84 REVISION OF XYLOMIGES AND MORRISONIA—SMITH. 
The genital characters of the male are much as in mucens ; but the 
clasper is very decidedly longer, and the little supplemental hook at 
base is different in shape. 
[This is the same as Xylophasia sectilis Gn.] 
Morrisonia infidelis Grt. 
1879. Grt., Can. Ent. x1, 206, Morrisonia. 
“4 Thisnameis based on a single male from Michigan, which is in good 
condition. Eyes hairy. Color of vomerina but more reddish brown. 
Collar pale and a pale spot at base of primaries; a black line edging 
the collar behind, thorax rich reddish brown. Costa paler at base, be- 
low median vein a rich red brown stain extends outwardly, suffusing 
the wing. Reniform L-shaped, the lower part open, brown filled, point- 
ing to base of wing. This is surmounted by the upright part of the spot, 
which is small. Orbicular small, oblique, lying over and touching the 
extension of the reniform. Tbe usual pale shade bordering vein 3; 
terminally the wing is a little darker. Hind wings pale fuscous with 
interlined white tipped fringes ; beneath reddish gray, with common line 
marked by black scales on the veins. Hxpanse,36 millimetres. Differs _ 
by the stigmata not being fused and pale, but finely ringed, separate 
and brown centered.” 
This species I have not seen. It is in none of the collections accessi- 
ble to me, and from the description is somewhat allied to peracuta. 
Morrisonia peracuta Morr. 
1874. Morr. Buff. Bull. 11, 114, Morrisonia. 
Ground color reddish gray, with paler and darker shadings. Collar 
with a distinct black transverse line, above which is an equally distinet 
white line. Patagie with a darker, submarginal line. Primaries with 
anarrow longitudinal black line at base, continued to the vague sug- 
gestion of a claviform. A blackish line along inner margin, nearly to 
middle. TT. p.linesingle, brown, very strongly dentate or rather jagged. 
Beyond this the wing is darker except at apex and inner margin, cut 
by prominent gray streaks on veins 3 and 4, and 7 and8, A brown 
shade through the cell, margined by a narrow superior black line, sur- 
mounted in turn by a whitish line which forms part of the defining 
marks of the small, confluent, flask shaped ordinary spots, which are 
incompletely outlined and with difficulty traceable. Secondaries dark, 
even smoky brown. Beneath dusky, primaries, dark on the disk, with 
a dusky margin. 
Expands 38 millimetres=1.52 inches. 
HABITAT: * Probably Texas, perhaps California. ” 
There are two female specimens in the National Museum (collection 
of C. V. R.), evidently of the specimens before Mr. Morrison when de- 
scribing, and marked “Type” by him. One of these has no locality 
label at all; the other is marked “ California.”
