Ainolita fessa Grote. p 



$ . — Fore wings very pale straw color with concolorou.s fringes, the veins 

 not marked and without other ornamentation than two diffuse dull reddish 

 shades, the first of which runs from the base of the wing over the median 

 nervure and ascends beyond the cell to apices ; the second runs obliquely from 

 about the middle of internal margin to below the apices on external margin, 

 its origin not well defined. A reddish dot in the place of the reniform. Hind 

 wings whitish without markings ; beneath whiti.sh, immaculate. Body parts 

 pale, coucolorous. 



Expanse, 30 m. m. ; breadth of iirimaru, G m. m. 



A specimen from New York with the number 536, received from 

 Mr. E. L. Graef. The genus may be entered on the " List," between 

 Doryodes and Senta, on page 20. 



Heliopliila adjuta Orote. 



$, . — Closely allied to U.phragmitidicola ; the iora wings are purely obscure 

 straw color, like those of II. 2Xillens, without rosy tints. No traces of the lines ; 

 a black dot on the cell in the pl-ace of the reniform. A darker shading below 

 the median vein, vaguely ascending beyond to external margin below the 

 apices. T. p. line indicated by an obsolete series of black dots of which only 

 two or three, wide apart, are perceptible. Collar distinctly double lined. Hind 

 wings pale straw color with soiled veins and a tolerably broad fuscous termi- 

 nal band, entirely wanting in this sex of H. phragmitidicola. Beneath, on the 

 costa, is a distinct black dot and a succession of marks on the veins shows the 

 transverse line. In the strongest marked specimens of its ally the line is only 

 indicated by a faint shaded dot on costa and usually this is entirely wanting. 

 A series of terminal black points on both wings beneath. Collar with double 

 lines ; body more yellowish than in its ally with a fuscous shading on the ab- 

 domen dorsally.

Tliis form can be separated from H. plira(jmit\dlcola, by tlie cliar- 

 acter of the hind wings and by the general richer more yellow col- 

 oring. The type is in the collection of this Society.
