Beneath white, with discal dots, a narrow common median line 

 and a broad suffuse common subterminal hand. 



Hob. Nebraska. 



Described from material given us by Mr. G. M. Dodge. 



This insect is separated from all the North American species 

 of the genus by the blaek posterior wings, crossed by a single 

 white band; in this particular it resembles the European T. luc- 

 tuosa. 



Lithacodia penita, nov. sp. 



Expanse 23 mm. Length of body 10 mm. 



Habitus and markings of L. bellicula, Hiibner, to which it is 

 closely allied ; it differs in the following particulars : the interior 

 line is strongly outwardly produced beneath the median nervure, 

 the orbicular spot absent, the reniform pure white and very dis- 

 tinct, preceded by a dark brown shading; the exterior line is not 

 followed by a white contrasting shade line as in L. bellicula, nor is 

 it angulate beneath the cell ; the subterminal line white, very clear 

 at the costa, where it is preceded by a brown shade, below it con- 

 trasts with the dark brown terminal space ; posterior wings uni- 

 form dark gray ; beneath, both wings are gra}', the posteriors 

 have a median transverse line. 



Hub. New York.

One female specimen received from Mr. Fred. Tepper. In this 

 species the ovipositor protrudes, but it is partially concealed by 

 the anal tuft. 



L. penita and its ally are related to Eustrotia rather than Jas- 

 pidea,. 



Remigia texana, Morr.

Since we published our description of this form we have received 

 additional material, and now we think probable that it is distinct 

 from the well-known R. latipes, Guen. The median lines are very 

 plain, extending from border to border, and accompanied by light- 

 er shade lines ; the orbicular spot is reduced to a white dot ; the 

 reniform is black encircled, concolorous, from its base the double, 

 wavy, median shade extends to the inner margin ; a series of 

 black subterminal dots.
