anterior wings pale straw color, thickly dusted with brown. (By artificial 
light under the lens the dusting becomes golden brown, or bright reddish- 
golden.) In the apical part of the wing the dusting is dense and assumes 
the form of an indistinct, irregular, transverse line. Four small spots of 
the same hue with the dusting, one above the fold, not far from the base, 
two others opposite each other about the basal fourth, one on the fold, the 
other on the disc; the other which is, rather, a short streak, about the 
middle of the wing, the four forming an elongate coffin-shaped figure. 
(The spots and dusting are only visible under the lens, and to the naked 
eye, the wings appear of a straw color with a satiny lustre.) Posterior 
wings silvery, their ciliae straw color. Abdomen conical, straw color 
dusted with brown. Legs brownish ; tarsi brown, annulate with white. 
Alar ex. vs inch. Captured June 16th,in Kentucky. Larva unknown. 
The vertex is not greatly elongate, and the wings are rather wide in 
proportion to their length, and the antennae are microscopically pubes- 
cent. I think it must resemble closely Y. functiaiscellus, Clem. 
SAGARITIS,* gen. nov. 
In the absence of any extended means of reference to the works of 
European Entomologists, and being unable to locate the species below 
described in any genus known to me, I have been led to establish for it 
this genus. Possibly it may belong to Chetochilus, Steph. 
Slender, graceful in appearance. Legs rather long; wings narrow. 
Maxillary palpi minute, tongue moderate ; labial palpi long, recurved, the 
terminal joint acicular, and almost hidden by the tuft of the second joint, 
which projects upwards and forwards, instead of downwards and forwards, 
as in Ypsolophus (which otherwise resembles this genus as to the head and 
palpi.) Vertex narrow elongate. Antennae slender, simple, more than 
half as long as the wings. 
Anterior wings elongate, narrow, faintly falcate beneath the apex. 
Discal cell closed ; the costal attains the margin just behind the middle ; 
subcostal, furcate near the margin, which it attains before the apex, and 
sending off in its course three branches to the costal margin, one from 
about the middle, one before the discal vein, and one at the discal vein. 
Median, furcate beyond the discal vein, both branches attaining the dorsal 
margin at about the apical fifth; the discal vein sends off three branches, 
all of which attain the posterior margin behind the apex, the upper branch 
being furcate ; sub-median furcate near the base. Posterior wing a little
