222 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 
Early stages unknown. 
On Packard's Amuemoriía, see our note under C/teteoscelis. As the type specimen has four spurs it 
may agree with the present genus, but the forewing venation is different, and altogether the probabilities 
are so strongly against the union that we have no alternative but to erect a new genus. 
Type of the genus : Merochlora faseolaria (Guenée) — Nemoria (?) faseolaria, Guenée.

Anomphax. Warren, Novit. Zool. Vol. 16, p. 74 (1999). 
Characters. — lace smooth. Palpus in both sexes very short, slender, third joint small, 
pointed. Tongue rudimentary. Antenna rather short, in both sexes bipectinate almost to apex, the 
branches long in cf, moderate in Q. Pectus somewhat hairy. Femora glabrous. Hindtibia in cf not 
dilated, in both sexes with terminal spurs only. Abdomen not crested. Forewing with costa arched, apex 
moderately sharp, termen nearly straight, oblique, especially in cf, cell fully one-half, DC? strongly 
inbent, SC! shortly anastomosing or connected by short bar with C, SC? normal, anastomosing shortly 
with SC!, R! connate or short. stalked, R? from much above middle of DC, M! separate; hindwing with 
costa rather long, apex rounded, termen little convex, tornus rather pronounced, cell one-half, DC? in- 
curved, C closely approximated to cell to one-half or slightly more, not rapidly diverging, SC? stalked, 
R? from much above middle of DC, M! separate. 
LaRA. — Slender, firm, twig-like, head (and doubtless prothorax) with anterior bifid pointed 
projection. (Izquierdo, An. Univ. Chile, Vol. 53, p. 815, t. 3, f. 12.) 
Pupa. — Green at first, becoming whitish; changes among leaves without making cocoon. 
(Izquierdo, loc. cit.) 
Likely related to the previous genus; more specialized in most characters, but without the 
anastomosis of C of the hindwing. 
Type of the genus : Anomphax gnoma (Butler) — Omphax gnoma, Butler (1909).

1) Merochlora eutraphes, nov. sp. — Q, 32 mm. Very like /aseo/aria, agreeing in structure (termen of forewing perhaps slightly, but 
scarcely appreciably more oblique), but differing as follows : size considerably larger, palpus green, whitish beneath, only tipped with reddish; vertex 
without red line behind the white fillet; costal edge of forewing narrowly white (green at base), not red. The type specimen, in very good condition, is 
unfortunately somewhat faded in relaxing, but Mr. J. A. Grossbeck (to whose generosity we owe the specimen, and who possesses cotypes) informs us that 
the correct colour of the forewing isa clear, pale pea-green. Stockton, Utah, 2 August, 1907 (T. Spalding). Type in coll. L. B. Prout. SCt of forewing 
anastomoses at a point with C.
