M. anrantiaca nov. sp. - - Male and female ; several speci- 

 mens collected by Mr. G. R. Pilate at Tifton, Ga. General 

 appearance like that of stabitlans, assimilis, z.u<\ pabulorum, i.e., 

 with gray-striped thorax and abdomen with variable spots. 

 Chaetotaxy like stabulans, etc. 



M. tcxana nov. sp. - - Two males, Texas. Agrees very closely 

 with Giglio-Tos's descriptions of M. parilis and M. vecta, from 

 which its rather broad front, with the series of transfrontal

 prostigma, which I think Mr. van der Wulp would hardly have

 He also refers Cyrtoneura antJtomydca Bigot to Clinopera. It 

 seems to me that there is nothing in Bigot's description that 

 does not apply to Muscina assimilis Fall., specimens of which
