Antennae rather short ; club moderate, with a short terminal 

 crook. Palpi : second joint densely scaled ; third joint erect, short, 

 bluntly conical. Fore wing : costa straight, slightly excised before 

 apex ; cell less than two-thirds the length of costa ; vein 5 almost 

 equidistant from 4 and 6 ; vein 3 shortly before end of cell ; vein 2 

 slightly nearer to base of wing than to end of cell. Hind wing : 

 outer margin even ; vein 7 close to end of cell ; discocellulars and 

 vein 5 barely traceable ; vein 3 from end of cell ; vein 2 considerably 

 nearer to end of cell than to base of wing. Hind tibice with two 

 pairs of spurs.

1 am unable to point out any structural differences between 

 vialis?a\(\. lextor, the types vti Amblyscirtes and Stomyles respectively. 

 Tiie generic characters of Stomiiles have never been particularized. 



Confined to North America.

Aeromachus, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat, Hist. Soc. v. p. 214 

 (1890). 'Vy^e, stigmata, M.OOXQ. 



Antenna? : club rather robust, with a short terminal crook, tip 

 acuminate. Palpi : second joint pressed close against face ; third 

 joint povrect, short, obtusely conical. Fore wing : inner margin 

 longer than outer margin ; cell less than two-thirds the length of 

 costa ; vein 5 almost equidistant from 4 and 6. In the male of the type 

 species vein 3 is well before end of cell, vein 2 very close to 3, 

 lower margin of cell bent upwards at vein 3. In the other species 

 of the genus, vein 3 is immediately before the end of the cell, 

 and vein 2 well before the end, but considerably nearer to it than to 

 base of Aving. Hind wing : outer margin even ; vein 7 well before 

 the end of cell, both veins at its bifurcation curved outwards in 

 the male of the type species, but meeting at an acute angle in the 

 other species of the genus, vein 7 also arising near the end of cell ; 

 discocellulars and vein 5 barely traceable ; vein 3 immediately 

 before the end of cell ; vein 2 nearer to end of cell than to base 

 of wing. Hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs. Male in the type 

 species witb a short discal stigma on the npperside of the fore wing, 

 extending from the origin of vein 3 and just below vein 1. There 

 are no secondary sexual characters on the wings of the other 

 species.
