Azelina Hubneraria Guen. i, 159. 



Specimens from Messrs. Edwards and Behrens do not differ from 

 examples from Massachusetts and Illinois. In the female, however, 

 the outer line is less sinuate, and the inner line on the fore wings is 

 nearly obsolete. 



Azelina Behrensaria n. sp. $ . 



Closely allied structurally with A. Hubneraria. Ash granite gray. 

 Head and body pale granite gray, abdomen darker ; a line on hinder 

 edge of each segment; thorax very hairy, with a prominent median 

 crest. A broad, fawn colored brown band in middle of wing, limited 

 by the inner and outer line which are dark black brown and very 

 distinct ; inner line curved just below the costa, and slightly sinuate 

 below the median vein ; outer line sinuate as in Hubneraria, having a 

 deep curve inwards in the middle of the wing, and another near the 

 inner edge, 'and oblique on the costa. Beyond this line the wing is 

 ash gray as at base, with a large oval diffuse fawn-brown spot ex- 

 tending from near the internal angle to the middle of the wing. Edge 

 of the wing a little darker than next to the outer line ; a dark line at 

 base of fringe. In the hind wings, which are pale ash gray, the sin- 

 gle outer line is nearer the outer edge than in A. Hubneraria, and is 

 a little more sinuate. Base of fringe lined with black, and four black 

 diffuse intervenous spots very unlike the large distinct ones of A. 

 Hubneraria. On fore wings a large curvilinear white discal dot, 

 lined within with black scales. Beneath, uniformly pale ash ; discal 

 dot more diffuse than above, with a black dot within. 



Length of fore wing, .73 ; body, .65 inch. Behrens. 



At once known by the broad fawn-brown central band on fore 

 wings, contrasting with the pale granite ash gray of the rest of the 

 wings and body, and by the clear, large discal dot. Antennae a little 

 slenderer than in Hubneraria. 



Metanema cervinaria n. sp. $. 



Differs structurally from the other species described by Guenee, 

 in the antennas not being pectinated, but finely ciliated beneath, while 

 the palpi are rather large and stout, passing a little beyond the front. 

 The body and wings are of an uniform fawn color, the scales being 

 thick and close. The basal line is angulated on the median vein, ex- 

 tending thence straight to the costa, and below the median vein its 

 course to the inner edge is oblique and slightly sinuous. The outer 

 line pale testaceous; like the inner it is a little more distinct, and is
