212 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [June, 



fringe is separated from wing by a remarkably distinct and well-defined 

 black line. The secondaries are greenish gray with the nerves lemon- 

 yellow, making a distinct and curious combination; the interspace between 

 the last median and the submedian nervure is bright yellow-fulvous; 

 fringe and black line same as on primaries. 



This is a remarkable species, and can be readily recognized by 

 character of stigma, dentate fulvous on secondaries above, and 

 by the marking of secondaries below. Above the species looks 

 like delaware, only it is darker in color, and below it reminds one 

 very much of Thymelicus poweschiek. 



Described from one in the collection of Dr. Strecker, after 

 whom I have named it. The specimen came from Florida. 



Pamphila yehl n. sp. $. Expanse if inches. This species looks con- 

 siderably like aaroni, and the superiors are marked not unlike pawnee, 

 thus having a heavier stigma than aaroni. Upperside: primaries yellow- 

 fulvous, with a brown border three-sixteenths of an inch in width; three 

 yellow-fulvous subapical spots situated in the brown border, the border 

 extending inwards from these to the end of cell; stigma rather wide and 

 mud-color in the middle, it is faintly divided in two by the nervure; beyond 

 the stigma and extending to brown border are two quadrate, yellow-ful- 

 vous spots, and at outer end of stigma a small V-shaped one, and at end 

 of this and directly below the extra discal spots is another minute V-shaped 

 spot. Secondaries: centre yellow-fulvous, with a dark brown border ex- 

 tending all around; the yellow-fulvous is broken into four distinct parts 

 by the nerves, with an extra one in the cell. Underside: there is nothing- 

 characteristic about primaries below; secondaries are light cinnamon- 

 brown in color (much like leonardus); in the centre of the wing, closely 

 placed, there is a semicircle of four yellowish round spots, with an addi- 

 tional one placed more inwardly toward the base. 



These spots are not nearly so well defined as in leonardus. The 

 species comes near aaroni. 



One specimen from Florida in collection of Dr. Strecker. 



Pamphila alcina n. sp. tf. Expanse 1.5 inches. Cppcrside. Primaries: 

 stigma black and well marked; three subcostal spots showing not very 

 distinctly in the fulvous of costa; taking on artificial line from subcostal 

 spots through stigma to inferior margin, the whole of this area to base of 

 wing is fulvous; external to the stigma are two fulvous spots one above 

 the other; the lower one is quadrate, and the other a triangle enclosed by 

 the nerves; the fulvous extends along interior margin to outer margin of 

 wing; the remaining part of wing is brown; the inferiors are brown, with 

 the central area covered by ill-defined fulvous spots and scales, I 'udcr- 

 nde of inferiors greenish fulvous, immaculate.
