this way. Dr. Bailey has captured in this manner Scopdosoma devia, 

 Graefiana. and tristigmata ; b\?,o Moj-risonia vomerina and evicta. Species 

 of the genus Homoptera have also occurred not unfrequently ; among 

 these I may mention iinilincota^ a species easily recognized by its strongly 

 dentate pale brown wings, the exterior line deep brown on primaries, 

 blackish on secondaries. It is to be hoped that this method of capturing 

 moths will be more extensively used ; it will infallibly reveal unexpected 

 varieties in every neighborhood. 



Dasychira Lintiicri, n, s, 



^ . Dark gray, shaded with ochrey at the base of primaries, on the 

 median space and along subterminal line. Basal line dark, narrow, 

 dentate on costa, slightly outwardly projected below median vein. Extra 

 basal space wide. Interior line very distinct, perpendicular, black, toothed 

 on subcostal vein, thence inwardly excavate to median vein at the point 

 of origin of vein 2, thence again excavate to vein i, diffuse on the mar- 

 gin. Exterior line faint, with whitish included shade. Subterminal line 

 irregular. Fringes blackish, white externally and interrupted with white. 

 Hind wings gray with a mesial shade line followed by whitish and shaded 

 with blackish on external margin at anal angle, where the commencement 

 of a second outer line is indicated ; fringe as on fore wings. Body stone 

 gray ; antenna with lengthy pectinations. Beneath the wings are paler ; 

 hind wings whitish with a sinuate blackish mesial common line. Body 

 paler beneath. Expanse 40 mil. Centre, N. Y., in May, several speci- 

 mens in the collections of the State Museum, Mr. Hill and Dr. Bailey. 



Euchaetes Spraguei Grote. 



The female of this fine species is contained in Mr. Von Meske's 

 collection from Texas. The stripes on costa and internal margin are 

 paler than in the male. 



Euclea incisa Harvey. 



The female is in Mr. Meske's collection from Texas. The hind wings 

 are paler, more yellowish than in paenidata, there is no red stain at the 

 angulation of the green space near internal margin on primaries, the 

 angulation is not so deep and the terminal brown space is narrower. I 

 regard the two as different species. Both forms are in the collection of 

 the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences and of Mr. Von Meske.
