 and outer end of cell l.v/ M2; a pale cloud along tlie entire 

 length of vein C'«, beginning at arculus ; veins pale brown, 

 darker in the infuscated area. Venation : Sc short, Scy 

 ending just beyond the origin of lis, SC2 a slightly greater 

 distance beft)re this origin ; I's long, arcuated, almost iu 

 alignment with 7f.+3 ; cell \st Mo pentagonal, longer than 

 any of the veins beyond it ; basal deflection of Cu^ longer 

 than or subecjual to Cwj, at or before the fork of M. 



Abdomen dark brown, the hypopygium fulvous ; in some 

 cases the abdomen is distinctly bicolorous, the caudal half 

 of each segment being slightly darker brown than the basal 

 half. Male hypopygium with the two spines on the rostrum 

 of the ventral lobe long and powerful, straight, the distal 

 spine a little shorter than the proximal spine, longer than 

 the apex of the rostrum beyond them. Gonapophyses with

Paratypes of Dicranomy'm vephelodes were sent to 

 Mr. Edwards for comparison with his types of J), tenebrosa, 

 Edwards ; he writes that the present species lias a much 

 heavier wing-pattern, the spot at the origin of lis being far 

 more conspicuous; Rs is longer and cells M^ and 2n(l M^ 

 are decidedly shorter. The present tly is distinguished from 

 D. hemimelas, Alexander, by the dull coloration.
