1. SYMMOCA Hiibner 

 (CEgoconia Stainton) 



No ocelli; head normal; antennae subserrate; palpi with second segment long; 

 smoothly but densely scaled below; third long, thin, and acute; wing form about 

 like that of (Ecophora, but hind wing very slightly trapezoidal; fore wing with 

 R 5 , in our species, running to costa, CUj and Cu 2 free in the American species; 

 hind wing as wide as fore wing, R and M t stalked, in 8. novimundi, halfway to 

 apex; M a and CUi connate; 1st A distinct in both wings. Larvae hardly known, 

 apparently feeding on lichens. This is a primitive genus, transitional from the 

 (Ecophoridae, and by some authors associated with them. Our species is an 

 CEgoconia and very near to 8. (CE.) quadripuncta Haworth. 



1. S. novimundi Busck. Dark fuscous; second joint of palpus dark brown, with 

 yellow inner side and apex; extreme tip of third ochreous. Face, tips of tegulae, 

 and two small posterior dots on thorax, ochreous. Fore wing with three ochreous 

 costal spots, the one at end of cell largest; sometimes these spots are lengthened 

 into irregular bands, and sometimes there is a fourth on inner margin opposite the 

 last costal. Hind wing and anal tuft lighter. 1213 mm. 



August and September. 



Montclair, New Jersey; Roxborough, Pennsylvania.
