Synopsis of species of Eremotylus 



a Cubitodiscoidal vein usually strongly sinuate; hooks of hind wings 13-15; 

 male clasps rather long, subrectangular, obtusely rounded at the 



apex m a c r u r u s Linn. 



aa Cubitodiscoidal vein nearly arcuate ; first and second recurrent ner- 

 vures nearly equal; hooks of hind wing 7-9; male clasps subrectangu-

g 1 a b r a t u s Say^ 



Eremotylus macrurus Linn. 

 Long-tailed Ophion 

 This, the largest American species of the genus, is closely allied 

 to E r e m . arctiae Ashm., which has been confused with it in 

 collections. The two species are easily separated from the others 

 of the genus by their considerably larger size; the smallest being 

 perceptibly larger than the largest of the other species, excepting
