The normal position of the clypeus (fig. i, 6) is anterior to the 

 epicranium. Typically, it is composed of two sclerites, the hind-, 

 post-, or supra- clypeus, and the fore-, ante-, or infra- clypeus. 

 The term epistoma is equivalent to clypeus. In some insects the 

 equivalent of the clypeus is composed of two pieces, an upper 

 called nasus, and a lower or rhinarinm ; again the rhinarium may 

 be absent. To the lower or anterior border of the clypeus is 

 attached the lab rum, or upper lip. 



The gula is in front of, or below the occiput, and is confined to 

 the under or ventral surface of the head. To its anterior border 

 is attached the labium, or lower lip. 



The sutures between the fixed parts of the head may be want- 

 ing, and the shape and extent of the parts vary greatly. In many 

 insects the fixed parts, excepting the eyes and ocelli, are more 

 or less covered with hair, so that the shape of the parts cannot 

 be seen until the hair is removed. P. P. C.

Two Species of Lepidoptera new to our Lists. 



I 



BY HARRISON G. DYAR. 



While at Lake Worth, Florida, last Winter I captured speci- 

 mens of two species not in our lists. They are the following: 



Calif dry as statira Cram. The is of the color of C. eubide, 

 but the border of raised scales extends more than half way across 

 the wing, and there is a large spot of these scales in the end of 

 the cell. The inner edge of this border is nearly straight, and it 

 is very pale yellow, almost white. On the hind wings the border 

 is narrower, more irregular, and ends before the anal angle. 

 Below much as in C. eubule , but with only faint traces of any 

 spots. 



Taken with Callidryas cubulc and C. agarithe, but less common. 

 January. 



Composia fidelissima Herrich-Schaffer. $ 9- Head black, 

 with two white spots. Collar and thorax black, with small white 

 spots. Abdomen black, with a very strong blue reflection and a 

 double row of small white spots on the last segments in the 

 Below neatly banded with white; wings black, a strong blue re- 

 flection at the base and end of the cell of primaries and on basal 

 two-thirds of secondaries. On costa of primaries at base are
