300 TIIK CANADIAN KNTOMOIXKJIHT, 



bordered internally with white ; beyond the cell an irregular linear band, 

 crossing the entire wing, and bordered outwardly with white and inwardly 

 with orange ; this band is somewhat outcurved opposite the cell, forming 

 below the median vein a |)romihent W, the apices of which rest on veins 

 Cu, and ist anal respectively ; an obscure geminate bar at end of cell and 

 traces of a discal band, chiefly confined to a dark dash, edged inwardly 

 wiih while near costal margin, and a similar one in the cell ; dark basal 

 spot, edged outwardly with white ; fringes whitish, slightly checkered wiih 

 gray.

This species approaches columella Fab. rather closely in its general 

 markings ; can, however, be readily distinguished by the linear nature of 

 the banding on the under side and the prominent W mark ; in columella 

 the bands are decidedly macular in character, and the ground colour of 

 the under side is further of a much deeper brown than in our species. 

 We take pleasure in naming the insect after the collector, Mr. H. Lacey, 

 who has added so considerably to our knowledge of Texan Lepidoptera.

I/alictus vaporelltis, n. sp. 



9.— Length slightly over 6 mm., black, hoary with thin pale |)ubes- 

 cence ; abdomen without band or patches ; hind spur pale, with four 

 spines, the first three long; po.sterior trimcation of metathorax with a distinct 

 edge only near base; apical half of mandibles dark red ; tl.igellum slightly 

 (variably) brownish beneath. .\ small species of the subgenus Evyt<tus, 

 in all respects extremely close to //. Foxii Rob. (possibly a subspecies of 

 it), but difTcring as follows : Stigma dusky reddish-brown ; sculpture of 

 area of metathorax considerably finer ; face rather narrower. In Crawford's 

 table (Jn. N. Y. Ent. Soc, Dec, 1907), it will not run to Foxii ow account 

 of the stigma, and when run to quadrimaculatui and allies fails to agree 

 because of the absence of hair-patches on the abdomen. Under the com- 

 pound microscope, the sculpture of the front and mesothorax is seen to 

 agree with Foxii. The second abdominal segment is punctured as well 

 as transversely lincolite.
