D. apicalis. Hind wings with black marks along the interior border, 

 with a black discal dot on the under side, and with cinereous exterior 

 and submarginal bands ; these are abbreviated in front. Length of 

 the body 5 lines ; of the wings 12 lines. 

 This and D. apicalis have a close resemblance to each other, but can 

 hardly be considered as one species. 



166. Dasychira longipennis, n. s. Fcem. Alba, tarsis anterioribus 

 nigro fasciatis, alis longissimis lunula discali nigricante, anticis nigro 

 conspersis vix lineatis costa convexa margine exteriore perobliquo. 



Female. White. Anterior tarsi with black bands. "Wings very long, 

 with a blackish discal lunule, which is most distinct on the under side. 

 Fore wings minutely black-speckled; the speckles indicating here 

 and there by their confluence three denticulated lines, of which the 

 submarginal one is the most complete ; costa convex ; exterior border 

 extremely oblique. Length of the body 10 lines; of the wings 

 28 lines. 



Gen. Ernolatia, n. g. 



Mas. Corpus crassum. Proboscis obsoleta. Palpi breves, graciles, 

 decumbentes. Antenna brevissiinae, latissime pectinatae. Abdomen 

 valde cristatum. Alee anticae apice subrectangulatae, margine exteriore 

 flexo. 



Male. Body thick. Proboscis obsolete. Palpi short, slender, decum- 

 bent. Antennae very short, broadly pectinated. Abdomen highly 

 crested along the whole length, not extending beyond the hind wings. 

 Legs moderately long and stout. Wings ample. Fore wings nearly 

 rectangular at their tips ; costa straight ; exterior border bent oppo- 

 site the 1st inferior vein, behind which it is very oblique. 



This genus seems to be closely allied to Dasycliira, but may be distin- 

 guished bv the structure of the abdomen and of the fore wings. 



16/. Ernolatia signata, n. s. Mas. Alba, abdominis crista apiceque 

 lutescentibus, alis subopalinis lineis duabus undulatis diffusis indi- 

 stinctis pallidissime cervinis l a fusco punctata, posticis margine inte- 

 riore sublanuginoso lituris obscurioribus.
