there were Ardistonis obliqiia, Oodes lecontei and scores of 8ele r no- 

 phorus palliatus. 



But one evening 1 I found on the floor under an electric light a 

 specimen of C'asnonia hidovicfana the secor.d I have ever taken. 

 The first I found at Lake Worth in the sand near the water. I have 

 taken also at light this season two specimens of the handsome longi- 

 corn, Euryscelis suturalis, Q\\\. It is much like a Neoclytus in ap- 

 pearance. Another showy loughorned bettle not uncommon at light 

 is Layochrnts araneiformis, Elaphidion inerme\s abundant, two 

 or three species of Laptostylus come occasionally, as does also Hip- 

 popsis lemniscata. 



DESCRIPTION OF HAPLOA TRIANGULARIS N. SP. 



BY JOHN B. SMITH, Sc. I>. 



Ground color white; the markings smoky brown or blackish; 

 head rusty or orange yellow ; legs ot the same color, save that the 

 anterior and middle tibiae and tarsi are black ; antennas black ; 

 collar red or orange yellow, with two black or brown spots 

 at the centre; thorax with a blackish baud through the 

 centre and this is continued more or less obviously over the 

 centre of the abdomen There is a yellowish shading at the 

 junction of the thorax and abdomen, and in the male the 

 anal tufting is also tinged with yellow or rusty. The primaries 

 have a black or brown costal stripe which extends nearly to 

 the apex. A similar stripe extends along the inner margin, but 

 does not quite reach the base. There is a narrow outer margin, 

 wh'ch may or may not reach the apex and rarely reaches the inner 

 angle. From the inner angle, in fully marked specimens, a stripe 

 runs diagonally toward the costa, which it reaches about ^ from 

 base. From the middle of this stripe runs another, reaching the 

 outer margin just below the apex. This leaves a triangular white 

 patch just within the outer margin above the inner angle, and a 

 narrow white band from the basal third to the apex. This band in 

 fully marked specimens is divided by two nai rower smoky bands 

 into three white spots. In this case there is a broad white stripe 

 running approximately through the centre of the wing below the 

 median vein, but not reaching the inner angle. A large white tri- 

 angular spot just above the inner angle and three white spots below 

 the costa, the outer covering the apex. This complete maculatioii 

 is rarely present. The first break occurs in the narrow cross bands 

 separating the three white spots, and then we have a continuous 

 white shading extending below the costa to the apex. The next 

 to break is the connection between the white stripe miming- below 

 the median vein and the triangular white spot above the inner 

 angle. Finally, the connection between the oblique stripe running 

 below the apex is broken, and this leaves as the simplest marking a
