Habitat. Everglade, Fla. (Apr. 8-15). 3 3,4 9. Types, Coll. Barnes. Allied to multilineatclla Hist., differing from this and allied species in the distinct row of subterminal black dots of primaries. Genus Storteria gen. nov. (Type Storteria unicolor sp. nov.). Antennae strongly flattened laterally, slight- ly annulate; labial palpi minute, upturned, not attaining front; maxillary palpi distinct, tufted; proboscis minu'e, front not prominent, tibiae with well-developed spurs, outer spurs 2/3 the length of inner ones; primaries broad, sub- quadrate ; 12 veined, 4 and 5 close together from lower angle of cell, 6 from slightly below upper angle, 7 from angle, connate with 8, 9 and 10 which are stalked, 11 free from middle of cell; secondaries with cubitus pectinate on upper side, 8 veined, 4 and s connate, 6 from upper angle, 7 and 8 stalked. The genus will fall somewhere near Leucargyra Hamp. and Doratopcras Hamp. Characteristic is the stalking of veins 8, 9 and 10 of primaries with vein 11 free. The minute palpi readily separate it from our N. American genera. Storteria unicolor sp. nov. (PI. H, Fig. 4). S. Head, thorax, and primaries unicolorous pale seal-brown, silky, with a slightly deeper shade in the cell; secondaries deep smoky, paler at base and along inner margin. Beneath, smoky with costa of primaries dull ochreous. Pro and midlegs deep silky brown inwardly, hind legs pale brown, palpi ochreous, brown outwardly. Expanse 29 mm. Habitat. Everglade, Fla.
