on the median prolonged to below the ring-macula; before the undulate line there are small black sagittae. 
Hindwing yellowish-white. United States to Colorado. 
L. burgessi Morr. (34 f) is now placed by Benjamin to Parastichtis, together with the two following 
species. Forewing light yellowish-brown, in the marginal and median areas darkened greyish-brown, with a 
black basal ray and double transverse lines filled up with whitish and submedianly connected by black; maculae 
surrounded with black, undulate line whitish, proximally before it there are small brown sagittae. Hindwing 
white, veins and margin brownish. United States. (Massachusetts, Nebraska, Arizona). 
L. ona Sm. which Hampson considered to be a Parastichtis, is a deep brownish-black species with a 
grey steel-coloured reflection, black double dentate transverse lines which are submedianly connected by a 
prolongation of the large coniform macula; the maculae are in yellowish-white rings, in the reniform macula 
distally broken up into dots; instead of the undulate line there are small black sagittae. Hindwing of a pure 
white, on the veins and margin brownish. Arizona. •— stygia Dyar (34 f) which was likewise described as Para¬ 
stichtis probably belongs hereto; the hindwing shows a somewhat broader brown margin. Mexico. 
L. relicina Morr. (- = migrata Sm.) (34 f), likewise described as Parastichtis, is very much like burgessi, 
with quite indistinct transverse lines, and a distinct longitudinal marking; ring-macula longer, flatter. Hindwing 
white, on the veins and margin brownish. Texas, Colorado. -— The green larva is watered with brown, without 
the longitudinal linear marking. 
L. posticata Harv. (= veterata Sm.) (34 g). Forewing ochre-brownish, in the marginal area browner, 
with brown, somewhat extinct transverse lines which begin at the costal margin with thicker black spots; the 
maculae are small brownish spots, the reniform macula is on the median inwardly produced; the dentate undulate 
line proximally shows brown irroration. Hindwing of a pure white. Texas, Colorado, California. 
L. venosa Sm. (34 g) has yellowish-red, brown-strewn forewings with brown veins, red-brown trans¬ 
verse lines, and the maculae surrounded with red-brown, between both with a bent faded median line; the 
undulate line is proximally bordered with red-brown. Hindwing ochre-yellowish, at the margin brownish. 
A very rare species from Corvallis. 
L. trigona Sm. (34 g). Forewing monotonously ochre-reddish grey, in the disc down to the submeclian 
fold and to the undulate line densely irrorated with blackish-brown, from which the maculae of the ground¬ 
colour prominently show forth; the transverse lines are rather indistinct, the reniform macula in the lower 
part dark-pupilled; before the undulate line there are minute black sagittae. Hinclwing greyish-brown, the 
margin remains lighter. Described from Tennessee. 
L. birnata Sm. (34 g) is a much smaller species which is perhaps better placed to 'passer conspicua 
(34 h); the light brown forewing is irrorated with blackish-brown in the costal-marginal half as far as the double 
posterior transverse line, in a quadrangular spot behind it and in the marginal area; the somewhat lighter maculae 
are surrounded with blackish. Hindwing dull ochre-brownish. New Foundland, Canada. 
L. innota Sm. (34 h). Forewing yellowish-grey, strewn with a darker colour, in the median area darker 
red-brown with quite indistinct transverse lines and indistinct lighter macidae; before the undulate line there 
is red-brown irroration. Hindwing greyish-brown with yellowish fringes. United States (Yellowstone Park, 
Idaho, Colorado), very rare. 
L. obtusa Sm. (34 g) was described as Oligia\ forewing blackish-brown, in the median area darkened, 
below the cell quite black; the median vein and its branches in the median area finely striped white, edged 
by the double transverse lines which show a somewhat lighter filling, with the lighter maculae therein; undulate 
line white-scaled, apex grey. Hindwing greyish-brown. New-Hampshire. 
L. passer Gn. (= incallida Wkr., loculata Morr.) (34 g) is a larger, reddish-brown, purple tinted 
species with a black basal ray, indistinct double transverse lines, the maculae intensely encircled with black, 
with black streaks extending from the lower end of the reniform macula; the marginal area behind the indistinct 
undulate line is darkened. Hindwing yellowish-brown, on the veins and margin darkened. -— The form conspicua 
Morr. (34 h) has a lighter yellowish hindmarginal and postmedian area. From New Foundland and Canada 
to Oregon and Colorado. 
24. Genus: Triclioplexia Hmps. 
The genus contains but 2 large species distinguished from the preceding genus by the thorax being 
purely clad with hair, with loose tufts on the prothorax and metathorax; the coarsely haired abdomen exhibits 
on the first rings dorsal tufts and lateral hair. 
T. contradicta Sm. (34 h). Forewing of a bright red-brown colour, in the median and marginal areas 
tinted purple and strewn with black, with a black basal ray and intense black transverse lines, and somewhat 
lighter maculae which are surrounded with black; behind the rather indistinct undulate line the veins of the 
marginal area are striped black. Hindwing reddish-brown, with a central spot and 2 darker cross-bands behind 
it. Canada.
