as its allies. Beneath it is light yellowish gray with the_spots and lines 

 much as in Zelleri, which it exceeds in expanse. Expanse 22 mil. Erie

Phoxopteris foricana, n. s. 



Bronzy brown with metallic reflection. Fore wings produced at 

 apices ; a metallic patch, widening outwardly, triangulate, extending to 

 middle of wing, limited inferiorly by the submedian fold. A metallic 

 stripe along internal margin. Costa from middle to apices shaded with 

 ochre brown, enclosing black marks on the edge of the wing and some 

 metallic scales just beyond middle of wing ; beyond this is a curved line 

 of black and metallic scales just before apices, and within it some metallic 

 scales on costa. A sinuate black line, becoming metallic at base of 

 fringes, runs down from apices, bounding the -ochre brown portion of the 

 wing and limiting outwardly a patch extending above internal angle to 

 middle of external margin. This patch is outwardly ochre brown, 

 enclosing an inferior black dash and above a dead brown ovate spot. 

 Inwardly the patch is metallic, enclosing a black spot and an irregular 

 black line, partially resolved into dashes. Hind wings dark brown with 

 paler fringes. Head and thorax metallic. Beneath iridescent black with 

 ochrey tips to fore wings. Expanse 18 mil." Collected by Mr. G. R.

 red above and below. On external margin the red edging broadens at 

 internal angle. Internal margin of primaries and costal margin of hind 

 wings without edging. On secondaries the red edging is continued around 

 anal angle, where it widens slightly, as also below apical angle ; beneath 

 as above, the discal points feebly marked. Stem of antennae white above 

 and between them on vertex. Head behind collar and front red. Abdo-
