moved, costal and subcostal veins anastomosing at base. The fringes are short; 

 internal margin lengthily haired ; alar squamation dense. The species is 

 broad-winged, stout, allied to Panopoda, Guenee, and Pleonectyptera, Grote. 

 The whole insect is dyed of a pale vermillion, darker, shaded with yellowish 

 above, and in its bright colors recalls both Pleonectyptera and the Geometri- 

 dae ; the usual lines and spots are absent. It has something of the compact 

 appearance of Pseudophia. 



I name the genus after Dr. Leon F. Harvey, Secretary of this 

 Society, whose devotion to science and personal amiability merit 

 tlie only recognition it is in my power to bestow. 



Harveya auripeiinis, Grote. 



$ . — The whole insect is pale vermillion wdth an orange cast, shaded above 

 with dead buif or yellowish. The lines are obsolete on the fore wings above. 

 The transverse anterior line is merely indicated by two or three geminate, white 

 and black scale points. The transverse posterior line is pale, even, nearly per- 

 pendicular, angulated opposite the cell, thence running inwardly obliquely to 

 internal margin ; it is marked by black and white scale points on the veins ; 

 the line appears as a narrow yellowish thread-like shade, removed towards 

 the external margin. The reniform is sometimes perceptible as a vague yellow- 

 ish mark, tolerably large and of the usual shape. Outside of this runs the pow- 

 dery black median shade, the most prominent marking of the wing, sometimes 

 obsolete superiorly, and appearing as a powdery black spot on internal margin, 

 near the base of the t. p. line. A series of interspaceal subterminal black 

 streaklets followed by white points sometimes faded out. There is a pale 

 faint pruinose shade over the wing subterminally, which spreads over the 

 concolorous hind wings, these latter show no other marks save a vague contin- 

 uation of the markings of the t. p. line. Beneath, body and wings brighter 

 than above, without markings, though a faint common line is indicated. 

 Terminal joint of palpi with blackish scales ; tarsi black ish ; legs white dotted 

 at the knees and base of the joints.
