Packard.] 384 [May 4, 



The scalloped line reappears distinctly beneath ; discal dot large; 

 several other brown flecks are scattered over the middle of the wing. 



Length of body, .50; fore wing, 8 .70, ? .75 inch. 



Dedicated to Mr. Henry Edwards, who has been the first to dis- 

 cover the genus in North America. 



Ellopia Californiaria n. sp. $. 



Connects by its large palpi projecting beyond the front, and by 

 its full front E. fascaria Pack. MS. with the other species, E.fer- 

 vidaria, etc. Pale ash with numerous brown scales and strigas, 

 thickened on hind wino;. Middle of wino; dark brown, contrasting 

 remarkably with the rest of the wing ; inner side of the band moder- 

 ately oblique, the edge being straight, not sinuate. On the outer side 

 the band is deeply hollowed out, the course being very regular, and 

 towards the costa the band retreats towards the middle of the wing 

 so that the band is just as wide on the costa as at the lower por- 

 tion opposite the excavation. Beyond, the wing is colored as near 

 the base. Hind wings more densely speckled than fore wings, with 

 a short, straight, brown line starting from inner edge near the inner 

 angle, and fading away before reaching the middle of the wing; 

 otherwise the wing is unmarked. Beneath, no lines, but the wing is 

 ochreous, with a distinct yellowish tinge, and is densely speckled 

 with brown, uniformly on both wings.

This species is intermediate between the section of the genus to 

 which T. aspilates and T. crocallata belong, and the third section of 

 which T. trianguliferata is the type, as shown in the great length of 

 the palpi, and the acutely angulated wings. 



Tetracis trianguliferata n. sp. 8. 



This remarkable species belongs to a distinct section of the genus 

 from any described, as the S antennse are pectinated, the palpi are 

 remarkably long, and the venation is different. Though at first in- 

 clined to separate it as a new genus I shall retain it in the present 

 one, assuming that this and T. truxaliata are the more aberrant forms 

 of the genus ; the palpi do not vary so much in Endropia, though
