Eutrapela falcata n. sp. 1 ?. 



A slighter, though not smaller, moth than E. azgrotata, 1 and with 

 the wings much more angulated, and the apex of the fore wings 

 much more falcate than in E. transversata, or any other species 

 known to me. Antennse slightly slenderer than in E. transversata. 

 Pale ochreous. Head, body and wings, of the same hue. Fore 

 wings with no lines, and with only a few scattered blackish speckles, 

 a conspicuous black discal dot, and three subapical black spots, one 

 just behind the costal edge. Hind wings with a few scattered specks 

 and a distinct black discal dot. Beneath marked, just as above, 

 the three subapical and discal spots being reproduced. Wings a 

 little more densely speckled with black, and the fore wings a little 

 deeper ochreous. 



Length of body .65, fore wing .82 inch. California (Edwards). 



This fine species may be at once known by the very acute falcate 

 apex, the want of lines on the wings, and the three subapical large 

 black spots. The front of the head is ochreous, like the rest of the 

 body. 



An egg retained on the end of the abdomen is apparently spheri- 

 cal, with numerous high, and very distinct longitudinal ridges. 



Drepanodes Panamaria n. sp. 2d". 



This species differs structurally in some important characters from 

 the more northern species known to me. The wings are a little 

 shorter, and the apex much less falcate than usual ; the first subcostal 

 interspace is much shorter and smaller than in D. varus and sesqui- 

 linea, and all the venules sent off towards the outer edge of the wing 

 are shorter than usual. The hind tibiae are greatly swollen, nearly 

 twice as much so as in D. sesquilinea, and the spurs are much shorter. 

 Antennae broadly pectinated, fully as much as usual. Body and 

 wings pale yellow ochreous, and of the' same shade as above and 

 beneath, including the legs. Fore wings with traces of a narrow 

 basal curved ferruginous line. An outer oblique pale ferruginous 

 line straight in its course (not curved as usual), just below the apex. 

 On the costa, just in front of the angle, is a geminate black spot, 

 and another spot on the apex. Another larger spot between the 

 first and second median venules, and a large round black patch on 



1 1 regard Cherodes as congeneric with Eutrapela clemataria Hiibner, and nubi- 

 lata Pack. ; C. cegrotata (Guen. ) should therefore fall into Hiibners genus Eutrapela.
