tawny red^ the thorax tufted behind ; antenna; tawny red^ pubescent in the male. Fore winga 
— with the costa arched principally towards the base ; the apex not produced ; apical margin 
convex — pale ashy grey irrorated with minute ferruginous red streaks ; a basal patch angu- 
lated at its outer edge below the costa ; a wide costal patch commencing before the middle 
and extending nearly to the apex, emitting a branch at its outer angle posteriorly, which 
attains the middle of the apical margin, and a small apical spot, all rich tawny red : a slight 
ferruginous shade extends below the costal patch. Hind wings greyish fuscous, with paler 
cilia. 2 d, 2 2 • Expanse of wings 20 millims. 
North America : from Mr. Carter's collection. Clemens gives "Virginia " as the 
habitat of the species. 
Exartema griseoalbamim. (Plate LXVIII. fig. 9.) 
Palpi erect, white, with the second joint enlarged, sparsely clothed; the apical joint 
short and naked : head, thorax, and antennae dull fuscous ; the face white. Fore wings 
rather dirty white, with a dull fuscous spot on the middle of the costa ; a larger dull fuscous 
blotch indented on its "outer edge below the middle, covering the base of the wing except 
along the costa, to which it does not reach ; and a medium-sized dull fuscous spot on the 
dorsal margin before the anal angle ; the costa and apical margin are dotted with dull 
fuscous ; a narrow line of the same colour lies at the base of the cilia ; and there is a very 
pale quadrangular olivaceous shade on the dorsal margin between the basal patch and the 
dorsal spot. Hiud wings dull brownish grey. Type ? . Expanse of wings 14 millims. 
A single specimen from the Eastern States of North America, which is unfortunately a

in the genus Exartema.

white, with a very faint rosy tinge and some almost obsolete greyish reticulations ; a short 
basal patch, of which the dark brown outer margin is angulated above the middle ; an ill- 
defined brown triangular spot on the dorsal margin before the anal angle ; and a fuscous- 
brown shade extending from the costa, in the form of half an arrow-head, to a point above the 
anal angle, separated from the fuscous-brown cilia by only a narrow whitish streak above the 
middle of the apical margin ; there are also some faint brownish abbreviated costal streaks 
above the projecting angle on the inner edge of the dark shade, which, following the idea of
