The present species does not fit well into any genus. Tentatively, 

 because veins 6 and 7 are slightly stalked instead of connate, the 

 authors follow Messrs. Dyar and Hill in questionably placing the 

 species in Antaplaga ; but this removes it from its obvious allies in 

 habitus, i. e. Stiria hiitsoni, S. olivalis, and Stirodcs virida. In reality 

 the insect appears intermediate between Stiria and Stirodes, possessing 

 a front similar to niglfrons, the genotype of Stiria, with an additional 

 central chitenization ; and the thoracic characters of obtusa, the geno- 

 type of Stirodes. 



Antaplaga is a general "dumping ground" for species which do 

 not fit well elsewhere, and hilli scarcely seems congeneric with dimi- 

 diata, which is the genotype. It might be well to mention that fresh 

 specimens of dimidiata show a spreading metathoracic crest, a char- 

 acter overlooked by Hampson, so that the genus is not unallied to 

 Stiria and Stirodes.

Several specimens have been received from the Baboquivari Mts., 

 Pima Co., Arizona, (O. C. PoHng), dates 15-30 August and 1-15 Sep- 

 tember. Specimens were compared with the unique female type by 

 Mr. Schaus,

Two specimens from Brownsville, Texas, match the series in the 

 National Museum and agree with Hampson's figure, which is appar- 

 ently taken from the male type.
