Psyche 
[April 
Dasyoptera, gen. n. 
In general appearance the members of this genus suggest 
a small species of Aphrophora Germ, and the venation of the fore 
and hind wings is quite similar. They differ however, in many 
important points. 
Head narrower than the prothorax, somewhat angulate 
anteriorly; anterior disc of the vertex horizontal, posterior disc 
sloping; face elongate, flat, the disc flat giving the appearance 
of an elongate oval impression; pronotum broad nearly twice as 
broad as long, and the anterior margin distinctly broadly angulate, 
the lateral margins distinctly produced into shoulders; meso- 
notum nearly as long as the pronotum, broad anteriorly with 
the lateral margins concave, the apex attenuate. Fore wings 
long and narrow, the venation strongly elevated giving a very 
rugose appearance; venation about as in Aphrophora Germ., 
hind wings long and narrow, venation as in Aphrophora. Legs 
short, hind tibia with a long stout spine beyond the middle, and 
very short obtuse spine near the base. 
Type: D. variegata, n. sp. 
Dasyoptera variegata, n. sp. 
This species may be recognized by its general golden brown 
color, with the vertex and pronotum strongly marked with black. 
Vertex broad, short, somewhat angularly produced anterior- 
ly about half again as long on the median line as next the eye; 
face nearly twice as long as broad, faintly ovally impressed on 
the median line; pronotum viewed laterally broadly arched. 
General color golden brown with golden yellow pile, this 
pile much paler in definite areas giving a spotted appearance; 
face with two large black spots apically, these spots continued 
over the apical margin as two black dashes on the vertex; post- 
erior margin of vertex with two large black spots which are twice 
as far from each other as from the eyes; pronotum with a row 
of six small black spots near the anterior margin. Fore wings
