Monocona rubralis, sp. n. 
Fore wing red, more or less hidden by a dark fuscous 
suffusion over the basal third, and sprinkled with whitish 
scales in the rest of the wing; a large oblique black spot at 
end of cell; fringe dark cinereous, with black basal line. 
Hind wing orange-red, fringe as in fore wing. Palpi mottled 
black and white ; head, thorax, and basal half of abdomen 
dark fuscous ; hinder half like hind wing. 
Expanse of wings 13 millim. 
Two females from California. 
This insect, in the Grote collection, bears the MS. name of 
Oribates Minzii, Hy. Edw.; but Oribates is already used in 
the Arachnide. It was placed by Grote among the smaller 
Noctuine, but it is indeed a true Pyralid, and related to 
Tegostoma and its allies. 
MIMOSCHINIA, gen. nov.

Type M. thalialis, Wik. (Botys), xviii. p. 582. 
The genus is intermediate between Anthophilodes, Guen., 
and Hmprepes, Led., the forehead not being bifid, as in the 
former, but prominently rounded, while in Emprepes it is 
nearly flat. It includes three American species—thalialis, 
Wik., nuchalis, Grote, and elautalis, Grote—all three of 
which mimic the markings of Hiibner’s Noctuid genus 
Schinia. 
Subfamily Prravsrivs.
