NEW RHOPALOCERA AND HETEROCERA. 



BY B. NEUMOEGEN, NEW YORK. 



Catopsilia neleis, var. floridensis $, $ . 



A beautiful variety of C. neleis, Boisd. It differs from its tropical 

 types considerably. 



The o $ have a bright sulphur-yellow in basal half of primaries, the 

 broad anterior space being of a creamy white instead of the citron colour 

 in the typical form. 



The same is the case with the secondaries, except that three-quarters 

 of the area of wings are of bright sulphur. 



9 9 are not yellow, but creamy-white with large black discal spots, 

 black rimmed apices and anterior margins of primaries, and with pro- 

 minent citron tinge of the basal area of secondaries. 



C. neleis has so far been unknown to our fauna. 



The collector whom Mr. Chas. Palm and I sent to the Upper Indian 

 River of Florida succeeded in capturing about fifteen specimens of this 

 form. 



Catopsilia agarithe, var. Maxima. 



The ^ $ intense orange colour with prominent black dotlets at 

 interception of nervures and exterior margins, both on primaries and 

 secondaries. 



The $ 9 of equally intense colouring. The discal spot, the diagonal 

 line of dots from apex to submedian nervure and along exterior margin 

 of primaries being brownish red. On secondaries the markings along 

 exterior margin are dark red with blackish tint, much resembling those of 

 C. philea. 



Expanse of wings, 66 mm.; length of body, 26 mm. 



The examples caught (about 50) have been found uniform in size and 

 markings. This is a giant form of its kind and remarkably handsome. 



Habitat : Upper Indian River, Fla. Types coll. Neumoegen and 

 Palm. 



Oeta compta, var.floridana. 



Much larger than the typical form. Head, thorax, and primaries of 

 dark reddish-orange. The interspaces between transverse lines of pri- 

 maries larger than in the type form. 



Secondaries : Costa, apex, exterior margin, and nervures black, basal 

 half grayish, hyaline. Abdomen steel blue.
