4 BULLETIN BROOKLYN ENTOM. SOC. VOL. VII. May 1884. ] 
nniformly gray, crossed by a slightly darker s.t. shade, outwardly determinate and 
somewhat dentate. Secondaries and abdomen uniformly mouse- gray. Beneath, 
whitish gray; primaries rather darker through centre. 
Expands 1.30 inch. 34 mm. Aad. New Jersey. 
This is the first species of this genus hitherto discovered in our fauna. 
Demas is characterized by naked eyes; soft membraneous tongue; un— 
armed legs; and by having the accessory cell of primaries on a stalk 
beyond the discal cell. : 
The type of the present species is in Mr. Graef’s collection, 
Bomolocha umbralis, n. sp. Color even, dull, smoky brown, prim- 
aries flecked with scattered violet scales, most numerous just. beyond the t.p. line and 
at the apex. T-.a. line scarcely discernible, broad, diffuse, hardly darker than ground 
color, thrice scolloped in its course. Tp. line distinct, dark, outwardly shaded by a 
narrow white line, and a few violet scales. S.t. line very faintly traceable as a zig-zag 
pale line. A row of terminal black dots. Stigmata obsolete; the small punctiform 
orbicular only visible. Secondaries evenly colored, immaculate. Beneath immaculate, 
somewhat paler ground color above. 
Expands 1.12 inch. 29 mm. fad. Florida. 
This species is very distinct from all others heretofore described, in 
maculation and wing form; toa certain extent connecting Bomolocha with 
Hypena. The primaries while normally wide, have the apices acute, and 
slightly produced, while the secondaries are proportionately larger than 
in the other species of the genus. It is perhaps nearest to the /efulus 
variety of decepfalis, but differs from it and indeed all others, in the ow#- 
wardly oblique curve of the t.p. line. 
One Q specimen furnished the type. 
Hypena decorata, ». sp. Primaries of a yellowish-brown ground color, 
with transverse lines and subapical shade darker, more blackish; a paler whitish 
shade beyond the t.p. line, and above the subapical darker shade. Along the costa, 
there is a series of narrow black lines, which are traceable entirely across the wing, 
though, except in the white shade, they are nowhere as distinct as on the costa. T.a. 
‘line pale, shaded with dark brown, with a distinct acute outward angulation on the 
median vein. In the median space the cell is darker and there is a distinct black dash 
connecting the stigmata, which are represented, the orbicular by a round tuft, and the 
reniform by a narrow line, of raised scales. Another distinct tuft of raised scales in the 
submedian space near the t.p. line. The t.p. line is blackish; straight from costa to the 
submedian space, where it forms one broad, scarcely acute tooth. Beyond, the white 
shades off into the ground color to outer margin, interrupted by the punctiforms.t. line 
and the subapical black shade. Secondaries uniformly smoky. Beneath, smoky. 
Primaries with the discal dot, a transverse line and terminal shade, darker, and two 
small costal dots near apex bluish white. Secondaries with a discal darker trans- 
verse line? ;
