34 Psyche [March 
American species of Neophylax the stem of M fuses with 
Rs just a little basad of the fork of M. The condition in 
mitchelli is quite unique and probably should rank as a sub- 
generic division. The spur 1 formula of the type is 1, 2, 3 
instead of 1, 2, 4 as usual in the genus. This in all probabil- 
ity is also a subgeneric characteristic, but additional speci- 
mens may show that it is only an individual feature and 
subject to variation. 
Allegophylax subfasciatus Say 
This common eastern species was taken at three locali- 
ties: Deep Creek, Bryson City, N. Carolina, 2000 ft., Aug. 
20, 27 ; Newfound Gap, Smoky Mts., Tennessee, 5000-5200 
ft., Sept. 1 ; and on the state road to Newfound Gap, Ten- 
nessee, at 3500 ft., Sept. 3.

$ Spurs 2, 4, 4 ; ocelli absent ; maxillary palpi short and 
flattened, covered with scales ; labial palpi long and slender ; 
basal segment of antennae longer than head and covered 
with scales and stout hairs. Fore wing : costal area of wing 
rather broad, the margin slightly recurved and bearing a 
series of long hairs, some of which extend backwards to 
about the middle of the wing; all four branches of Rs pre- 
sent; M with three branches, Ml, M2, and M3 + 4; Cul un- 
branched. Hind wing ; costal margin slightly recurved and 
bearing short recurved hairs; Rs with four branches, M 
with only two ; Cul forked. 
5 Similar to the male, except for the following: the 
maxillary palpi are 5-segmented and normal in shape ; basal 
segment of antennae long, bearing long hairs, but no scales ; 
the anterior margin of the fore wing is normal and lacks 
the long, recurved hairs. 
Genotype: Notiopsyche latipennis Banks.
