rather sliort and weak, testaceous. Wings rather broad; fore wings acute with 

 straight external margin. Thorax rounded in front ; abdomen proportioned, 

 without tufts. Tibiae non-spinose ; anterior pair slightly thickened. Ornamen- 

 tation Lucania-like. All lines and spots obsolete ; tints neutral ; with longitu- 

 dinal darker shades on the primaries, which, in A. Henrici, broadly contrast. 

 From all the genera allied to Leucania differing by the simple antennae. 



Ablephuron Henrici. 



Leucania Henrici, Grote, huj. scrip. 

 Habitat, Atlantic District (Buffalo, June, Mr. Zescli). 



Ablepliaron eyanida. 



Leucania evanida, Grote, huj. scrip. 

 Habitat, Atlantic District (New York). 



Ommatostola,^ n. g. 



Ocelli. Eyes naked, strongly lashed. Maxillae comparatively stout, corne- 

 ous, dark. Antennae scaled above, bristled beneath, with two more rigid 

 spinules on each joint. Robust, thickly haired ; thorax large, square in front 

 without tufts ; head prominent, eyes large. Wings elongate ; primaries with 

 straight costal and rounded external margin. 



The want of a clypeal projection separates both Ablepharon and 

 Ommatostola from Nonagria. From Leucania the naked eyes 

 separate our two new genera. From Tapinostola and Calamia the 

 lashes, very prominent in Ommatospila. The simple antennae 

 separate Ablepharon from any of the genera described by Lederer. 

 The present genus seems more nearly related to Tapinostola. In 

 ornamentation and size it approaches Calamia. 



Ommatostola Lintneri, Gr-ote. 



$ . — Size rather large ; body stout ; abdomen exceeding hind wings, of the 

 usual shape, not pointed, swelled or tufted ; thorax hairy ; eyes naked, strongly 

 lashed ; head large, not retracted ; antennae scaled above, bristled beneath. 

 Of the usual yellowish testaceous color ; fore wings with the external margin 

 rather full and rounded ; costal region shaded Avith white, and all the veins 

 more or less completely marked with white scales, interrupted with blackish ; 

 no markings visible except the t. p. line, which is well indicated by black dots
