OF WASHINGTON. 93 



Genus GALASA Walker. 



Galasa rubidana Walker. 



This well-known species ranges from Florida and Texas to 

 New Hampshire and the Rocky Mountains. References may 

 be found in Hampson's work on the Chrysauginse (Proc. Zool. 

 Soc. London, 1897, pp. 633-692) and in Bulletin 52, U. S. 

 National Museum. 



Genus TOSALE Walker. 



Tosale oviplagalis Walker. 



This species has a range similar to the preceding, but does 

 not extend so far to the North. Specimens are before me 

 from Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, 

 and Illinois. I have also a single female from southern Ari- 

 zona (Poling). 



Genus CHALINITIS Ragonot. 



Chalinitis olealis Ragonot. 



I have no specimens of this species, but the venation given 

 by Hampson and the figure of Ragonot indicate a very dis- 

 tinct form. 



Genus SALOBRENA Walker. 



The synonymy of this genus is given wrongly in Bulletin 

 52 of the U. S. National Museum. (Ectoperia Zeller is prop- 

 erly a synonym of it as given by Hampson, but Clydonopteron 

 Riley should be distinct. Fernald is right in giving two 

 genera for tecDmce Riley and sincera Zeller, but he used the 

 wrong names. 



Salobrena sincera Zeller. 



My specimens are all from Texas, two originally collected 

 by Belfrage and others received later from Brownsville, col- 

 lected by Messrs. C. H. T. Townsend and H. S. Barber. 



Genus CLYDONOPTERON Riley. 



Clydonopteron tecomae Riley. 



Besides Riley's types, I have a number of specimens from 

 the vicinity of Washington, D. C., and two from Agricultural 

 College, Mississippi, taken by Mr. Glenn W. Herrick. The 

 larvae feed in the seed pods of Tecoma. This is the only 

 species of North America Chrysauginae of which anything is 

 known of the early stages, with the exception of one new 

 species, hereinafter described.
