamp- 
son and Dyar (Bull. 52 U. S. N. M. gor) as a synonym. We have 
examined the venation of a series of both ¢’s and 9’s of our N. Am. 
form and find that what may be called the normal venation of prima- 
ries is as follows, just as stated by Ragonot (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1891, 
p. 508): 3 veins 2 and 3 on very long stalk, 4, 5 from a point at 
angle of cell, 6 from upper angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 9 on slight stalk or 
connate with 7 and 8, 10 and 11 absent. @ ; differs from ¢ in that 
7,8 and g are on longer stalk and 10 is usually present from just before 
angel of cell (in some specimens 10 is merely rudimentary and may 
even be absent). This would practically correspond with Zeller’s 
figure of the venation of Cordylopeza and we consider it the safer 
course to refer to our common N. Am. species as Cordylopeza nigrin- 
odis Zell. until our colleagues in the British Museum can verify Hamp- 
son’s figure by an examination of the type specimen of rubidana. 
Certainly Walker’s description is unrecognizable. 
We have before us a closely related species from Arizona which 
we characterize as follows: 
CoRDYLOPEZA NIGRIPUNCTALIs sp. nov. (Pl. IX, Figs. 5, 6). 
&. Palpi, head and tegulae ochreous, suffused ; with red, abdomen 
ochreous, banded with smoky; thorax and primaries red, latter heavily sprinkled 
with ochreous scales; costal margin twice indented, this portion of the wing 
being more or less suffused with black scaling; t. a. line arising from first sinus, 
pale ochreous, heaviest at costa, slightly irregular in outline but not distinctly 
dentate, nearly straight in general course; t. p. line arising from second costal 
sinus, pale ochreous, strongly bent outward below costa and then parallel to 
outer margin; veins beyond it marked with black dots; veins of median area also 
more or less marked with black; a terminal row of prominent black dots, fringes 
purplish; secondaries pale ochreous, with dark, slightly broken terminal line
