68 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



obliiiue, white and contrasting, set in a dark suftusion of the disc. Sub- 

 terminal line even, with a costal angulation. A fine dark terminal line at 

 base of concolorous fringes. Hind wings pale, shining with traces of 

 median shades and the fringes slightly carneous ; abdomen concolorous 

 with hind wings. Beneath fore wings dusky, hind wings pale with mesial 

 shade. Fore wings above showing pale costal dots ; beneath there are 

 pale costal shades and the costal angulation of the s. t. line is apparently 

 reflected. Expanse 2 1 mil. 



Several specimens taken on the Lake Shore, near Buffalo, N. Y., in 

 July, by Miss Mary Walker, after whom the species is named. 



Thalpochares orba, n. s. 



A large form resembling mundula in color and cut of wing, but stouter 

 and with longer palpi. Its generic position is not assured. Fore wings 

 dark brown, with the narrow median space almost black. The median 

 lines are even, pale ferruginous brown, contrasting. The outer or t. p. 

 line occupies almost the centre of the wing and is not angulate opposite 

 the cell as is mundula, but obtusely bent. A faint festooned line follows 

 the t. p. line. The irregular subterminal is relieved by a following pale 

 shade. The reniform is a small ringed spot. No traces of the other stig- 

 mata. Fringes concolorous, cut outwardly with pale. There is a delicate 

 violet reflection over the fore wings. Hind wings and abdomen blackish 

 fuscous. Beneath fuscous with discal dots and a common even mesial 

 line relieved outwardly by pale shading. Expanse 21 mil. Loc, Demo- 

 polis, Alabama. 



Spragueia plumbijiinbriata, n. s. 



Among the specimens belonging to this genus collected by Mr. Bel- 

 frage, in Texas, are several under the number "127" which I cannot 

 refer to doma or leo, although closely allied to these. The fringes in da7na 

 are orange colored with a leaden fleck opposite the cell ; of ho lead-color 

 except at the internal angle, where they are fulvous. In the new species 

 they are entirely plumbeous. The thorax and fore wings at base and 

 along costal region are very pale yellow, like the palest tint in the other 

 two species. The rest of the wing is taken up by two broad lead-colored 

 patches or bands, separated by a narrow rusty line at the middle of the 

 wing from the middle to internal margin. The first band stretches nar- 

 rowly to costa without the first transverse Hne, which is barely indicated
