Choeyliora Grote and Robinson. 



With this genus I am now disposed to unite Pseudorthosia. In 

 both the tibiae are spinose, and the naked eyes are lashed. The 

 color and habitus and ornamentation are those of the group of 

 which Ortliosia and Glaea are representative genera. 0. variabilis 

 Grote, is represented in Mr. Edwards' collection. C. pectinata, 

 Grote, is known from Colorado (Mr. Mead), and has fuscous hind 

 wings. C. fnngorum G. S R., the type, from the East, is of a red- 

 dish fawn color, and is distinguishable by the quadrate red spot on 

 the primaries between the obsolete stigmata. Mr. Edwards' collec- 

 tion contains two specimens (wanting antennae) from Washington 

 Territory (No. 4177) and Vancouver Island (No. 4425), while suffi- 

 ciently indicating a new species more nearly allied io fungorum, but 

 differing by the absence of the quadrate spot on fore wings. The 

 antennae in Clioepliora are pectinate, most strongly so in C. fungo- 

 rum. The abdomen exceeds the hind wings and the genus differs 

 besides from Metalepsis by the more prominent head and spinose 

 fore tibiae. 



Choephora blanda n. s. 



Fore wings olive or yellowisli fawn; at first siglit the species looks like a 

 Olaea, the hind tibiae (all that I have been able to examine) are, however, 

 spinose as in the other species. Ornamentation simple; t. a. line sinuous, out- 

 wardly oblique; it is outwardly rounded over s. c. and m. veins, a little 

 notched on cell, inwardly rounded to vein 1, thence outwardly to internal margin 

 which it joins near the middle. Stigmata concolorous or a little darker than 

 the wing, pale ringed; orbicular small, oblique; reniform upright, squarish. 

 T. p. line evenly rounded; both lines blackish with pale linings. S. t. line 

 distinct, a chain of blackish marks. Hind wings silky reddish, concolorous, 

 with trace of median line; beneath, both wings reddish with common exterior 

 line. Thorax like fore wings; abdomen like hind wings, a little yellowish.

Cieophana eulepis n. s. 



9. — The antennae are simple, scaled above, pubescent beneath. The fore 

 tibiae have a short terminal claw ; the front bulges. Eyes naked and lashed ; 

 cjllar medially produced. The ornamentation resembles that of a Cundlia of 

 tXie scrophulnriae gvowT^. Whitish gray. Lines oblique, indistinct; stigmata 

 obsolete. A black streak runs from the t. p. line at submedian fold to the 

 exterior margin at vein 2. A terminal cuneiform black mark between veins 

 3 and 4. The t. p. line is geminate, whitish and black, and is noticeable 

 chiefly on costal and internal margins. Veins more or less marked with 

 black. A black streak on internal marjin between the transverse lines which are
