It is not improbable that examples of this species may be confused 

 with alia in collections from the same faunal region. 



Podagra, gen. nov. 



Eyes naked, hemispherical, not prominent. Antennae in both sexes simple. 

 Head moderate in size, the front protuberant a trifle excavated centrally, with a 

 small conical median process and yet smaller lateral projections. Palpi small, not 

 e.xceeding the front ; terminal joint small, obtuse. Vestiturj scaly. 'Ihorax with 

 the patagise marked, a little uplifted. I-egs moderate except the anterior, which 

 have the femora and tibiiie enlarged or dilated. Posterior tibia; with a few spinules 

 between the usual spurs ; median moderately spinulate throughout ; anterior some- 

 what abljreviated, intlated and with the upper surface closely set with prominent, 

 stout spines which are long, et[ual in diameter and bluntly terminated. Primaries 

 trigonate, costa obviously depressed beyond the middle, apices well marked, outer 

 margin evenly rounded, the fringes a little dentate opposite the veins. 



The genus is unique in the armature of the fore tibiaj, and should 

 be readily recognized. 



Podagra crassipes, sp. nov. 



Ground color of head, thorax and primaries a pale ashen gray with a clay yellow 

 or reddish-yellow shading. Head and collar luteous or pinkish. Head in front and 

 sides of palpi with black powderings. Thorax with black powderings which are 

 massed on the patagi;ii, on the posterior tuft and, to a less degree, on the disc. Ab- 

 domen evenly creamy yellowish. Primaries more or less black powdered, with the 

 luteous or pinkish tinge dominant in the basal and terminal spaces and longitudinally 

 through the center of the- wing. Basal line wanting or barely indicated on the costa 

 only. 1. a. line broken, incompletely geminate with a long outward tooth in the 

 submedian interspace; almost or quite meeting a similar, inward tooth from the t. p. 

 line. T. p. line geminate, even, broken, well outcurved over the cell, incurved 

 below, with a more or less well-marked inward tooth to meet that of the t. a. line in 

 the submedian interspace. The outer portion of the line is most obvious and, next to 

 this, is the pale included space ; the inner line being chiefly defined by the slight 

 color contrasts. Except through the cell the median space is blackish, powdered. 

 S. t. space blackish, powdery except opposite the cell. S. t. line black, broken, 

 emphasized on the veins which are sometimes black spotted, as a whole almost 

 evenly oblique. Terminal space evenly tinged or with only the veins marked with 

 black scales. A series of black, terminal, interspacial lunules, beyond which 

 the whitish fringes are cut with black. Orbicular a small black dot which is 

 sometimes wanting. Reniform wanting or very obscure, marked by two minute black 

 dots or by a vague paler shading which has no definite outlines. Claviform wanting. 

 Secondaries white in both sexes, with a smoky powdering over the veins outwardly 

 and with an indefined, powdery discal lunule. Beneath white, more or less powdery: 

 primaries tending to a pinkish shading, a smoky disk and a blackish costal shade at 

 {he s. t. line. All wings with a blackish discal lunule. Eegs gray or blackish, 

 ringed with whitish. Expands .95-1.06 inches = 24-27 mm.
