 the Bulletin of the U. S. Geological and Geographical 8nrvey, 

 \\)1. IV, No. 3, pp. GGO — 705. I give here a Plate Avith the neura- 

 tion of representative N. Am. spesies of certain genera of Ujiipasrhuie 

 and Plvjddae. Those figures have heen previously published hy 

 nie and arc now in part slightly corrected and I have gone over the 

 ground, originally studied l)y myself for the paper above referi-ed to, 

 for the second time for the sake of obtaining greater accuracy in the 

 description of the neurational characters.

(Plate II, Fig. 1.) 



Fore-wings with vein 5 joined to 4 by a very short cross vein ; 8 

 out of 7 about a fourth from the origin of ; D out of 8, a very 

 short furcation; 1 sometimes (?) furcate at base ; 5 prolonged inwardly 

 l)eyond the point where the closure of the cell is indicated above 

 and below. Hind wings with vein 5 twice joined to 4 by a short 

 cross- vein. (The second cross- vein is accidentally omitted in the 

 figure ; it is plainly visible in my ])reparation; vein 1 is simple in 

 one preparation; Clemens makes it furcate as it seems to be in a 

 second example.

 IS'enration of Epipasrhin. but on primaries vein 1 is simple at 

 base; vein 5 is not inwardly prolonged and vein 8 is thrown oif 

 from 7 at alxnit one third from the origin of 6, a little nearer the 

 origin of H, which latter is longer, being here thrown off before the 

 ])oint of its origin in A'i>ij)<isrlii((. On secondaries vein .") is once 

 joined to 4 l)y a short cross-vein.
