central band. Basal liue not obvious. Transverse anterior line well 

 removed from base, a little outcurved, even, margined on each side by 

 a narrow smoky line. Transverse posterior line makes a little outward 

 bend below tbe costa and runs thence evenly and only a little oblique, 

 margined on both sides with a narrow smoky line. Subterminal line, 

 when best marked, whitish, a little diffuse, somewhat irregular, dis- 

 located a short distance from costa, preceded by a smoky shading. From 

 this to entire absence, all intergrades occur. Of the ordinary spots, 

 the reniform is usually traceable by a line of whitish scales, but some- 

 tinjes all are absent. Secondaries varying from reddish to smoky gray, 

 uniform, or oniy a little paler at the base. Beneath reddish to smoky 

 gray, powdery, without markings in the examples before me. 



Expanse, 30 to 40 mm. = 1.20 to l.GO inches. 



Habitat. — Denver, Colorado, October 12 (Oslar); Glenwood Springs, 

 Colorado, October (Dr. Barnes). 



Three males and three females in fair condition. The species some- 

 what resembles an exaggerated Telesilla, or a narrow-winged Plagio- 

 mimicus; but the structural characters are, of course, distinctive. The 

 variation is in size, in ground color, and in the degree of development 

 of the subterminal line; and yet withal the species holds its char- 

 acteristic appearance. 



Type.— Cat. No. 4831, U.S.N.M. 



ANEPISCHETOS, new genus. 



Head moderate in size, hardly prominent. Eyes naked, large, hemi- 

 spherical, prominent. Tongue normal. Palpi very long, exceeding the 

 front by nearly the length of the thorax, transversely flattened, vesti- 

 ture scaly and directed toward both edges, middle joint much the 

 longest, projecting straight forward or a little oblique, terminal joint 

 less than one-half as long as the second, clothed in the same way, 

 directed obliquely upward. Front with a long jDointed tuft, extending 

 forward over the base of the palpi. Antenna? of the male with long 

 lateral bristles. Thorax and abdomen uutufted, the former with 

 smooth, scaly vestiture. Legs rather long, closely scaled, unarmed 

 except for the usual spurs on the tibiie. Primaries triangular, short, 

 broad, with acute apex and arcuate, oblique, outer border. 



At first sight this seems a Deltoid genus, but the venation of the 

 secondaries is strictly 3-ild, though vein 5 is fairly developed. The 

 palpi have the scales projecting beyond the edges both above and below, 

 forming a two-edged member and thus differing in a second essential. 

 We have no previously described genera with which this might be best 

 allied, and, pending further discoveries, this might be associated with 

 Doryodes, etc. 



85. ANEPISCHETOS BIPARTITA, new species. 



Ground color a pale, luteous brown. Head and thorax with an 

 admixture of gray. Primaries with an even, oblique white line, start-
