species bears considerable resemblance to forms of torlricbni or inodcs- 

 ia with obsolescent maculation, is, however, broader winged and with 

 the frontal prominence not so well developed. 



Bleptina sanuamonia sp. nov. ( I'lale II, lig. i8.) 



S- Palpi pale ochreous sprinkled with black; thorax and primaries 

 purplish; maculation rather diffuse and indistinct: t. a. line outwardly oblique, 

 smoky-brown, irregularly and sliKbtly waved; orbicular small, ronnd, deep 

 purple-brown with yellow central dot; rcniform indistinctly outlined, broader 

 basally, filled with purple-brown, slightly paler centrally, with black dot in 

 lower portion ; faint dark median shade, t. p. line somewhat paler than ground 

 color of wing preceded by a diffuse smoky shade, angled outwardly below costa, 

 incurved opposite cell, strongly bent inward on vein 2; s. t. line pale, shaded 

 evenly on inner side with purple-brown, irregular in outhne, straight below 

 costa, slightly bent inwards opposite cell, curving outwards across veins 3 and 4 

 and strongly bent inwards in submedian fold ; terminal area slightly shaded 

 with purple-brown ; terminal row of black dots ; fringes concolorous with the 

 primaries. Secondaries deep smoky-brown with the faintest traces of a pale 

 subterminal line near anal angle ; terminal row of dark spots and paler fringes. 

 Beneath primaries smoky vnth paler fringes and small discal dot ; secondaries 

 ochreous basally with prominent discal spot and indistinct dark, postmedian 

 and subterminal lines ; fringes pale smoky. Expanse, 24 mm. 



Habitat: — Decatur, 111. ( May S-15). i S. Type, Coll. ISarncs. 



The species differs from any described forms of Bleptina in the 

 strongly irregular and waved t. p. and s. t. lines with the prominent 

 incurve on the submedian fold. It was taken at light and is in excel- 

 lent condition. 



Renia sup.terminai.is sp. nov. (Plate II, fig. 21.) 



Head and thorax ochreous-brown ; primaries deep purple-brown slightly 

 overlaid with ochreous-brown scaling, especially in basal half; with the excep- 

 tion of the s. t. line all maculation scarcely visible ; t. a. line an even black 

 shade-line very slightly oblique outwardly; orbicular and reniforni small, poor- 

 ly defined, ochreous, latter with a dark central line ; median shade narrow, black, 

 straight below costa, bent outward slightly below cubital vein ; t. p. line black, 

 shortly outcurved below costa, then slightly waved but straight across the wing 

 in course ; s. t. line prominent, broad, deep yellow shaded outwardly narrowly 

 with deep brown, almost rigidly straight from costa before apex to inner angle 

 very slightly bent outward between veins 2 and 5 ; a terminal rov,; of dark 

 lunules ; fringes dark, paler outwardly and with a pale broken basal line. Sec- 

 ondaries almost uniform deep smoky, with faint traces of a pale submarginal 

 line; fringes smoky with pale broken basal line. Rcncath primaries smoky
