Caloecia venerabilis H. Edw. 



Cloi'cria venerabilis H. Edwards, Papilio IV, io8 (1884) ; Dnice, Biol. Cent. Am. 

 1. 202 (1887) ; id. II, 428, PI. 85. fig. 7 (189-). 



We have a single $ specimen before ns which agrees fairly well 

 with Druce's figure. It appears distinct from the preceding species. 

 Early stages unknown. 



Habitat: — Mexico, Jalapa. 



Caloecia denda Druce. 



Eutricha denda Druce .■\nn. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) XIII, 180 (1S94) ; id. Biol. 

 Cent. Am. Het. II, 429, PI. 85, f. 10 (1897). 



A single specimen before us from Jalapa, Mex., (Coll. Schaus) 

 agrees well with Druce's figure. Early stages unknown. 



Habitat: — Mexico, Jalapa. 



GENUS QUADRINA Grt. (Type Q. diazoma Grt.) 



Qiiadrina Grote, Pap. I, 175 (1881) ; Smith Ent. Am. II, 124 (1886) ; Grote, Can. 

 Ent. XIX, 40 (1887,), Smith, Can. Ent., XIX, 100 (1887). 



Eyes large, prominent, very sparsely haired ; palpi stout, porrect or slightly 

 downcurved, projecting somewhat beyond front; antennae strongly bipectinate 

 in S , less so in 9 ; fore tibiae with large epiphysis in $ , lacking in 9 ; hind 

 tibiae with single pair of short spurs ; abdomen projecting beyond wings, in $ 

 with bushy tuft, squammation very hairy; se.xes similar except in size. Primar- 

 ies well rounded at apex and tornus ; outer margin slightly undulate ; vein Ri 

 from half way between base and apex of cell, R; and Ri stalked, latter terminat- 

 ing near apex, former on costal margin well separated from R:,; R, from before 

 apex of cell ; R5 and Mi connate or slightly stalked from apex ; M: and Ma 

 slightly separate from around lower angle of cell ; Cui from behind angle, Cu= 

 from a point opposite Ri ; traces of ist anal vein present. Secondaries with 

 very large intercostal cell with one or two spurs, giving rise to veins S. C. and 

 Ri ; Ml parallel to costal margin ; M2 and Ms connate from lower angle of cell ; 

 Cui from behind angle ; Cu= from central portion of ceil. 



The genus is a good one and may be at once separated from allied 

 genera by the position of veins R. and R., of primaries, the very large 

 intercostal cell and the fact that M^ and M^, of secondaries are from a 

 point and not stalked ; the large eyes alone will separate it from 

 Glmrria.
