476 Mr. W. Warren on new 



iniddle : scaling smooth and glossy, when fresh iridescent, 

 burnished. 



Type //. siiffusalis, Wlk. [Scopula). 



LoxosciA. 



Fore wings elongate triangular ; costa straight, much 

 longer than the inner margin, convex before apex ; hind 

 margin decidedly oblique, curved : hind wings rounded : 

 labial palpi upcurved in front of face ; terminal joint short, 

 conical, but distinct ; maxillary erect, small, and thin ; tongue 

 and ocelli present ; antennae long, slender ; in the male pubes- 

 cent beneath, with fine ciliations. Scaling silky, not dense ; 

 markings, two stigmata and two transverse lines, the second 

 always very oblique, running more or less parallel to the hind 

 margin, with the space beyond in both wings filled up with 

 darker. The American species have a small tuft of scales 

 projecting from the inner margin, and ocelloid stigmata, and 

 may have to be separated.

 which is cut straight off or but slightly rounded.
