between the last and the outer margin, one or two oblique 

 stripes near the apex and the terminal line, are all brown. 

 There are also more or less brown scales sprinkled over the 

 white portions of the wing. In this respect there is a great 

 deal of variation. Fringes pale at the base, fuscous out- 

 wardly. Hind wings pale fuscous, with finely interlined 

 fringes. 



Habitat. Florida. Early stages and food plant un- 

 known. 



PSEUDOSCHCENOBIUS N. GEN. 



Head medium ; face cone-shaped ; eyes hemispherical ; 

 ocelli present; antennae (Plate B, fig. 16) finely toothed 

 and ciliate, about two-thirds the length of the costa ; labial 

 palpi porrect, about three times the length of the head; 

 maxillary palpi triangular, about as long as the head ; 

 tongue rudimentary ; thorax smooth ; legs long and slim, 

 all the inner spurs twice as long as the outer; abdomen 

 long and slim. 



Fore wings (Plate C, fig. 8) three and a half times as 

 long as wide ; outer margin falcate and apex rounded ; eleven 

 veins, 4 and 5 from one point, 6 and 7 from a short stem, 8 

 and 9 from one stem; 11 arises from the outer third of the 

 cell and runs into 12, fusing with it from the point of junc- 

 tion to the costa ; 1 a is nearly half as long as the wing ; 1 b 

 is simple at the base. Hind wings (Plate C, fig. 9) trian- 

 gular, not quite twice as long as wide ; veins 4 and 5 co- 

 alesce, forming but one vein, 6 remote from 7 ; median vein 

 above pectinated basally. This genus was first proposed in 

 Smith's "List of the Lepidoptera," 1891, for opalescalis, a 

 species described by Hulst, from Arizona, and placed under 

 jSchoenobius ; but, as the structure of the insect gave it no 

 abiding place in any genus already established, we have now 

 characterized this new genus for it.
