cause, without a doubt, the specimen already had those legs 

 missing when it came into his possession. Wieclemann had 

 the type before him when he prepared his Aussercuropdischc 

 sweiflugelige Insektcn and in such cases he gave supplementary 

 notes, in addition or correction of the short Fabrician diag- 

 nosis; that he does not mention the ciliation of the middle legs 

 is further proof that those legs were missing at that time. 



It may appear strange that Wiedemann failed to recognize 

 the identity of Cnlc.v cyancns Fabricius and his Citlc.v reuiipes, 

 described in the same volume. The description of Culc.v 

 rcniipcs was, however, added in the third supplement (Fernere 

 Nachtrage) of the first volume of the above named work, and 

 it was drawn up at a later period when he no longer had the 

 Fabrician type before him. 



DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OF EUCLEA V/ITH 



ITS LARVA. 



[Lepidoptera, Cochlidiicbe.l 



BY HARRISON G. DYAR. 

 Euclea vericrux, new species. 



Chocolate brown, the high tuft at the base of the abdomen somewhat 

 redder. On the fore wing a straight, narrow silver line runs from 

 the costa subapically ; it is continued by a roseate brown shade, diffuse 

 within to vein 2, where it returns at a rounded angle to beneath the 

 cell ; here it is joined by a narrow silver mark, which forms a cusp- 

 shaped point on vein 1 and reaches the inner margin at its basal fourth. 

 The space outside this line is dark brown, within it, blackish-shaded 

 except costally, where is a roseate shade. Discal mark elongate, dark- 

 brown, followed by a brown triangular spot at the end of the sub- 

 apical silvery line. A yellow shade filling the upper half of the sub- 

 basal silvery line. Fringe blackish. Hind wing chocolate brown. 

 Expanse, 22 mm. 



One female, Yera Cruz, Mexico, bred from larva collected 

 by Mr. F. Knab. 



T y p e No. 12628, U. S. National Museum. 



Allied to Euclea diversa Druce. baranda Schans, and retro- 

 versa Dyar, most nearly to the latter. The two former have 

 round (fiscal dots. From E. rctrovcrsa the present species 

 differs in the shape of the subbasal silver line, which is pro- 

 duced into a point on vein 1 instead of crossing this vein in 

 an arc.
