PSYCHE. 



[October 1S93. 



of the abdomen, and by a lateral row of simi- 

 lar spots on either side of the abdomen above 

 the spiracles. The pectus and legs and the 

 lower side of the abdomen are rich dark 

 brown. The tarsi are ringed with pale yel- 

 lowish. Upper side: The primaries are 

 olivaceous-gray, shading at the apex and on 

 the outer margin near the middle into pale 

 ochraceous. They are profusely sprinkled 

 with transverse linear greenish-gray striae. 

 There is an interrupted sub-basal line cross- 

 ing the lower end of the cell and curving 

 outwardly to near the middle of the inner 

 margin. This line is rich velvety black. 

 The outer angle and the apical third of the 

 wing are clouded with vandyke brown and 

 marked by exceedingly intricate black curved 

 zigzagged submarginal lines. The secon- 

 daries at the base and on the costa are van- 

 dyke brown, shading into pinkish near the 

 costa. The outer margin and the inner 

 margin are broadly vandyke brown marked 

 with a multitude of minute blackish striae 

 and spots. A zigzag black line runs from 

 the inner margin above the anal angle toward 

 the outer margin. On the under side, the 

 primaries have the base and the inner margin 

 broadly laved with pink; the costa, the 

 apical third, and the outer margin pale 

 fuliginous dotted and streaked with exceed- 

 ingly intricate spots and lines of blackish, 

 with two or three silvery white dots upon 

 the costa near the middle. The secondaries 

 have the same color and style of marking as 

 the apical third of the primaries. The gen- 

 eral effect of the marking and coloration 

 strongly suggests some forms of lichens, 

 hence, the specific name. Expanse, 58 to 65 

 mm. Habitat Kangwe and Benita. Taken 

 in the month of January. 



Mr. Kirby in his synonymical catalogue 

 refers Cyrtogone, Westw., to the Pinaridae, 

 but without propriety. I have carefully de- 

 nuded the wings of a specimen of the above 

 species, which I compared with the types 

 of the genus in the British Museum and 

 find the neuration to be strictly Saturniid. 



Westwood was right in his location of the 

 genus. It has nothing in common with 

 Pinara or Gonometa, the typical genera of 

 Mr. Kirby's group. 



ARBELIDAE. 



Lebedodes, gen. nov. 



Allied to Encatimaptera, Hpsn. The palpi 

 minute, porrect; antennae of male relatively 

 short, bipectinated to tips, the branches 

 gradually diminishing in length from the 

 base to the tip; legs hairy; tibiae with long 

 terminal spurs. Fore wings with veins 

 seven, eight, and nine stalked together. 

 Hind wings with no bar between vein seven 

 and eight; vein eight long running nearly 

 parallel to the costa as far as the apex; the 

 areole is divided in the middle by a narrow up- 

 right bar; veins three and four from the end 

 of the cell ; veins five and six from the upper 

 and lower angles of the areole. Type L. 

 cossula, Moll. 



XL-unition of L. cossula, Holl., rf j~ 



182. L. cossula, sp. nov. $ . Extremity of 

 abdomen projecting for half its length beyond 

 the inner margin of the secondaries. Front 

 and collar pale moose color; patagia dark 

 blackish-brown, margined internally by 

 mouse color; upper side of thorax mouse 

 color; upper side of abdomen mouse color 

 inclining towards the anal extremity to pale 

 ochraceous and ornamented on the dorsal 

 line immediately back of the metathorax by 

 a large patch of brown, or blackish hairs.
