American Entomological Society ; ' bnt T have specimens from California which nearly ap- 

 {iroach it. Some of these are now in the Museum collection. 



The other supposed North-American specimens placed by Walker in the genus Teras are 

 as follows : — 



Teras rostrana, Walk. : see Plaiijnota rostrana, p. 5. 



vicariana, Walk., = LopoUema rosaceana, Harris. 



albaniana, Walk. : see Pandemis albaniana, p. 11. 



obsoletana, Walk. : see Lozotcenia obsoletana, p. 11. 



retradana, Walk. : the type of this species is labelled " Australia." 



subauratana, Walk., = " Crcesia? " reticulatana, Clem. 



tinctana, Walk., = Platynota flavedana, Clem. 



xanthoides, Walk. : see Cenopis? xanthoides, p. 20. 



hudsoniana, Walk., = Teras hastiana, Linn. ?

Head thickly clothed above and in front. Palpi twice as long as the head, thickened in 

 the middle, the apical joint slightly depressed, tapering. Antennae pectinated on both sides 

 in the male. Fore wings more than twice as long as wide, without a costal fold ; costa 

 arched abruptly at the base ; apex scarcely produced ; apical margin not oblique, slightly 

 concave below the apex : veins of the fore wings in the male eleven, branch 7 ending in the 

 costal margin. The female slightly larger than the male and almost without ornamentation ; 

 branch 7 of the fore wings forked before the apex, which lies between its two branches. 



This genus is separated from Lo^otcenia, H.-S., Heterognomon, Ld., &c. by the pectinated 

 antennae and by the number of veins in the fore wings of the male ; differing in this latter 

 character, as well as in the form of the wings themselves, from Amphisa, Curt., Dichelia, Gn., 

 &c., in which genera veins 7 and 8 arise from a common pedicle in both sexes. 



Type Hendecastema cuneanum. 



Hendecastema cuneanum. (Plate LXI. figs. 8-10.) 



Head clothed with chestnut-brown scales above and in front : palpi chestnut-brown, the 



middle joint enlarged towards the end ; the apical joint slightly depressed, tapering to a 



blunt point : antennae dull straw-colour, strongly pectinated in the male on both sides : 



thorax and abdomen pale straw-colour, with a tuft of long hairs on each side behind the base
