PTEROPHORINAE 
PLATYPTILIA CRENULATA sp. nov. (PI. III, Fig. 8). 
Primaries reddish fawn-color, lobes shaded with smoky and crossed by 
a distinct pale line 2/3 from base of incision; preceding this line on the upper 
lobe is a distinct black dash in central portion and dark costal shading; just 
beyond base of the incision is a large smoky triangular patch on costa extend- 
ing downward slightly beyond incision; 1/2 way between base of wing and 
incision a black dot; a similar one on inner margin nearer base and a smaller 
dot at base of wing; costa slightly shaded with dusky, cut with ‘ochreous; 
apex of upper lobe pale, inner angle of lobe 1 and upper angle of lobe 2 with 
slight black streak; outer margin distinctly crenulate, the bulging portions 
marked with black, the incisions ochreous; beyond this the fringe is pale, 
unicolorous, slightly dotted with black along inner margin. Secondaries smoky 
with apical black scale patch on 3rd lobe and scattered black scales along inner 
margin to base of wing. Beneath as above but smoky in color. Abdomen and 
legs pale ochreous, latter slightly blackish at base of spurs. Expanse 12-14 mm. 
Hasirat. Ft. Myers, Fla. (May 1-7); Everglade, Fla. (Apr. 1-15); 
Chocoloskee, Fla. 11 specimens. Type, Coll. Barnes. 
This species would fall, according to Fernald’s table, near 
acanthodactyla Hbn. We found it fairly common along a roadside 
at Ft. Myers sitting on the stems of what Mr. Davis told us was a 
Eupatorium species, but which had frond-like leaves more like 
Euphorbia. 
PTEROPHORUS UNICOLOR sp. nov. (PI. I, Fig. 8). 
Primaries pale straw-color, immaculate, slightly tinged with smoky along 
terminal margins of lobes; first lobe pointed, second lobe rather broad with 
well defined upper angle. Secondaries pale smoky with lighter silky fringes. 
Beneath, smoky. Legs pale ochreous, first two pairs blackish inwardly. Ex- 
panse I4 mm. 
Hasitat. Marco, Fla. (Apr. 24-30). 1 9. Type, Coll. Barnes. 
From several larvae, found boring in the stems of the Eupatorium 
species above referred to, we succeeded in breeding this single 
specimen. 
PTEROPHORUS CERVINICOLOR sp. nov. (PI. IV, Fig. 10). 
Primaries with both lobes narrow, pointed and slightly downcurved at 
apex, deep grayish fawn-color, a slight sprinkling of blackish scales on inner 
margin 1/4 from base, forming a more or less obvious patch, a dark dot 1/2 
way between base of wing and incision; two slight black costal dashes near 
apex of wing and another on inner margin of Ist lobe near apex; extreme 
apex of both lobes tipped with black and fringe along inner margin of 2nd
