discali lonyi-fusiformi lutea ; postice lutea, nigro marginate, 
apud apices oblique subtruncate. 
Male. Deep black. Antenne minutely pectinated. Fore 
wings fusiform, narrower than those of the two preceding species, 
and consequently more oblique along the exterior border; an elon-

Fem. Avneo-nigra, schistaceo micans; thorax luteo bivittatus ; 
abdomen apice alhidum ; ale antice lutee costa apicibusque 
nigris, vitta postica eneo-nigra. 
Female. AXneous-black, with slaty lustre. Antenne slender, 
simple, setaceous, somewhat shorter than the body. Thorax with 
two luteous stripes. Abdomen slender, extending for one-third of 
its length beyond the hind wings ; tip whitish.. Legs very slender ; 
hind tibia with four long spurs. Fore wings luteous, except along 
the costa and towards the tips; a slender eneous-black stripe near 
the interior border. Length of the body 3} lines; of the wings 9 
lines. 
This species will form a new genus between the Pyralites and 
the Melameride, and it approaches much nearer than S. auriflamma 
to the Pyralites. It may be distinguished from the above species 
by its more slender antenne and abdomen, by its longer and more 
slender legs, and by the much longer spurs of the hind tibia.
