NOLIDAE 
CELAMA OBLIQUATA sp. nov. (PI. I, Fig. 2). 
Q. Dull gray, primaries crossed by two inwardly oblique parallel smoky 
lines, the inner rigid, the outer punctiform on the veins and very slightly ex- 
serted opposite cell; a pale waved s. t. line, incurved opposite cell and in sub- 
median fold; terminal row of black dots. Secondaries smoky, whitish towards 
base. Beneath, smoky, secondaries pale at base. Expanse 16 mm. 
Hasitat. Everglade, Fla. (Apr. 16-23). 1 9. Type, Coll. Barnes. 
The course of the t. p. line readily distinguishes this species from 
other N. Am. forms. 
NOCTUIDAE 
ACIDALIODES EOIDES sp. nov. (PI. III, Fig. 1). 
9. Head, thorax and primaries light fawn brown, latter with the macula- 
tion rather indistinct; t. a. line scarcely traceable, indicated by slight smoky 
scales, apparently bent outward from costa to below cell and then strongly 
inwardly oblique to inner margin near base; orbicular indicated by a minute 
dark dot with slight dark scaling above it on costa; reniform a small black 
blotch overlaid with paler scales; t. p. line distinct in lower half and strongly 
oblique inwardly to middle of inner margin, upper half obscure, apparently 
nearly perpendicular to costa, this line followed by a slightly paler shade than 
the ground color; s. t. line pale, wavy, parallel to t. p. line, defined outwardly, 
especially opposite cell, by smoky shading; distinct terminal row of dots; 
fringes concolorous, sprinkled outwardly with dusky. Secondaries similar to 
primaries in color and markings, but these latter so indistinct as scarcely to 
be noticed, leaving merely a slightly mottled appearance; terminal black dots 
distinct. Beneath pale smoky, silky, primaries rather darker than secondaries. 
Expanse 12 mm. 
Hapsitat. Everglade, Fla. 1 9. Type, Coll. Barnes. 
Agrees exactly with Hampson’s definition of Acidaliodes (Lep. 
Phal. Brit. Mus. X, 17) except that no tufts are visible on abdomen; 
the species has a marked resemblance to a small Eoid, but must be 
precluded from association with the Geometridae as vein 5 of pri- 
maries is distinctly nearer 4 than 6.
