Lithosiidae 



The species is common in Texas. C. fuscipes occurs in 

 Arizona.

One species is reckoned in this genus, the structural char- 

 acters of which are well shown in the cut we give.

bardi by Dyar seems to be 

 only a smaller form of B. 

 pulverina. 



Genus CLEMENSIA Packard 



To this genus Sir George F. Hampson refers a dozen species. 

 All of these are inhabitants of the hot lands of America, except 

 the species we figure. Cisthene lactea Stretch is by Hampson 

 referred to the genus ttlice. Dr. Dyar places it in the genus 

 Clemensia. The species is unknown to the writer, and does 

 not exist in any collection which he has examined, so that we 

 shall not attempt to discuss the vexed question of its proper 

 location. 



(i) Clemensia albata Pack- 

 ard, Plate XIII, Fig. 38, <$. (The 

 Little White Lichen-moth.) 



Syn. albida Walker ; cana Walker ; 

 umbrata Packard ; irrorata Henry 

 Edwards ; patella Druce ; philodina 

 Druce. 



The insect ranges from New 

 England to Mexico and westward to the Pacific coast. 



Genus ILLICE Walker 



This is a moderately large genus comprising nearly thirty 

 species, the most of which are found in tropical America. 

 It has been subdivided into three sections, or subgenera, by 

 Hampson. In the second section, equivalent to O^onadia, a 

 genus erected by Dyar, are placed those species, in which
