T. robustella, Zeller, (Zefralopha), Isis, 881, 1848. Grote, 
(Zetralopha), Geol. Surv. Terr. Bull., 1V, 690, 1878. 
Head and thorax fuscous gray, abdomen yellowish. Fore wings cloudy fuscous 
gray with a slightly russet shading at times. Middle field lighter, just beyond basal 
line often light gray. A cross band of larger scales on basal field rising into a black 
tufting near middle. Another near middle of middle field, often forming a dentate 
black line, sometimes only scattered black dots, this scale ridge also with 2 or 3 tuft- 
ings. Outer line quite even, strongly bent. Hind wings light pellucid fuscous, outer 
line evident darker fuscous. Expands 18 to 25 mm. 
Central Texas, August. I have not been able to examine the 
venation of this insect but have litle doubt it belongs to Lanthaphe 
rather than Zefralopha. As determining TZe/ralopha 1 take the first 
species described under it, viz: mz/itella, Zell., as the type of the genus.

Bull., IV, 689, 1878. 
Head and thorax fuscous gray. Fore wings with very convex fore margin,

spot surmounted with a black scale tuft ; generally also a russet shading at posterior 
angle. Hind wings dull fuscous. Abdomen yellowish fuscous, basal segment

ATTACAPA, gen. nov. 
(Attacapa, a tribe of Indians of Louisiana and Texas). 
Very much as in 7zega, but the antennal process is entirely wanting, the basal 
member being merely swollen posteriorly. Venation—II veins; J as usual, but the 
inner median is very little swollen, and the vitreous spot almost or quite lost, I not 
furcate at base. ©, I not furcate, 3 separate, 4 and 5 long stemmed, 6, 7, 8 and 9 
stemmed. Hind wings, 3 at angle separate, 4 and 5 long stemmed, 6 at a point with 
7, 7 and 8 stemmed beyond, cell small. 
A. callipeplella, Hulst, (Zefralopha), Ento. Am., IV, 114,

Expands, 16mm. Palpi, head, antennz and thorax uneven fuscous gray ; fore 
wings gray, rather strongly overlaid with blackish, more especially on the basal
