pencil of hair, beyond the discal cell, is apparently different in cliar- 

 acter from the costal ornamentation of the Asiatic Crocidolornia. 



Condylolomia participialisj Grote. 



$ . — The fore wiugs are smooth, dark ochrey yellow, more or less washed 

 and shaded with vinous red, especially terminally. There is no perceptible 

 ornamentation except an outer transverse even slightly arcuate pale shade 

 line with a preceding reddish stain. Hind wings dark fuscous, a little pale 

 at costa. The fringes are rather long, glistening, dark reddish on primaries, 

 pale fuscous on the hind wings. Beneath paler, testaceous with obscure red- 

 dish shadings. Primaries the darker, with a transverse line at 3^, followed 

 by a pale outward shading and corresponds with that on the upper surface. 

 Hind wings pale yellowish, with the inception of a transverse shade marks 

 on costa. Abdomen above fuscous, the prominent anal tuft and uuder-surface 

 yellowish. Legs dusty yellowish ; middle and fore tibia reddish outwardly. 

 Thorax and head above like the primaries. 



Expanse, 14 m. m. Halitat, Pennsylvania (Xo. 8). 



Deuterollyta borealis, Grote. 



$ . — From the base of the antennae two long scaled processes extend back- 

 wards over and close to the thoracic surface, reaching to the mesothorax, and 

 resembling in position the palpi of Anaphora. Labial palpi exceeding the 

 head, third joint long and pointed ; maxillary palpi present, very short. Fore 

 wings dusty yellowish gray with powdery black lines. Liner middle line 

 determinate on costa, irregular. A black discal dot inside of the narrow me- 

 dian shade. Outer middle line irregularly denticulate, produced about vein 

 4, thence running inwardly below vein 3, whence it descends very slightly 

 outwardly projected to internal margin. Terminal field wide ; a wide black- 

 ish terminal shade band, tinged with brown, notably so at about internal 

 angle. A terminal series of well-marked interspaceal blackish marks, becom- 

 ing continuous inferiorly ; fringes whitish. Hind wings fuscous, the veins 

 darker marked ; a discal dot very near the base and costal border ; a terminal 

 strongly marked line ; fringes whitish. Beneath pale yellowish gray ; a com- 

 mon line and discal dots ; the marginal shade band less prominent. Thorax 

 and head above like primaries. Legs concolorus ; tibiae marked outwardly 

 with black. 



From Cambridge, Mass. Collected by J. C. Merrill (^N^o. 9). 

 Expanse, 20 m. m. Kindly determined as D. conspicualis, Led. 

 (from Brazil), on Lederer's authority, for me, by Prof. Zeller, but 

 differing decidedly by the greater width of the terminal spaces on 

 both surfaces, the irregularly denticulated exterior lines which are 

 more inwardly placed, the smaller size and paler color.
