Homohadeua badistriga. 



Hadena hadistriga, Grote, Traus. Am. Eut. Soc, p. 20, 1873. 

 Albaii}^ (Liiitner) ; New York (Grote) ; London, Canada (Saun- 

 ders). Larva on tlie common Honeysnckle (Lonicera sempervirens); 

 chrysalis in a tolerably firm cocoonet. At the time I originally 

 described the sj^ecies, Mr. Lintner kindly drew my attention to the 

 fact, that I had wrongly described the eyes as hairy. 



Adipsophanes,^ n. g. 



Ocelli. Eyes naked, without lashea. No clypeal projection. All the 

 tibiae unarmed. Antennae of the usual {-.^ of the costal) length. Thoracic 

 vestiture smooth. Palpi equally thickly scaled, but very slightly exceeding 

 the front. Abdomen without tufts. Clypeus without tuft, closely, shortly 

 and thickly (contrastedly) scaled. Head not retracted. Legs smoothly scaled, 

 bat with longer sparse hair on the outer surface of the hind tibiae. Fore 

 wings with the external margin rounded, the long fringes projected very 

 slightly at internal angle. Vein 8 of the hind wings out of the upper margin 

 of the cell ; general habit recalling Caradrina. Antennae {$) simple, scaled 

 above, with exceedingly short and fine down beneath. Palpi thickly scaled, 

 third joint small, more closely scaled. Maxillae moderate. 



In using Lederer's analytical table we refer this moth as allied to 

 Stilbia, among the European genera, from which it differs by the 

 absence of secondary sexual disparities, the simple antennae, the 

 absence of a mesothoracic tuft and the contrastedly colored, close 

 velvety clypeal squamation (as compared with the j^aler and longer 

 scales of the vertex). The form is slender; wings elongate, pale 

 colored; ornamentation Leucania-like. It approaches in general 

 appearance and form very closely to Guenee's Cramhodes talidifor- 

 mis, but in that species the antennae are subpectinate, the clypeal 

 surface is not discriminated by its vestiture, the terminal palpal 

 joints are longer, more obtuse and broader. 



Adipsoplianes miscellus,^ Grote. 



S ? . — Fore wings pale brownish gray, with fine interrupted black lines on 

 the veins accompanied by narrow whitish shades. The usual ornamentation 

 obsolete. Terminal space darker tinted. An interrupted terminal blackish 

 line; the long pale brownish fringes cut with whitish opposite the veins. 

 Hind wings white, subtranslucent, with a brown line and pale brownish ter- 

 minal shade fading to anal angle, m ore obvious in ? ; fringes white. In the 

 9 there is an exceedingly slight indication of a transverse line from nervular
