This species has the veuatiou (iib subcostal cell) of Lophodouta, and also agrees in the 
aiiteuuie and shape of botb iiairs of wings. Dr. Dyar having called iny attention to the absence 
of a cellj I have reviewed the generic characters. 
Ill its color and markings it is more like xY. stm<jula than a Lophodouta, and it is this 
superficial resemblance to Notodouta which doubtless has led to its reference to that genus. This 
species in general aiipearance, color, and markings is allied to and rejiresents in our fauna the 
Europeau L. trepUla {ircmula). Thus the genus Lophodouta is represented in the Eux*opean fauna. 
Its larva, jialging by Buckler's figure, is like our L, angiilosa in shape, but marked with oblique 
yellow and red bars. It is to be seen whether the European genus Peridea, to which trejnda is 
referred, is synonymous with the American Lophodouta.

Moth. — $ and 9 . Antennie heavily pectinated to ti]h more so than in Lophodonta, LophopteryXj 
or Xotodonta., and only less so than in Dasylopliia (simple in 9 irimacula). 
Palpi stout, slightly longer than in Lophodouta, and extending a little farther beyond the 
front. Eyes naked (both in the European trimacida and iu georgica).^ as they are in Lophodonta. 
Fore wings rather shorter and broader than iu Lophodonta, less produced at the squarish 
apex; outer edge less oblique; a large broad tuft on the inner edge. A subcostal cell present in 
1). georgica (but absent in the Europeau trimacula). 
Hind wings a little shorter and rounder at the apex than iu Notodonta or Lophopteryx. 
Larva. — That of the Europeau species noctuiform, with no tubercles, and much as in that of 
Lophodonta. 
Our J>. georgica is very nearly allied to the European D. trimacula in structure and in 
markings, only differing in a remarkable and unexpected way, considering the close similarity in 
other respects in the two species, there being iu the hitter no subcostal cell, the venation being 
much as in Lophodonta. 
Iliibner founded his genus on D. crenosa., chaonia, querna, and dodoncea, not mentioning 
trimacula [dodonwa being a synonym of it), which is closely allied with our species. Whether all 
these species are truly congeneric I cannot state, since I have only trimacula to refer to, and since 
European authors do not seem to have critically examined the structural features of these species.,
