the apex, the other at the inner angle ; the exterior line is faintly 

 seen between the two bands ; reniform spot obsolete; the orbicular 

 present as a black dot. Posterior wings white, with a faint

 border; posterior wings with a series of black dots at the base of 

 the fringe. 



Eab. Dallas, Texas (Mr. Boll). 



From the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cambridge. 



Notwithstanding the peculiar tooth on the margin of this 

 species, it appears to be congeneric with the European T. paula, 

 which it resembles in size and markings. 



Syneda ingeniculata, nov. sp. 



Expanse 38 mm. Length of body 14 mm. 



Anterior wings bright gray, covered with numerous darker gray 

 atoms, subterminal space dark ; half-line present ; interior line 

 black, even, and arcuate, accompanied by a reddish shade ; exte- 

 rior line with a similar shade, black, dentate opposite the reniform 

 spot, below which it is sharply drawn in, nearly touching the base 

 of the spot and then continuing obliquely to the inner margin ; 

 reniform spot consisting of an inner straight line followed by a 

 round black spot; orbicular spot absent; subterminal line whitish 

 and irregular ; fringe whitish at the apex and inner angle, other- 

 wise nearly concolorous. 



Posterior wings bright scarlet, with a very heavy black quad- 

 rangular discal spot, a subterminal line, bi'oken in the middle, and 

 a terminal band, becoming obsolete before the anal angle. 



Beneath the anterior wings are whitish, with the basal space 

 slightly red, a heavy oblique transverse black median line, touch- 

 ing below a rounded subterminal band, this is followed by a heav} 7 

 terminal band becoming obsolete before the inner angle ; posterior 

 wings the same as above, but the costa is white instead of scarlet. 



Hab. Dallas, Texas (Boll).

This species is allied to S. hoivlandi, Grote, from Colorado, 

 but differs in important particulars. 



Homoptera galbanata, nov. sp. 



Expanse 38 mm. Length of body 15 mm. 



This is a small species closely allied to H. edusina from Texas,
