Callimorpha Conscita, Walk. 



Tanada Conscita, Walk. Cat. Lep. B. M. XXXIL, p. 377. 

 Callimorpha Lactata, J. B. Smith, Ent. Amer. III., p. 25. 



" Mas. Alba ; caput luteum ; palpi oblique ascendentes, verticem non 

 superantes, articulo 3*'" longi-conico ; antennae nignx, setosoe ; thorax 

 antice luteus ; abdomen tiavum ; pedes flavi, fusco varii ; al£e anticae 

 costa lutea ; posticae flavte. Var. B. Abdomen flavo-album ; alae pos- 

 ticse flavo-albse, anticee costa flavo-alba. Fcem. — Antennae sub setulosse ; 

 abdomen album ; alge albae ; anticae costa lutea. 



" Male. White ; head and fore part of the thorax luteous. Proboscis 

 tawny. Palpi luteous, pubescent, obliquely ascending, not rising so high 

 as the vertex ; third joint elongate-conical, not more than half the length 

 of the second. AntenUc-e black, setose. Abdomen yellow, not extending 

 beyond the hind wings ; apical tuft very small. Legs yellow, smooth ; 

 spurs moderately long; anterior tibiee and tarsi brown above. Wings 

 elongate, fore wings slightly rounded at the tips ; costa luteous. Hind 

 wings yellow. Var. B. — Abdomen, except the apical tuft, yellowish 

 white. Hind wings, yellowish white. Fore wings, with a yellowish white 

 costa. Female. — Antennae very minutely setulose. Abdomen and wings 

 white, except the costa of the fore wings. Length of the body, 7 to 8 

 lines; of the wings, 20 lines." 



It would seem that the female above mentioned must have been a 

 specimen of Fulvicosta, but the male is a good species, although its 

 describer treated it so badly as to put it into a wrong genus. Mr. Butler 

 sent me, in 1882, a coloured drawing of Walker's type, and I immediately 

 recognized that it bears the same relation to the species with yellow 

 secondaries as Fulvicosta does to those with white ones. 



I think that the fact that Walker mistook Ftilvicosta for the female of 

 this species should not destroy the validity of his name, and I have there- 

 fore cited Mr. J. B. Smith's name Lactata as a synonym. 



The results of my studies would lead me to group these species as 

 follows : 



Callimorpha, Latreille. 



1. Clymene, Esper. 



Carolina, Harris. 



2. Interrupto-marginata, De Beau v. 



Anchora, Harris, MS. 

 Comma, Walk.
