THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 187 
In the latter countries, beginning with Arabia, the arrangement of its 
colours, more or less indicated by the species of other districts, appears 
to be most established, and it therein mimics some of the wasp-tribe, 
such as Odynerus. In the other hemisphere, it appears on the west side 
-in Chili, and on the eastern side in South Africa ao in some of the 
Australian Isles, and in Australia.

CIRRHOPHANUS TRIANGULIFER, mov. gen. et. sp. 
BY AUG. R. GROTE, DEMOPOLIS, ALA. 
This genus of North American (Vocfuide appears allied to the species 
we have described under the genus Gortyza. The habitus is arctiiform ; 
and in outline and size it resembles Hadesidota. The wings are long ; 
primaries with blunted apices and rounded external margin; secondaries 
smaller than usual. The neuration has not been examined. The square 
thorax is crested centrally, and bitufted in front behind the collar. The 
patagia are deflected at extremities away from the body. The abdomen 
is stout, does not exceed the hind wings, tapers rapidly to the anus. The 
antennæ are stout and simple with thickened scape. The caputal scales 
are massed in front. The head is held forward, and the labial palpi are 
free and projected. 
The moth is entirely of a rich soft golden yellow, with darker linear 
ochreous shades. The usual markings of the family are absent on the. 
primaries, although the transverse posterior liné may be faintly discerned, 
sinuate and geminate. The most evident markings consist of two trian- 
gulate spaces situate on the middle field of the wing. The outer and 
upper of these is also the larger, and they are formed by distinct dark 
lines meeting at right angles. ‘The fringes are brilliant. ‘The hind wings 
are paler than primaries, without cable markings, nor are any lines 
noticeable on cither wing beneath. The body is concolorous with pri- 
maries above; the tegulæ, head and thoracic tufts with ochreous shadings. 
A specimen taken in Missouri was shown me in St. Louis by a gentleman 
whose name and address I have recently unfortunately forgotten and 
mislaid.
