I have been mistaken in my identification of / brucei in my 

 reference to that form in ENT. NEWS, iii, 6, and "Can. Ent.," 

 xxiv, i So. 



Ichthyura invcrsa Pack. After carefully reading the descrip- 

 tions and examining a typical specimen of inversa which Dr. 

 Packard kindly loaned me, I am satisfied that this name refers to 

 pa/la French. Prof. French's description is very careful, but 

 seems to differ somewhat from the specimens which he has dis- 

 tributed. It applies exactly to Dr. Packard's specimen of inversa 

 which was marked as "compared with type." In accordance 

 with these ideas I would arrange the North American species of 

 Ichthyura as below. This is the arrangement adopted by Mr. 

 Neumoegen and myself in a paper now in the hands of the editor 

 of the "Canadian Entomologist."

NEW SPECIES OF WEST AFRICAN DREPANULID/E. 



By W. J. HOLLAND, Ph.D., Pittsburg, Pa. 



(All of the species described in the following paper come from the 

 Valley of the Ogove River.) 



Genus CALLIDREPANA Feld. 

 i. C. oculatasp. nov. J 1 . Body and antennae pale ochraceous; eyes black. 



Upperside: fore wings ochraceous, clouded on the costa and the outer 

 margin with vinaceous. At the end of the cell there is a minute white 

 spot ; below the apex on the outer margin there is a minute ocellus pu- 

 piled with black, margined with yellow, about which there is a darker 

 line of vinaceous. This ocellus is incomplete on the lowerside, where it 

 fuses with a smaller blackish spot ; there are two small blackish spots 

 near the outer angle. The secondaries are whitish on the costa, shading 

 on the outer and inner margins into ochraceous.
