IS TOETElClDiE. 



irregiilarly triaiigixlai' brownish-purple costal spot beyond tlie middle^ merging into and 

 followed by se^•eral slender transverse purplish streaks across the apical portion of the wing : 

 cilia shining })ale ochrcous, shot with purplish. Hind wings shining brownish ochreous. 

 Expanse of wings 20 niillims. 



This appears to be a pale variety of a species from Texas, which I am assured by Prof. 

 Fcrnald, who has seen the type, is Cenopis testulana of Zeller (Verb. z.-b. Ges. Wien, xxv. 

 p. 341). I can detect no difference between the specimens except in the generally paler hue, 

 especially of the ground-colour of the wing, in Walker^s example, for which, unfortunately, no 

 locality is given. One of my dark Texan specimens is now in the British-Museum, 



Cenopis gracilana. (Plate LXIV. fig. 5.) 



Head, palpi, antennae, and fore wings stramineous ochreous, the latter with a narrow 

 oblique purplish-fuscous fascia running from before the middle of the costa to the middle of 

 the dorsal margin, dilated at both extremities. Slightly beyond the middle of the costa is a 

 slender angulated line of the same colour, which crosses the wing to a point opposite to the 

 middle of the apical margin, whence it is bent downwards, reaching the dorsal margin 

 before the anal angle ; the costa is faintly speckled with reddish ochreous, as is also the 

 apical portion of the wing beyond the angulated line ; the cilia and apical margin reddish 

 ochreous. Hind wings greyish white, the cilia having a faint yellowish tinge. Type ? . 

 Expanse of wings 21 millims. 



This species differs from " Crcesia ?" reticulatana, Clem. (Proc. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phil. 1860, 

 p. 353), to which it is allied, chiefly in the form of the angulated line, which is not bent above 

 the middle, and in the absence of any dark shading beyond it or attached to it. The fascia 

 also is less oblique. I have seen no other specimen but the one above described, which was 

 originally given to me by Monsieur de Heidemann, of St. Petersburg, who had received it from 

 New York. 



Cenopis diluticostana. (Plate LXIV. fig. 6.) 



Head, palpi, and antennse dull reddish ochreous. Fore wings more than twice as long as 

 wide — with the costa arched ; apical margin not convex, dorsal margin scarcely rounded — 

 chestnut-brown, paler (with a yellowish tinge) towards the costa, which is purplish brown at 

 the base, with three purplish-brown fasciae ; the first before the middle oblique, dilated towards 

 the costa, becoming obsolete towards the dorsal margin ; the second beyond the middle, 

 narrower, curved outwardly from beneath the costa, and reaching to the anal angle; the third 

 covering the apex and apical margin nearly to the anal angle. Hind wings grey. 1 ^ . 

 Expanse of wings 13 lines. 



From the Eastern States of North America.
