Genus Dalcerina, nov. 



Antennae short, bipectinate, a tuft of scales at tip above ; head prominent, eyes 

 large ; palpi porrect, slender, exceeding the front by half their length, not reaching 

 vertex ; third joint minute. Legs slender, hind tibiae with end spurs only. Wings 

 full, rounded; fore wing costa straight, rounded at apex; vein I, furcate at base, 

 without branch ; I c present ; 2 at middle of cell ; 4 and 5 short stalked ; cell closed 

 by the short, wide angled furcation of discal vein ; 6 midway between 5 and discal 

 vein ; 7 and 8 long stalked below apex of cell ; 9 and 10 very long stalked as in Ddl- 

 cera, but II also stalked with 9 and 10 for some distance ; 12 from base ; retinaculum 

 a long fold. Hind wings with three internal veins ; vein 2 from the middle of cell ; 

 3 and 4 arising close together ; 5 from the lower part of cross vein ; discal vein as on 

 fore wing ; 6 and 7 very remote, running parallel ; 8 very close to 7 to end of cell, 

 but free or with a trace only of a cross bar toward base where the vein is rounded 

 toward costa. Frenulum long. 



Type tijucana Schaus (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. , 1892, 322). Mr. 

 Schaus' type is before me, and looks, superficially, like a variety of 

 Dalcei'a founata. 



Genus Acraga Walk. 



1855 — Acraga Walker, Cat. Brit. Mus. Lep. Het. IV, 807. 



1882 — Pinconia Moore, Proc. Lit. Phil. Soc. Liverp. XXXVI, 364. 



Venatation as in Daicera {vide Moschler, Verh. Zool. Bot. Ges. Wien, XXVII, 

 673), but accessory cell present ; veins 7-8 and 9-10 on stalks from accessory cell; 

 1 1 from the top of accessory cell. 



Type ciliata Walker; also moorei Dyar (|| ochracea Moore), 

 ochracea Walk, and coa Schaus. Also melinda Druce, unknown to 

 me. I am indebted to Sir G. F. Hampson for information about 

 Walker's type in the British Museum. 



Genus Dalcerides N. 6° D. 



1893 — Dalcerides Neumcegen and Dyar, Can. Ent. XXV, 121. 

 Close to Acraga, but the stalk of veins 9 and 10 reaches tip of wing. 

 Type ingenita Hy. Edw.; also mesoa Druce, the latter from Mr. 

 Schaus' collection. 



Genus Epipinconia, nov. 



Antennae short, bipectinate,; eyes large ; palpi slender, porrect, reaching half 

 their length beyond the front ; legs slender, hind tibiae without spurs. Fore wing 

 triangular, costa straight ; vein 10 shortly stalked on the stalk of 7 and 8, 9 coinci- 

 dent (absent), II at base of accessory cell, all as in Dalcerides. Hind wings trigo- 

 nate ; inner margin long, anal angle sharply rounded, as also apex, the outer margin 

 nearly straight ; veins 2 to 5, somewhat equally spaced, 3 and 4 nearest ; 6 above the 

 end of discal vein, remote from and parallel to 7 ; 8 close to subcostal to end of cell, 

 then divergent. Thinly scaled, bronzy, glistening species.
