genera Acrotophus and Anaphora. 143 



three or four square patches, one before and one beyond the middle 

 of the dorsal margin, one about the middle of the costa, and one 

 at or just before the apex. These in some specimens are so 

 arranged as to form an indistinct chess-board pattern, the dark and 

 pale squares being alternate on the costal and dorsal halves of the 

 wing ; in some specimens the median costal and the antemedian 

 dorsal pale squares, which are always somewhat the more con- 

 spicuous, are joined in an angulated fascia. Abdomen with the 

 hind wings and their cilia dull brown. The first two pairs of legs 

 conspicuously spotted with brown and ochreous, the third pair 

 ochreous on the tibiae, spotted with brown on the tarsal joints. 

 Expanse, 15 to 20 mm., the female being larger than the male. 

 Texas." 



To this I may add that the thorax is crested posteriorly, the 

 uncus double with the points abruptly bent over, very closely 

 approximate, and laterally compressed or flattened ; the lateral 

 claspers of approximately even width throughout, the ends rather 

 square, but slightly oblique. 



Eulepiste maciilifer, n. s. (PI. VII. , figs, lc, Id). 



Labial palpi, $ , erect, the first joint thickly scaled beneath, the 

 second and third joints without distinct tufts, brownish fuscous, 

 paler on the inner sides and above. J porrect, the first and second 

 joints clothed with a coarse projecting tuft ; the third joint only 

 exposed, slender. Antennas brownish, having a spotted appear- 

 ance owing to thin lines of rather darker raised scales at the joints. 

 Head brownish fuscous, tufted above the eyes. Thorax and fore 

 ivings brownish fuscous, the latter mottled with dark ferruginous and 

 bearing a ding}' white spot on the outer half of the fold and a more 

 diffused and ill-defined patch of the same colour on the apical 

 portion of the wing ; there are some dull whitish markings in the 

 cilia and before the anal angle ; along the costa the brownish 

 fuscous colouring is interrupted by paler and more greyish fuscous 

 before and beyond the middle. Hind ivings brownish. Abdomen 

 and hind legs the same ; tarsal joints spotted with fuscous; uncus 

 slightly bent over, double, the points closely approximate ; lateral 

 claspers elongate, attenuated posteriorly, oblique at the ends, 

 their upper extremity rather pointed. Exp. al. $ , 20 mm ; J , 

 20—24 mm.
