irregularly triangular brownish-purple costal spot beyond the middle^ merging into and 
followed by several slender transverse purplish streaks across the apical portion of the wing : 
cilia shining pale ochrcous^ shot with purplish. Hind wings shining brownish ochreous. 
Expanse of wings 20 millims. 
This appears to be a pale variety of a species from Texas^ which I am assured by Prof. 
Fernald^ who has seen the type, is Cenopis testulana of Zeller (Verb. z.-b. Ges. Wien, xxv. 
p. 241). I can detect no difference between the specimens except in the generally paler hue, 
especially of the ground-colour of the wing, in Walker^s example, for which, unfortunately, no 
locality is given. One of my dark Texan specimens is now in the British-Museum. 
Cenopis gracilana. (Plate LXIV. fig. 5.) 
Head, 2:)alpi, antcnnfe, and fore wings stramineous ochreous, the latter with a narrow 
oblique purplish-fuscous fascia running from before the middle of the costa to the middle of 
the dorsal margin, dilated at both extremities. Slightly beyond the middle of the costa is a 
slender angulated line of the same colour, which ci'osses the wing to a point opposite to the 
middle of the apical margin, whence it is bent downwards, reaching the dorsal margin 
before the anal angle ; the costa is faintly speckled with reddish ochreous, as is also the 
apical portion of the wing beyond the angulated line ; the cilia and apical margin reddish 
ochreous. Hind wings greyish white, the cilia having a faint yellowish tinge. Type ? . 
Expanse of wings 21 millims. 
This species differs from " Crcesia?" reticulatana, Clem. (Proc. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phil. 1860, 
p. 353), to which it is allied, chiefly in the form of the angulated line, which is not bent above 
the middle, and in the absence of any dark shading beyond it or attached to it. The fascia 
also is less oblique. I have seen no other specimen but the one above described, which was 
originally given to me by Monsieur de Heidemann, of St. Petersburg, who had received it from 
New York. 
Cenopis diluticostana. (Plate LXIV. fig. 6.) 
Head, palpi, and antennae dull reddish ochreous. Fore wings more than twice as long as 
wide — with the costa arched ; apical margin not convex, dorsal margin scarcely rounded — 
chestnut-brown, paler (with a yellowish tinge) towards the costa, which is purplish brown at 
the base, with three purplish-brown fascise ; the first before the middle oblique, dilated towards 
the costa, becoming obsolete towards the dorsal margin ; the second beyond the middle, 
narrower, curved outwardly from beneath the costa, and reaching to the anal angle ; the third 
covering the apex and apical margin nearly to the anal angle. Hind wings grey. 1 ^ . 
Expanse of wings 13 lines. 
From the Eastern States of North America.
