difficult to do iimcli sound revisional work without larger 
material. 
My type $ Avas bred from a cocoon which Mr, W. M. 
Bayne found attached to the underside of a stone, and I 
believe a few of the other examples were obtained in the 
same manner. He notes that the moth sits Avith the 
Avings closed in a more or less Deltoid or Noctuid posture.

Cacbeuta, January 12, 1904 (W. M. Bayne). Type in 
coll. L. B. Front. 
A very distinct species. Frobably its palpus and other 
characters (wing-shape, etc.) are enough to indicate its 
generic distinctness from Salpis, yet it has also very much 
in common therewith, and especially Avith the subgenus 
Microdontop)era.

Face not protuberant, smoothly scaled ; palpus rather .short, por- 
rect, shortly rough-scaled ; tongue apparently Avanting; antenna
