Fig. 47.—Cranihidia pallida, i Lithosiidae Genus CRAMBIDIA Packard This small genus, consisting of moths displaying delicate shades of slaty-gray, pale yellow, or pearly white upon their wings, is represented in our fauna by six species, three of which we figure, one of them being hitherto undescribed. The genus falls into two sec- tions, in the first being included those species in which there is no areole in the fore wing, and in the second those which have the areole developed. The first section is represented by Crambidia pallida, and contains, in addition, the species named liihosioides and nniformis by Dyar; the second section is represented by Crambidia casta, and con- tains, in addition, the species named cephalica by Grote & Robinson, and the species herein described and named allegheni- ensis. The structure of the insects is sufficiently well set forth in the two cuts we give, which have been kindly furnished by Sir George F. Hampson, with the permission of the Trustees of the British Museum. (i) Crambidia pallida Packard. (The Pale Lichen-moth.) The moth is uniformly brownish-grey, with the hind wings a trifle paler than the fore wings. The wings on the under side are lighter than on the upper side. The species occurs in the northern Atlantic States. (2) Crambidia casta Sanborn, Plate XIll, Fig. 30, J. (The Pearly-winged Lichen-moth.) On the under side the fore wings and the costal area of the hind wings are fuscous, and in some specimens the upper side of the wings is also slightly touched with pale fuscous. The insect appears to be not uncommon in Colorado and ranges thence south and north toward the Pacific coast. (3) Crambidia allegheniensis, sp. nov., Plate XIII, Fig. 31, $>.
