GROTE ON NORTH AMERICAN PYRALID^. 673 



Arta Grote. 



In this genus, the fore wiugs are a little squarer than in Asopia. The 

 ocelli are present. Fore wings 11-veined, 4 and 5 furcate -, 8 and 9 out 

 of 7. Hind wings 8-veined, 2 before the lower angle of the cell, 3, 4, 

 and 5 in succession from the submedian vein ; cell open or partially 

 closed, 8 out of 7 a short furcation ; 6 connected with 7 by a short vein. 

 The species are small. I only make out 2 internal veins on secondaries. 



Arta statalis Grote, Bull. B. S. K S. 2, 230. 



The fore wings are vinous-red, with two narrow, upright, approximate, 

 yellow, median lines ; the inner line brought well toward the middle of 

 the wing. Fringes darker than the wing. Hind wings fuscous. Be- 

 neath fuscous, the costoe tinged with red more or less diffused. The 

 expanse is IG mil. My three female specimens are all from New York. 



Arta olivalis Grote, Can. Ent. x, 23. 



(? 9 . A small species resembling statalis, but differing by the oli- 

 vaceous cast of the primaries above, crossed by two, parallel, faint, pale 

 lines, the inner at the middle of the wing, the outer at within the mid- 

 dle of the outer half of the wing; fringes vinous; hind wings pale pur- 

 plish, with vinous fringes. Beneath, the costal and external margins 

 are bright wine-color, a pale common line. The expanse is 14 mil. 

 Texas, Belfrage, in July and August (No. 405). The neuration has not 

 been studied. 



CONDYLOLOMIA Grote. 

 (Bull. B. S. N. S. 1, 176, plate 5, figs. 4, 5.) 



I have again studied the neuration of this genus, in which the cell is 

 so short on both wings. To the figure and description of the primary 

 wing (fig. 4), I have nothing to add. The drawing of the hind wing 

 (fig. 5) is defective in that vein 6 springs from the discal cross-vein, and 

 not from the upper margin of the cell ; the cell is closed by a concave 

 fold. The median vein is too straight, but the branches are correctly 

 drawn as to position. I find also only two internal nervures (Rippe 1, 

 a) ; but in this it is possible I am wrong, although I can find only two 

 in Arta. 



I am indebted to the kindness of Mr. L. W. Goodell, of Amherst, 

 Mass., for a specimen (No. 8) of the only species of this genus known, 

 Condylolomia "participialis.
