10 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



NEW SPECIES OF NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 



BY WM. BARNES, S.B , M.D., DECATUR, ILLINOIS. 



Holomelina calera, n. sp. — Allied to oste/iia, H. Edw., ^nd pomponia, 

 Driice, especially the latter. 



$ . Expanse, 3 c mm. 



Agrees with Druce's figure, Biol. Centr. Amer. Het., ulate 78, fig. 8, 

 and with Hampson's descri]:ition, Cat. Brit. Miis , Vol III., page 190, with 

 the exception that fore wings have a crimson fascia along the outer margin 

 as well as along costa, while the inner black area on secondaries is not 

 extended to apex, there being only a small black patch on outer margin, 

 just above and almost sej^arated from the inner black area. 



This insect will very likely prove to be a variety of povipo/iia, but as 

 I do not know the range of variation of the latter I prefer for the present 

 to consider it distinct.

Kodiosoma otero, n. sp. — ^ . Expanse, 32 mm. 



Fore wings brownish-black, fringe white. Costa narrowly edged with 

 white. Fore wing crossed by narrow white, slightly incurved band at the 

 junction of outer and middle thirds. This band is slightly constricted on

 widest at apex, and gradually narrows out before reaching inner angle, 

 fringe whitish.

 tip. A dorsal row of black spots. Thorax and abdomen black beneath.

 black, edged outwardly with i^aler shade, extends outward along costa, 

 then qu'te squarely across cell, thence inwardly to inner margin, quite 

 irregular. Orbicular and reniform distinguished with difiiculty, subequal,
