semiovate spot of tlic same colour along the costa halfway between the fascia and the apex : 

 oilia scarcely paler than the ground-colour of the wing : the underside with a slight ochreous 

 tinge along the costa. Hind wings whitish, dusted and speckled with pale brownish fuscous, 

 especially towards the margin. Abdomen whitish grey ; anal tuft large, with a slight ochreous 

 tinge. 2 (J , 1 ? . Expanse of wings 15^ millims. 

 Southern Oregon, about the middle of May 1872. 



Allied to L. sescuplana, Zell., but larger, darker, and more distinctly marked. I have 

 specimens of the true L. sescuplana from Shasta County, California, taken at the end of July 

 1871, as well as some received from Texas, of which specimens are now in the British- Museum 

 collection. 



LOPHODEEUS, Stph. 

 Lophoderus gloveranus. (Plate LXIII. fig. 7.) 



Head whitish grey, thickly clothed above and in front ; palpi whitish grey, brownish at 

 the sides, projecting the length of the head beyond it : antennae slightly pubescent : thorax 

 with a raised ferruginous tuft of scales at the back ; patagia of the same colour. Fore wings 

 — with the costa arched ; apical margin very oblique, slightly emarginate below the apex — 

 rather shining leaden grey, with a ferruginous patch at the base extending over one fourth of 

 the wing, externally margined with brownish fuscous; an irregular, waved, greyish-fuscous 

 fascia about the middle, clearly defined only on its inner edge ; beyond and before it are some 

 transverse streaks and lines of brownish fuscous, especially towards the apex ; the apical 

 portion of the costa clothed with brownish fuscous, and some streaks of the same colour 

 running through the grey cilia. Hind wings pale brownish fuscous ; cilia paler. 1 ^ . 

 Expanse of wings 19 millims. 



Near Mount Shasta, California, Sept. 3rd, 1871. 



This species appears to differ from the genus Lophoderus, as defined by Stephens, in 

 having the apical margin of the wing slightly indented or emarginate below the apex ; but as it 

 agrees in all other particulars, it may perhaps be placed in that genus, at least provisionally. 

 I have named it in honour of Prof. Glover, of the Smithsonian Institute at Washington, who, 

 at the time of my visit in 1871, was most assiduously engaged in entomological work, and to 

 whose kindness I am much indebted.

Palpi projecting less than the length of the head beyond it, dingy grey ; antennae the 

 same. Fore wings — with the costa arched, with a fold or flap near the base in the male, not 

 closely appressed ; apical margin oblique, not concave — pale ashy grey, with minute wavy
