No. 2.J GROTE ON NORTH AMERICAN MOTHS. 271 



median white basal streak, accompanied by a thinner black ray ; they 

 aie shaded with white or gray irregularly over costal region and sub- 

 terminally. The costa is straight, apices i>roduced, external margin 

 oblique, even, very slightly rounded. The neuration can be nearly 

 made out, owing to the veins being darker than the wings. Length of 

 primary, 18 mil. Oregon, Mr. Hy. Edwards. One male specimen. 



This singular form differs from any JSToctuid 1 have yet seen. I place 

 it provisionally with Arzama and Admetovis. 



Pseudoglaea decepta n. s. 



<?. Eyes naked; front flat with the vestiture converging from the 

 sides. Fore tibias unarmed. Middle and hind tibitB spinose. Aspect 

 of a Glaea, the abdomen a little flattened. Ornamentation simple, like 

 hlanda and taedata. Color deeper, sqnamation close. Pale leather 

 brown, the terminal space paler, contrasting. Lines simple, black, the 

 inner preceded, the outer followed by a pale shade line. Inner line out- 

 wardly oblique with a terminal outward inclination, undulate. Outer 

 line even. Stigmata large, concolorous, pale-ringed. Subterminal line, 

 subobsolete, with faint dots. A terminal waved hair-line, fringes con- 

 colorous. Secondaries blackish with brown fringes as on primaries. 

 Beneath a common even blackish band over the paler, fawn-colored 

 wings. Head and thorax like primaries. Terminal joint of palpi dis- 

 tinct, conical, paler than the rest. Expanse, 40 mil. Colorado. Differs 

 from taedata from Texas, and hlanda from Vancouver, which nearly 

 agree, by the obsolete row of s. t. spots and color of hind wings. 



Litoprosopus futilis G. & R., Tr. Am. E. S. 2, 202, fig. 73. 



This species is not uncommon in a collection made on the Indian 

 Eiver in Florida. It closely resembles a specimen in my collection from 

 Panama, which I believe to be L. confligens Walk., but differs decidedly, 

 as follows: On the secondaries the black ocelloid spot on the paler 

 marginal band shows chalybeous scales within and before it, between 

 the mesial pale band and the marginal band, in L. confligens, but not in 

 the Florida species. Again, the mesial pale band is angulated on vein 

 1, and again opposite the upper angle of the cell, and is more even in 

 futilis; this- character is more apparent beneath, where the two dusky 

 bands are farther apart and the wing itself is darker in the Florida 

 species. While the general color and the markings of the fore wings 

 are quite similar, the differences above detailed are evident on exami- 

 nation ; in L. confligens the mesial band beneath is rounded, and on the 

 secondaries above more uneven than in futilis. Three species of this 

 generic group are known : futilis from Florida, confligens from Panama 

 and the West Coast, not as yet known to me from our territory, and 

 liatuey described by Professor Poey from Cuba. 



Omphalocera cariosa Led., Pyr. 339, Taf. 6, fig. 1-2. 



This species has been discovered by Professor Riley in IMissouri. 

 The maxillary i)alpi are not wanting, but are small and concealed.
