median 3-branched, 3 and 4 stacked, 5 from the cross-vein, weak, 6 and 7 from the 

 apex of the cell, 8 joined to subcostal for one-third of the length of the cell. Frenu- 

 lum divided ( 9 )• 



Eyes large.no ocelli; antennae simple (J), palpi long, obliquely ascending 

 twice as long as the head and rising above the vertex, second joint long, closely 

 scaled, third distinct, small. Body slender, legs with long spurs, two pair on the 

 hind tibse ; wings long, narrow, the costa nearly straight but depressed at apical 

 third, outer margin straight, curved at anal angle ; secondaries considerably shorter 

 than primaries. 



In the synoptic table falls with Tantura Kirb. , but this genus 

 possesses ocelli and must be removed to the Noctuidse (see later in this 

 article). 



Palpidia pallidior, sp. nov. 



Pale ocherous, veins pale ocherous, all the interspaces thickly irrorate with black 

 scales. Secondaries whitish.

 Lycomorpha Harris. 



The account of this genus by Neumoegen and Dyar (Journ. N. Y. 

 Ent. Soc, I, 102) contains two important errors. We did not observe 

 that vein 8 was present on the hind wings of coccinea Hy. Edw., having 

 only examined the type without removing it from the drawer, and hence 

 wrongly allowed it to remain in Lycomorpha. We mistook for L. ful- 

 gens Edw. the specimens which stand in the Edwards collection as 

 Ptychoglene cequalis and described these. It will be noticed that our 

 description contradicts Edwards' original one (Papilio I, 116). These 

 specimens bear a label, I think, in Mr. Schaus' handwriting, but they 

 do not belong to Ptychoglene, as vein 8 of secondaries is absent; more- 

 over they do not fit Walker's description of P. cequalis, as the costal 

 edge is not black and the thorax is red instead of black. I propose to 

 call them Lycomorpha schausi. 



Lycomorpha pulchra, sp. nov. 



Head and body black ; thorax above, including collar and patagia, red. Wings 

 bright red, the fringes of both narrowly black and a very narrow black line on the 

 outer fourth of costa and internal margin of primaries. Expanse, 25 mm.
