Synopsis of the Species. 



Large, whitish gray H. harvciata. 



Murli smaller, witl) a decided ochreous tinge //. iriguttata. 



Hetekophelps harveiatA i). sp. Plate 9, fig. 27. 



1 <? and 4 9. — Nearly twice as large as H. iriguttata, but with the 

 wings of similar shape, and with similar markings. Body and wings dull, 

 nearly white instead of ochreous, while H. triguttata lias a shining lustre. 

 Fore wings with three large costal patches, the inner the larger. From the 

 third and smaller one runs a slight line curved outward in the middle of the 

 wing. On the hind wing, the corresponding line is narrow, very faintly 

 indicated, and bent at nearly right angles in the middle of the wing. No 

 discal dytts above; below they are well marked on both wings, those on the 

 fore wings being sublinear. Beneath, the wings, body, and legs are tinged 

 decidedly with ochreous. 



Length of body, <J, 0.50, 9, 0.50; of fore wing, <?, 0.67, 9, 0.66'; 

 expanse of wings, 1.42 inches. 



Ithaca, N. Y. (Smith and Comstock) ; Middle States (Glover); New 

 York (Harvey); -'St. Martin's Falls, Hudson's Bay Terr." (Walker). 



This large species would not at first sight be thought to be a Hetero- 

 phelps, but it really agrees very closely in its structure and markings, only 

 differing in the much larger size and whitish tint from H. triguttata. 



Walker's Heterophelps atrosignata does not belong to this genus.

6 8 and G 9. — Uniformly pale ochreous; hind wings concolorous with 



the anterior pair. Fore wings with three blackish, conspicuous, costal spots 



(rarely sending as many faint lines across the wing). The basal spot is 



square, the middle one larger, subtriangular, situated near the outer third of 



the costa. The third spot is usually much smaller than the two others and 



situated rather nearer the apex than the middle spot. Often a very sinuous 



(not wavy) row of minute black dots extends across the wing from the middle 



spot. No other markings; no marginal black line as in H. harveiata. No 



discal dots Beneath, no markings, except two minute costal spots.
