CENOPIS.

Cenopis niveana. (Plate LXIV. fig. 7.) 
Palpi about twice the length of the head, reddish brown beneath, pale greenish yellow 
above; the second joint depressed, exposed: head and thorax pale greenish yellow^ Fore 
wings bright shining white, suffused with i-eddish brown, shot with bright purple over two 
thirds of their surface, leaving only a conspicuous costal spot, a short basal patch, with a 
projecting angle at the upper edge of the cell, and a wide band over the cilia and apical 
margin ; the suffused portion of the wing has a mottled appearance on the dorsal half as of 
the white ground-colour partly appearing through the shading ; two small reddish-brown 
spots on the costa near the base of the wing. Hind wings suffused with very pale oehreous 
brown over all their surface, except the shining white margins and cilia ; underside white, 
the red markings showing through the wing over the whole middle surface. Expanse of 
wdngs 23 millims. 
Canada. 
I have not had an opportunity of comparing this species with Toj^trix aUseUana, Rob. 
(Trans. Ent. Soc. Phil. ii. p. 265, pi. i. fig. 15), to which it is nearly allied. That species, 
however, has not been described as being variable; and the Canadian form figured in this 
volume differs decidedly from Robinson^s figure in the extent and arrangement of the white 
spaces on the fore wings ; but it is possible that it may prove to be only a variety of Robinson's 
species, which is from Ohio. 
Cenopis pulcherrimaaa. (Plate LXIV. fig. 8.) 
Palpi scarcely twice as long as the head; both pale yellow straw-colour; antenufe tinged 
vrith chestnut-brown. Fore wings — with the costa abruptly arched at the base, nearly straight 
beyond, slightly rounded at the apex ; the apical margin convex ; the dorsal margin bulged at 
the base, straight beyond — pale yellow straw-colour, suffused over a great part of their surface 
with pale chestnut-brown, such parts having a slightly mottled appearance. The pure ground- 
colour of the wing appears only in a large triangular costal spot extending from near the base 
to beyond the middle, in a smaller spot near the base or the dorsal margin, and on the apical 
margin, where it forms an ovate blotch. Hind wings shining white. 1 ? . Expanse of 
wings 17 millims. 
From Texas. 
Cenopis demissana. (Plate LXIV. fig. 9.) 
Palpi, head, and antennte oehreous, more or less shaded with fuscous. Fore wings twice 
as long as wide — with the costa abruptly arched near the base ; the apical margin oblique, not 
indented; the dorsal margin rounded — oehreous straws-colour, wdth a faintly reticulated 
appearance, having an indistinct oehreous spot at the end of the cell. Hind wings very pale 
straw-colour, tinged along the apical margin with oehreous. 1 ^ ,2 ? . Expanse of wings 
7-8| lines.
