A. condita Gn. (= trabalis Grt.) (12 a) is a larger, reddish-brown species mixed with white, with a condita. 
black basal ray; transverse lines single, black, dentate, distally bordered with white; the maculae are large, 
whitish, surrounded with black, connected by 2 black streaks, the ring-macula oblong elliptical; between the 
postmedian line and the grey undulate line there is red-brown dusting. Hindwing yellowish-white, towards 
the margin brownish. Canada, Northern, Central and Eastern States. 
A. discolor Sm. Forewing greyish-white, irregularly strewn with black, and apparently very variable; discolor. 
transverse lines not distinct, double, filled up with a somewhat lighter tint, the white undulate line is proximally 
accompanied by a black shade; the large maculae are surrounded by black and situate in a darker ground, both 
connected by a black streak. Hindwing whitish, hued with a brownish grey, with a darker discal luna and 
submarginal band; fringes white. Expanse of wings: 39 to 41 mm. British Columbia. 
A. abbea Sm. at first sight resembles a small Envois prasina F. (Vol. Ill, t. 14 a); forewing on a abbca. 
whitish ground more or less dusted with moss-like green, with distinct markings; the double dentate transverse 
lines are filled up with whitish; the large maculae encircled with black are connected by a black streak; the 
undulate subterminal line is proximally bordered by a darker shade which is condensed into small sagittae 
in the interspaces. Hindwing yellowish dirty white with a darker discal luna with two transverse lines behind 
it. Expanse of wings: 40 to 43 mm. British Columbia. 
A. atrata Mow. for which a separate genus: Pteroscia was established, which, however, probably coin- atrata. 
cides with Aplectoides, has dull smoky-brown forewings with more or less extinct maculae and transverse lines, 
the posterior line being single, blackish, uniformly bent, on the veins extended into sharp teeth. Hind wing 
monotonously dark blackish-brown with somewhat lighter fringes. This rare species is described from Mt. 
Washington. — yukona McD. is perhaps a separate species, smaller, with a similar, but somewhat more distinct yukona. 
marking, on the whole of a more graceful structure, similar to a large A. laetabilis. From Yukon. 
A. homogena McD. has a similar marking as Anomogynci laetabilis , but the size and structure like homogena. 
atrata. We can unfortunately not say anything for the present about this species being unknown to us. 
23. Genus : Apharetra Grt. 
It differs from the preceding genera by the long cilia covering the eyes like in the Cucullianae ; all the 
rest agrees rather much with Aplectoides, but the anterior tibiae are not spined. 
A. dentata Grt. (12 a). Grey covered and strewn with brown, with finely dentate, single transverse dentata. 
lines and grey maculae surrounded with black; the dentate undulate line is proximally shaded with brown. 
Hindwing yellowish, at the margin brownish with whitish fringes. Canada, Eastern and Northern States. 
A. pyralis Sm. (12 a). Forewing black, strewn with grey, the black, single, dentate transverse lines pyralis. 
are bordered with grey; maculae finely surrounded with black; undulate line scarcely visible; behind it in the 
centre of the marginal area a blackish spot; fringes speckled grey and blackish-brown. Hindwing brownish- 
grey with white fringes. Canada (Alberta). 
24. Genus: Ufeus Grt. 
Distinguished by short, porrect palpi covered with long and rough hair; the eyes are ciliated like in 
the preceding genus; anterior body clad with rough hair, abdomen flattened with a large anal tuft, anterior 
tibiae not spined. Comp. Vol. Ill, p. 66. 
U. Sagittarius Grt. (12 a). Red-brown, intermixed with lighter scales, without any transverse lines, Sagittarius. 
instead of the maculae with two small yellowish, confluent diffuse spots. Hindwing yellowish brownish-grey. 
California. 
U. electra Sm. has dull chocolate forewings densely covered with long black hair, with a long black electra. 
basal ray, another black ray extending through the cell to the margin; only the posterior transverse line is 
indistinctly present, the maculae are absent. Hindwing yellowish greyish-brown, with a distinct discal luna 
and transverse line behind it. Expanse of wings: 39 to 41 mm. Oregon. 
U. hulsti Sm. (= coloradica Strd.) is on the forewing light red-brown with somewhat darker veins, hidsti. 
and haired blackish; the anterior transverse line is blackish, single, and composed of three flat bows, the posterior 
transverse line is feebly dentate, distally edged with a somewhat lighter tint. Hindwing reddish-grey with
