THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST, 197 



within and below the rounded discal spot • below this, on internal vein, is 

 another sub-obsolete spot. The sub-marginal spots are very large irregu- 

 larly triangulate ; the marginal spots are limited to two superiorly, which 

 do not tend to run along the edge of the wing as in allied forms ; the 

 fringes are but little paler than the rosy wings, which are more diaphanous 

 than in its allies. Fore wings like Saundersii in having linear venular 

 markings ; the bands are like that species, the color is more pinkish, the 

 discal stripe much broader. Beneath both wings alike roseate, with the 

 black markings repeated. Thorax and head like its allies ; the breast is 

 however, pink, and the legs spotted with pink and not wholly blackish. 

 Costa of fore wings without black markings beneath. Expanse 43 m. m.

Arctia intermedia wStretch. 



My specimens from Belfrage lead me to suppose a different species 

 from that illustrated by Mr. Stretch, whose figure seems to me undoubt- 

 edly to represent Saundersii. It is probable that a number of specimens 

 sent by Belfrage belong to a different species from that sent to Mr. 

 Stretch, and I provisionally propose the name Stretchii for the following 

 form. It differs fiom intermedia and Saundersii by the presence on the 

 fore wings of an inner sub-basal transverse band, narrowing at median 

 vein, broad below the longitudinal stripe. On hind wings all the spots 

 much reduced. The anus is not black at the sides. Oct. 7, 10. Dr. 

 Harvey has recently referred specimens of this form to Saundersii. 



Arctia Snoiui, n. s. 



£ . Habit of nais, of which I thought it at first an extreme variety, 

 but the fringes on both wings are wholly black. Head, thorax, legs, 

 wholly black ; abdomen crimson at sides. Wings wholly black. A 

 crimson discal rounded lunule, narrowly yellow edged ; a short broken 

 transverse bar, similarly colored, opposite the disc. Hind wings with a 

 moderate crimson lunulated spot outwardly towards the apices. Beneath 

 as above, a dash above the discal spot. Expanse 38 m.m. Kansas, Prof. 

 Snow.
