 Genus Toronia n. Gen. (Type perplexus N. & D.) 



Palpi upturned, adhering closely to front, antennae strongly bipectinate in 

 S , slightly so in 9 ; vestiture of thorax composed of fine scales ; primaries, Ri 

 from middle of cell. Rj and Rj from apex of areole R. and Rj slightly stalked, 

 Ml from lower angle of areole, M: and Ms from cellula intrusa, Cui from angle 

 of cell, Cu: removed from base, ist and 2nd anal veins free; secondaries, S. C. 

 free, R. and Mi from a point or stalked, Mj from close to Ma ; cellula intrusa 

 on primaries only ; frenulum somewhat reduced, but present. 



The hind tibiae are unfortunately lacking in our specimens both 

 of perplexus and luzcna Barnes, which we place in same genus; the 

 antennae of this latter species, of which we have only seen 9 9 , are 

 lamellate rather than pectinate, but the venation shows such similarity 

 that we have included it for the present at least with perplexus N. & D. 



This genus agrees in venation with Endagria B. (Type E. ulula.). 

 The long hairy vestiture on thorax and abdomen in this latter species 

 would, however, separate it from our genus.

"Head, thorax, primaries and fringes silky gray, the latter with black shades 

 at base ; central part of thorax dusted with russet grains. Black collar line and 

 black edges to patagia. Black maculations of primaries minutely reticulate. Two 

 prominent transverse lines, the inner line forking between vein i and inner mar- 

 gin, the outer line having two prominent forks, the upper one dividing between 

 first subcostal vein and costa, thus enclosing a subtriangular space between cen- 

 ter of costa and apex ; the lower one, of smaller dimensions, forking at angle. 



Secondaries of a uniform light grayish, silken gloss. Abdomen of darker 

 gray, especially near basal part, hairy, of silken gloss, and slender. Palpi and 

 legs of same color. Below as above, the reticulations of primaries and the 

 transverse lines fainter, with whitish fringes along inner margin. Expanse 33 

 mm. Length of body 13 mm. 



Hab., Colorado, i S in collection of Mr. B. Xeumoegen." 



On the specimens examined by ourselves the russet dusting of the 

 thorax is very prominent and the inner of the two transverse black 

 bands shows distinct russet shading towards the inner margin ; the 

 two black bands vary considerably as regards the point of furcation ; 

 the inner line in one specimen shows traces of a fork from vein Cu_, 

 to outer line on costa. The 9 is considerably larger than the 5 , ex- 

 panding 53 mm; the russet shading of primaries is more extended,
