Hemileuca norba Druce. 



Euleucophseus norba Druce, Biol. Cent. -Am., Lep. Het., II, 

 420, 1897. 



Described from Amecameca, State of Morelos, Mexico. 

 The type is before me, but no other specimens. 



Hemileuca minette, new species. 



Front of head ocher, sides and behind crimson, thorax gray, abdo- 

 men dark red. Fore wing dark gray, the veins and costa dark ocher, 

 fringe and inner margin pale; lines somewhat approximate, whitish, 

 distinct, approximately parallel to outer margin, the outer wavy crenu- 

 late; discal mark a large, white, diffused patch, bare of scales cen- 

 trally. Hind wing gray, a whitish ray through the cell, a broad, dis- 

 tinct, outer whitish band; fringe pale, veins lined with dark ocher. 

 Beneath the ocher markings are broadened, but the lines of fore wing 

 nearly obsolete. Discal mark and submarginal band of hind wing dis- 

 tinct; base of fore wing shaded with crimson. Expanse 40 mm. 



One male, Mexico, without definite locality (Schaus collec- 

 tion), probably from near Mexico City. 



Type: No. 12931, U. S. National Museum. 



This species, together with the two preceding, may prove 

 to be varieties of one species. All apparently come from the 

 high Mexican plateau in the vicinity of Mexico City. A 

 large series of specimens is needed to decide the matter. 



Hemileuca hualapai Neumoegen. 



Euleucophseus hualapai Neumogen, Papilio, ill, 138, 1882. 



Described from a single female from southwestern Arizona. 

 So far as I am aware, no other specimens are known and the 

 male is uudescribed. According to the description, the moth 

 has a yellow costa and is therefore not allied to the other 

 North American species, olivice Cockerell. Its nearest ally is 

 the following, which, however, has a widely separated distri- 

 bution: 



Hemileuca mania Druce. 



Euleucophseus mania Druce, Biol. Cent.-Am., Lep. Het, II, 

 420, 1897. 



Described from Orizaba, Mexico. I have specimens from 

 this place (Schaus collection) and from Motzorongo (R. 

 Miiller) , both localities in the State of Vera Cruz, in the hot, 

 moist country. The females are very rosy in color and must 

 be very similar to hnuhipni Neum., but on the fore wings 

 both the lines are distinct. The males vary considerably in
