BY HARRISON G. DYAR. 



(This paper will appear in its entirety in the Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. 1891.) 



After studying a series of specimens kindly loaned to me by 

 Mr. E. L. Graef, as well as those in my own collection, I have 

 reached the conclusion that the species Euclea cippus Cram, in- 

 cludes the considerable range in variation represented by figs, 

 i to ii on Plate IV. 



Euclea cippus var. interjecta n. \ar. (PI. iv, figs. 7 and 8.) 



A row of green dots, sometimes partly confluent, connects the 

 sub-apical spot with the outer part of the sub-basal spot. 



Euclea nana n. sp. (PI. iv, fig. 15.) 



Purplish brown, the secondaries a little paler. On the prima- 

 ries a small, round, cliscal dot, and two rounded pea-green 

 patches, the sub-apical nearly circular, the sub-basal large, not 

 deeply excavated externally, and both succeeded by orange ferru- 

 ginous spots, broken on the veins.
