Plagodis approximaria, n. sp.Fore wings dark ochreous, paler about the faint purplish cloud that rests on internal margin; a cluster of blackish strigæ in centre of basal space on internal margin and a larger cluster in the balck cloud; otherwise the ground colour is without strigæ. T. a. and t. p. lines slightly curved, broad, somewhat clouded, nearer together than usual, blackish brown, the t. p. line the more distinct. Hind wings paler, largely overspread by a purplish shading that extends from a large cluster of dense blackish strigæ at inner angle. Thorax ochre, purplish in front and on the head. Expanse 50 mm.

Ichthyrua multnoma N. SP.Ground colour of primaries dark “ecur drab” (Ridg. iii., 21, * but much darker), heavily irrorate with “clove brown” (Ridg. iii., 2.) scales which almost entirely obscure the ground colour at the basal portion fo the wings as well as outside the third and fourth lines. First (basal) transverse line faintly yellowish, inwardly arcuate from internal margin to median vein, then rectangularly bent towards the base and following the median vein for about 1.5 mm, when it is again bent at right angles and proceeds straight to costa.

Dasylophia puntagorda, n. sp.♂.—Head and thorax appearing palest gray from admixture of pure white with cinereous. Abdomen, secondaries and ground colour of primaries sordid white. Primaries streaked longitudinally with blackish, which contrasts violently with ground colour. A diffuse, heavy, blackish shade rund obliquely from apex inward. A curved blackish line, reaching neither costa nor internal margin at outer three-fourths of wing.

Peridroma canities n. sp. – Form and markings of the Texan P. annexa, but of a different, dusty gray, colour and a little shorter winged. Primaries dusty gray, with a slight dusky shading along costa, against which the pale dots, marking inception of transverse lines, are relieved. T.p. line tolerably distinct, indentate interspaceally, with included pale shade. Veins marked with fuscous. T. a. line double, with a strong outward inflection above internal margin. Claviform blunt, filled in with fuscous. Orbicular with central dot. Reniform moderate,filled in with fuscous. Cell slightly darker shaded. Marking inconspicuous, concolorous. Hind wings (♀) white.

♂. Allied to A. bicarnea Guen,; smaller and distinguishable by the evenness of the t. p. line. Fore wings dead brownish black. T. a. line rigidly oblique to submedian fold, not rounded as in its ally, and with a less prominent tooth on internal margin. A very faint yellowish shading to the line and also on the costa at inception of t. p. line, where A. bicarnea is strongly marked with carneous. T. p. line shaped as in its ally, but even, geminate, the inner line not scalloped; the component lines include a pale shading.

Feralia Columbiana, n. sp.—Ground colour a bright emerald green, the maculation black and white. Head with a black interantennal spot. Collar with a black patch at its centre and at the base of each primary: tipped with whitish. Behind the collar there is a black edging to the disc and the loose basal tuftings are black marked. The edges of the patagia are black along the disc and at the base of the wings. The thorax itself is small and quadrate, the maculation just described forminga black square in its centre. The abdomen is deep smoky brown,yellowish or whitish at tip. Primaries with all the lines black, prominent, yet fragmentary. Basal line single, accompanied by a few white scales, becoming diffuse at the inner margin. T. a. line single, followed by a white line, out curved as a whole and irregularly bent or curved outwardly in the interspaces.

The following species, new to the fauna of the United States, have been collected by Mr. L. Heiligbrodt, in Bastrop Co., Texas, and the types are contained in the beautiful collection of my friend, Mr. Otto Meske, in Albany.Anisota Heiligbrodti, n. s.♂ ♀. The antennæ of the male are broadly bipectinate, except at the tips ; those of the female are simple. This species differs from its allies by its purely gray color and by the fore wings being covered by two narrow blackish lines. The first of these is sub-basal, irregularly sinuous, produced on the disc; the second is regularly scalloped, interspaceally waved, and runs from apical third to internal margin. The wide median space has a more purely whitish ground, while the wing everywhere is thickly dusted with duskily cells.

AIDAS SALDAITIS

Dichagyris is a diverse genus with a Holarctic distribution. Only a few taxa of the subgenus Albocosta Fibiger & Lafontaine, 1997 occur in the northwesternmost part of the Oriental region. The genus is most diverse in Turkey, Iran and the Central Asiatic high mountains. However, there is a distinct Sino-Tibetan group of species, possibly representing an undescribed subgenus. However, this idea is provisional and awaits revision of the genus. For present purposes, we assign these species to the subgenus Dichagyris. They share the following putative synapomorphies: black, dark brown or dark greyish forewing ground colour (with one exception), with obscure, reduced wing pattern and a broad-based, short, conical harpe in the male genitalia. Species of this group can be subdivided to two species-groups. In the astigmata-group which was mentioned for the first time by Hreblay et al. (1998) but without description or diagnosis from the minuta-group, the vesica is elongate and tubular (males), the appendix bursae and corpus bursae are long, sack–like, almost equal in size (females). In the minuta-group, the vesica is more ample than in the astigmata-group, and coiled, and the appendix bursae is globular and much shorter than the corpus bursae. The astigmata-group includes Dichagyris astigmata (Hampson, 1906), D. gansuensis Hreblay & Ronkay, 1998, D. geochroides (Boursin, 1948) and D. vargazoli (Gyulai & Ronkay, 2001). The minuta-group comprises D. minuta Hreblay & Plante, 1998 and D. kormos Gyulai & Ronkay, 2001. During a research expedition in Sichuan in 2019, the existence of a third species in the minuta-group was recognized, which is described here. In addition, the female and its genitalia of D. gansuensis, which was described by Hreblay & Ronkay (1998) based on a single male, are illustrated here for the first time.
