144 LOBD WALSINGHAM ON [Jail. 19, 



Sida sp. (Gudmann). The moth holds the second pair of legs 

 outstretched as in Statlimopoda (Hedemann). 



It is interesting to find a second species of this genus, originally 

 described by Clemens from Pennsylvania. I have not had sufficient 

 material to enable me to critically examine the structure of this 

 genus, which is perhaps allied to Heliozela, HS.

 black streak beyond the outer end of the cell ; another white line 

 from the base of the dorsum reaches along the fold to one-third, 

 nearly joining a sinuous white line which, arising from before the
