OF WASHINGTON. 327 



as are also the venter and legs, but more greenish tinted, especially just 

 below the ridge. Thoracic feet brown. Head black, long, shining, the 

 long antennae brownish; width, about i mm. 

 Described from larvae from Boston, Mass. 



Harrisina australis Stretch. 



This form occurs in Florida and Missouri. I have it from 

 Indian River and Enterprise, Florida, and Kirkwood, Missouri. 

 I have referred it as a southern variety of americana, but it is, 

 perhaps, referable rather to texana, if that is distinct. A series 

 were bred at the Department of Agriculture in August, 1892, 

 under the number 3548, received from Miss Mary Murtfeldt. 

 The larva, as I see from the notes, was like the woodbine form 

 described above under texana. Three of the moths are australis, 

 even the front legs being partly yellow. A fourth has less yellow 

 below. Another series, bred June, iSSS, under the number 158, 

 from Florida, are australis as to color, but some of them have 

 veins 8 and 9 of fore wings coincident as in americana. If it 

 were not for the two kinds of larvae, I would not hold these three 

 forms separate. The matter must be investigated further. 



Harrisina metallica Stretch. 



I have one specimen from Professor Cockerell, a male. Prof. 

 Cockerell* thinks that this may be a dimorphic form of the fol- 

 fowing species, but they differ markedly in the color of the collar, 

 and I have both sexes of the other species. Therefore, I keep 

 them separate pending further evidence. 



Harrisina coracina Clemens. 



The species is shining greenish black with black collar, shaped 

 as in americana. The larva has curious transverse bands on 

 certain of the segments. f I am of the opinion that neither the 

 name coracina Clem, nor nigrina Graef, which has been referred 

 as a synonym of it, really refer to this species, but that both of 

 them refer to Gingla martcni French, I have the latter from 

 Texas, but the present species only from Arizona. I await an 

 opportunity to examine the type before proposing a new name 

 for this form. If Prof. Cockerell is right, the name metallica 

 will cover it. 



Genus SETIODES Herrich-Schaeffer. 

 Setiodes bahamensis Dyar. 



This species has not been recorded from North America, but 

 occurs very close to our shores, and may yet be found in southern 

 Florida. I have described the larva. :f
