OF WASHINGTON. 457 



Synchlora louisa Hulst. So named by Dr. Hulst. The speci 

 men (r^), however, differ smarkedly from the type which is before 

 me. The discal dots on the four wings are punctiform and black, 

 not red ; the costa of primaries is white on the edge, narrowly red 

 behind this, and only broadly marked at the extreme base ; not 

 broadly red to apex, widened in and at end of cell ; the margins 

 of the wings are red only in a marginal line and on the fringe 

 throughout, cut with white intravenular dashes, not with a dis 

 tinct widening at veins ic and 5 of fore wings and anal angle and 

 apex of hind wings ; the thorax and base of abdomen are green, 

 the red stripe with enclosed white spots begins on the second 

 segment, not broadly red from collar to penultimate abdominal 

 segment. It may be called var. hulstiana (or bon. sp.?) 



Larva. Head rounded, slightly retracted, luteous with dense white 

 granules: width 8 mm. Body green with dense, secondary, pointed 

 white granules ; angular subventral projections on joints 5 to 9, bearing 

 tubercles iv and v. Tubercle iv large, a long cone with many little spines 

 to which various objects adhere. Tubercles i to iii small, v larger, vi 

 and vii small. The large tubercles are iv of joint 6 to 9 and iii of joint 5, 

 as is normal in the group. A faint broken white dorsal line and stripes 

 posteriorly on the projections. One larva found on the flower head of 

 Lantatta camara. 



Percnoptilota fluviata Hiibn. Several examples at light. 



Ccenocalpe parinotata Zell. At light like the preceding. 



Senelys subquadrata Guen. Also at light, less frequent. 



Gypsochroa hczsitata Guen. Not uncommon, the larvas on 

 Pisonia aculeata (see Psyche IX, 59, 1900). The eggs are laid 

 on threads like those of Eudule mendica. 



Cysteophora pervertipennis Hulst. Two specimens at light, 

 one of which served as Dr. Hulst's type. The female resembles 

 the male, but the antennas are simple and the hind wings are 

 without the pouches ; the borders of both wings are heavily 

 shaded with purplish, darker than in the male. 



Emilitis floridata Hulst. Several examples at light 



Eois ossularia Hiibn. Some examples at light. 



Eois balistraria Hiibn. Also at light with the preceding. 



Eois suavata Hulst. A specimen in the beach hammock 

 furnished eggs from which the life history was made out. (See 

 Psyche IX, 106, 1900). 



Eois cburneata Guen. Dr. Hulst remarks: " Very close to 

 eburneata and I think that species ;" but the specimen does not 

 agree with another from Cocoanut Grove, Florida, labelled with 

 this name by Dr. Hulst. 



Wauchula rubrotincta Hulst. One example at light furnished 

 Dr. Hulst's type of this new genus and species. 



Leptomeria laretaria Hiibn. {Minutularia Hulst), one 

 example.
