Notela jaliscana Schaus. 



Ten specimens, Nogales and Huachuca Mts., Arizona (Oslar). 

 The Nogales specimens all lack the black longitudinal stripe, 

 while the others all have it. I do not think this more than 

 varietal. Mr. Schaus mentions its presence or absence in his 

 description. 



Pseudhapigia brunnea Schaus. 



Four specimens from Mr. Oslar, taken in Nogales and Tucson, 

 Arizona. Only two species are known in this genus, and it may 

 be that the form before me is new, as it does not tally in all 

 respects with the descriptions of brunnea Schaus or xolotl 

 Schaus. But 1 have no authentic specimens of these species be 

 fore me. In my specimens the color is a warm red-brown. 



Family MEGALOPYGID^. 

 Archylus tener Druce. 



Mr. E. J. Oslar has sent me a c? specimen, taken in southern 

 Arizona. It is, apparently, referable to the Megalopygidae, 

 though the structure is unusual as there is no branch to vein i 

 on the fore wings, while veins 7 and 8 of hind wings are united 

 to well beyond the end of the cell, arising from a stalk from its 

 upper angle. The appearance of the insect is well shown in the 

 .rigure in the Biologia Central!- Americana, pi. 79, fig. 6. 



It may remain for the present in the genus Archylus Walker, 

 though not agreeing entirely. The type of Archylus is gutti- 

 fascia Walker, which, as Sir G. F. Hampson kindly informs 

 me, is a Megalopygid much like tener, but vein 8 of the hind 

 wings arises just before angle of the cell while the cell is short. 

 These differences are probably of generic value, but I will only 

 call attention to them now.
