Brighton, Pa., July I, 1905 (H. D. Merrick) ; Plummers 

 Island, Maryland, June 5, 19 (Schwarz, Busck) ; Tryon, N. C,

Herculia phcezalis, n. sp. 



Dark brown with a vinous tint, fringes concolorous ; lines blackish 

 toward the median space, edged with yellowish outwardly, the inner 

 angled on median vein, the outer more distinct on costa, evenly ex- 

 curved mesially; a row of terminal blackish dashes nearly forming a 

 line. Hind wing with less vinous tint than the fore wing, but equally 

 dark, crossed by a curved whitish extra-mesial line, well removed 

 from the margin; fringe as on fore wing, with a black central line- 

 Beneath grayish, the terminal space paler and vinous shaded, the outer 

 common line repeated, dark, edged with pale, emphasized on the costa 

 of fore wing; a row of terminal triangular blackish dots. Expanse, 

 17 to 25 mm. 



Thirteen specimens, Los Angeles Co., Cal., May (A. 

 Koebele) ; Los Angeles Co., Cal. (D. W. Coquillett) ; Santa 

 Monica, Cal. (J. J. Rivers). 



Type. No. 11927, U. S. National Museum. 



Mr. Koebele's specimens are labelled " old branches of 

 Cupressus and fresh bark of orange;" Mr. Coquillett's bear 

 the letter " G," presumably referring to breeding notes. 



A specimen of this species was sent to Prof. C. H. Fernald 

 in 1898, with permission to describe it, if new. He has never 

 reported on it, nor returned the specimen, and I trust he will 

 forgive me for taking the matter into my own hands after the 

 lapse of ten years. 



Herculia cohortalis Grote. 



This species is not before me. Described from Colorado 

 and apparently allied to the following. 



Herculia thymetusalis Walker. 



I have but a single specimen of this species, from the 

 Adirondack Mts., N. Y. (W. W. Hill). 



Herculia binodulalis Zeller. 



I have identified as this species two specimens from Kerr- 

 ville, Texas, November, 1906 (H. Lacy). 



Herculia infimbrialis, n. sp. 



Pale stramineous-ochraceous, the costa of fore wings darker, the 

 fringe concolorous, not yellow. The lines start from triangular yellow 

 costal blotches, and appear dark, their narrow vinous-brown edges
