genera Acrolophus and Anaphora. 163 



from Morrison from North Carolina ; in all twenty-two 

 males and one female, including those from the Zeller 

 cabinet. A female in the British Museum, in Grote's 

 collection, measures 38 mm., and in colour and markings 

 resembles the typical form of the male. 



Anaphora ornata, n. s. (PI. VIII., fig. 16). 



Palpi recurved, reaching nearly to the posterior margin of the 

 thorax ; grejnsh fuscous, having a speckled appearance owing to 

 the scales being tipped with dirty whitish. Head and thorax of 

 the same colour as the palpi. Antennce dull ochreous, stout, and 

 strongly serrated. Fore wings brownish fuscous, blotched with 

 whitish ochreous, especially upon and below the fold; slightly 

 beyond the middle of the fold is a conspicuous quadrangular dark 

 fuscous patch, its upper edge blending with the ground colour of 

 the wing above it, its lower edge straight and clearly defined ; 

 between this patch and the base of the wing is a smaller dark spot 

 of the same colour, the dorsal margin below the pale ochreous 

 fold is shaded with brownish fuscous, and some small dark spots 

 are evenly distributed along the costal margin ; a small ill-defined 

 pale ochreous patch beyond the outer edge of the cell ; the whitish 

 ochreous colour of the fold extends in an undulating line above it 

 before and after the quadrangular dark patch ; apical vein not 

 forked. Hind wings brown; fringes the same. Abdomen greyish 

 fuscous ; the anal appendages are very peculiar : lateral claspers 

 spoon-shaped and evenly rounded at the ends, tending slightly 

 upwards ; the uncus double, curved over, with the points con- 

 verging at the apex ; two supplementary lateral processes extend 

 from the margin of the penultimate segment, and are of even 

 width, but slightly turned up at the ends, reaching to half the 

 length of the uncus. Exp. al. 25 mm. 



A single male in Zeller's collection, taken by Baron 

 von Nolcken probably in Columbia, but no locality is 

 marked on the specimen. I have received from Mons. 

 Ragonot for examination a specimen from Buenos Ayres, 

 which has a somewhat similar pattern of colouring on 

 the fore wings, but differs completely in the form of the 

 anal appendages. 



Anaphora uncigera, n. s. (PL VIII., fig. 17). 

 Palpi overarching thorax and reaching to posterior margin. 

 Antenna: pale brownish, strongly serrated. Head, thorax, and
