THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 117 



The under surface is a little darker than the upper, with many longi- 

 tudinal lines of a still deeper shade, and a central stripe of blackish green 

 from the sixth to the ninth segments. The feet and prolegs are greenish 

 and semi-transparent, with faint lines and darker dots. This larva has 

 but three pairs of prolegs, and hence it alternately arches and extends its 

 body in progression. 



The specimens from which the above description was taken were full 

 grown by the third week in September, when they became chrysalids, and 

 remained in that condition until early the following spring. 



ON A NEW SPECIES OF TRICOPIS AND HOMOHADENA, 

 AND REMARKS ON HOMOHADENA INDUTA. 



BY LEON F. HARVEY, M. D., BUFFALO, N. Y. 



Tricopis a/ends. n. s. 



This species, collected by Mr. G. H. Belfrage, in Bosque Co., Texas, 

 Sept. 1 6th, differs from 7". chrysellus by the broader, more olivaceous basal 

 and median fasciae, narrowly united along the hind margin of the wing. 

 The white fields of the primaries are thus less extended than in its 

 congener. Subterminal line diffusely shaded with olivaceous, as is the 

 terminal margin, leaving a whitish apical space. Fringes whitish, thorax 

 light olivaceous. Hind wings less purely white, with a terminal olivaceous 

 shading. Beneath much as in its ally, than which this is a smaller species, 

 expanding 23 m. m. Mr. Belfrage regards this as a distinct form, and 

 sends it under the number 117. 



In a separation of the species with armed tibiae from Heliothis, the 

 genera Eulcucyptera and Tricopis I cannot consider with Mr. Morrison as 

 synonymous, since the structure of the fore tibiae offers points of dis- 

 tinction which must be insisted upon in order to obtain a natural 

 arrangement of the species. Only those names in Entomology are 

 correctly styled "synonyms *' which apply to equivalent forms. 



Homohadcua figurata. n. s. 



The body vestiture is scaly, mixed slightly with hairs. The size is 

 that of induta. The color is more grayish than usual, and the basal
