— 
long scaled beneath and on end, short scaled above, reaching to the thorax. Wings 
without fold or vitrifaction. Tarsi all spinulated. Epiphysis prominent. Hind legs 
with end pair of spurs only in cj’, both end and middle pair in ©. Genitalia normal. 
Abdomen tufted laterally on ante- and penultimate segments in <j’. Venation— Fore 
wings 12 veins. Vein 1 bent, not furcate; 4 and 5 short stemmed ; 6 stemmed at 
base with 7, 8 and g; 10 and 11 separate. Hind wings 8 veins ; 3 separate ; 4 and 
5 stemmed ; 6 and 7 stemmed ; 8 joined with 7 beyond point where 6 separates. Cell 
longer than usual, nearly or quite 1/, wing. 
I use this name as a generic name, following the example of Mr. 
Ragonot in some of his diagnoses of the Phycitid@e, and as well my own 
previous custom, It seems to me as appropriate under any circum- 
stances to give insects the names of our N. A. Indian Tribes, as to give 
them the names of the ancient tribes and cities of Greece or Rome, and 
far more appropriate in case of N. A. Insects. And it also seems to me to 
be at least as appropriate to give these, as to give sesquipedalian polysyl- 
labics, manufactured from words which the Greeks ought to have had in 
their language, if, as in many instances, they did not. It seems a 
pleasant fancy to see the spirits of the ancient dwellers of the American 
forests and plains still wandering in ‘‘night’s shades,” in the moths, the 
phantoms of the forest, mountain, and glen. 
The armature of the hind tibiz of this genus is remarkable, and at 
the writing of what was published last month had not yet been noticed. 
My number of specimens is small, and I can not further verify my ob- 
servations, and I would hardly assert the facts were it not that in Caco- 
zelia the upper pair of spurs is almost obsolete, and in the next genus 
Yuma the upper pair of spurs is certainly wanting. 
O. lunulalis, Hulst, (Zorzpalpus), Ento. Am., III, 130, 1887. 
Expands, 22 to 25 mm. Head and color yellowish brown, strongly washed with 
violet. Palpi brownish gray or yellowish gray in front, strong, recurved over head, 
scale tufted at end of second member, end member fine, distinct. Maxillary palpi very 
small, the end member set on the side but near the summit of the member next below, 
all invisible under ordinary observation. Ocelli very distinct. Antennal process 
short. Front of head rather heavily scaled, collar also run in somewhat of a ridge. 
Thorax dark fuscous. Abdomen light fuscous, the segments ringed with dark fuscous, 
extremity tufted in <j’ with lateral tufts on 2 segments preceding anal segment. Fore 
wings much rounded at apex, generally light even blue gray in color with a strong 
shading of fuscous on basal and outer fields. A dark broken cross line close to base 
not always distinct ; near the outer edge of the field a dark line consisting of length- 
ened and raised scales, and extending quite across the wing. The line limiting the 
field is very indistinct and is evidenced rather by its hardly distinct shade lines. Middle 
field with three raised scale tufts, one discal small, the second extra-discal, more pro- 
minent and lengthened, the latter shaded outwardly, with fuscous, and a third near 
center of the field one-third from inner margin, black. Outer line quite distinct near 
costa, becoming obsolete posteriorly, shaded as usual, this shading being broad and 
diffuse near costa and outwardly occupying the whole apical space. The outer line 
forms a large sinus from the costa, aad this with the shading and posterior obsoles-
