JANUARY, 1862. 181 



the costal orange-yellow spot. Hind margin with a series of 

 steel-blue dots. Cilia brown. Hind-wings fuscous ; cilia a 

 little paler. 



Taken on wing 17th of July. 



SOLENOBIA? Zeller. 



In the hind-wings the costal vein is well developed and 

 placed close to the costa. The subcostal vein is simple, giving 

 rise near its middle to an angulated discal vein, which sends 

 off a branch to the margin beneath the tip and receives the 

 discal fold at its angle. The median subdivides into four 

 branches, the two superior branches having a common origin, 

 the others short and equi-distant. 



The subcostal vein of the fore-wings sends off a long, decided 

 marginal branch from the basal third; about the middle of 

 the wing forms a long, rather large secondary cell, from the 

 hinder end of which arise two marginal branches, and from 

 the point where the lower branch of the secondary cell enters 

 the discal two other branches arise diverging from their origin, 

 one to be delivered above and the other beneath the tip. 

 Opposite the discal fold arises another branch, running to the 

 margin beneath the tip, and the median vein subdivides into 

 three nearly equi-distant, short branches, the posterior of 

 which is nearly perpendicular to the inner margin. The sub- 

 median is short and furcate towards the base for half its length. 



Head hairy above and in front; without oceUi. Eyes 

 small, spherical, slightly naked above. Cephalic stigmata very 

 large and distinct. Antennae setaceous, scaly and tufted 

 slightly above towards the end, ciliated beneath. Maxillary 

 palpi, labial palpi and tongue undeveloped. 



S.? Walshella. Head and face dark gray. Antennae 

 dark gray, slightly spotted with white. Fore-wings pale 

 gray, varied with fuscous sprinkled over the surface, without 

 defined markings, except along the costa near the tip, where 

 there are a few pale gray or whitish spots. Cilia gray. 

 Hind-wings gray.
