Expanse of wings, 25 mm.; length of body, 11 mm. 



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

 Palm. 



About fifty specimens were caught, all uniform in appearance. 



A7itarctia Beanii, n. spec. 



^ . Thorax and abdomen above and below very hairy, concolorous 

 with primaries, the abdomen somewhat paler, especially at the sides. 



Head, breast and antennas bright reddish-brown, the latter prominently 

 pectinated. A blackish tint on patagias, and a faint black dorsal line on 

 abdomen. Legs bright reddish-brown, the femora especially so. 



Primaries reddish brown, of lighter tinge at base and basal part of 

 costa. The following maculations in brownish-black. Two large irregular 

 median bands starting from costa, one between base and center, and the 

 other above discal cell respectively, running across the entire wing and 

 converging at center of interior margin, thus forming a triangle, resembling 

 the Roman letter V. A broad band along exterior margin. Fringes 

 blackish. In some specimens the marginal band being broken up in 

 irregular blotches. These various bands are so conspicuously placed as 

 to show the inner spaces, enclosed by them, more prominently, the latter 

 looking like a triangle resting with its base on costa and like a mesial line 

 outwardly curved. Secondaries rose colour. Fringes blackish. Two 

 mesian bands of gray-black, irregularly formed. The anterior band more 

 pronounced, the interior one being more of a curved line of irregular, 

 large dots. 



Below, both primaries and secondaries reddish brown, merging into 

 rose colour along anal margin of secondaries and costa of primaries. All 

 maculations grayish-black, faintly indicating marginal and anterior mesian 

 bands on primaries, and showing the mesian bands of secondaries. 



$ . Antenna minutely pectinated, nearly simple, of bright rose brown 

 colour with blackish tinge at base. All maculations brighter than in the 

 $ , especially the reddish and rose tints. 



Expanse of wings: ^, 33-35 mm.; ?, 29-30 mm. Length of 

 body : (J , 10 mm.; $ , 10 mm. 



Habitat : Laggan, Alberta, N. W. T. Types coll. B. Neumoegen. 



This is the most northern Afitarctia so far found in our fauna. 



I take great pleasure in dedicating this handsome species to Mr. Bean, 

 to whose indefatigable explorations of the Alberta subalpine fauna I owe 

 my specimens.
