although there is an excavation on the liiabns as well as the 

 tubular lobe at the bu^e. In the outline of the winir these 

 threo s)3ecios a^^roe with Ci/molumia^ LI., rather tiwm with 

 iflethreutes, which possesses the lube without any excavation 

 of the linibus, but lh(! American species differ from Cijmo- 

 /omia in the tubular structure of the lobe. Thus we have in 

 this group four published genera, which can be distinguished 

 by structural ditterences : — 



1. EcCOPSIS, Z. — Linibus rolled at base, without lobe, with 



strongly angular limbal excavation and deep dorsal 

 excavation beyond the Hexus. 



2. EXAUTEMA, Clem. — With partially free tubular lobe from 



base of limbus, moderately excised limbal margirj, and 

 excised dorsum beyond the flexus. 



3. Cymolomia, Ld. — Linibus rolled at the base, without free 



lobe ; limbus excised, dorsum not noticeably excised. 



4. Olethkeutes, lib. — Linibus rolled, with slightly deve- 



loped lobe ; limbus and dorsum not excised.

AntenncB cinereous, basal joint yellow-ochreous. Fa^pi 

 pale whitish ochreous, shaded externally with fuscous. Head 

 yellow-ochreous, shaded with fuscous. Thorax bright yellow- 

 ochreous, mottled with fuscous. Fore wings briglit yellow- 

 ochreous, reticulated on the basal half and deeply suffused 

 on the outer half with blackish fuscous, and with numerous 

 spots and short cross-bars of bright shining steel-blue ; the 

 spots for the most part being evenly distributed over the 

 basal half, and with three bars and some spots on the outer 

 half, die below the termen at the commencement of the 

 apical third, one above the tornus, and one within and below 

 the apex, the two outer moderately straight, the inner slightly 

 oblique, except where the deep outer shade touches the costa 

 immediately beyond the middle; the edges of the wing are 

 uniformly briglit yellow-ochreous, mottled and spotted with 

 dark fuscous; cilia greyish fuscous, with a broad pale whitish 

 ochreous interruption below the apex, a black line along their 

 base. Fxp. al. 19-20 mm. Hind wings dark brown ; cilia 

 pale whitish ochreous, a dark line running through them 

 near their base. Abdomen brownish. Legs grey.

This species has a very rudimentary excrescence near the 

 base of tlie limbus of the hind wings, scarcely more than a 

 thickening of the cuticle on the margin itself, in this respect
