Ochria Buffaloeiisis, n. s. 



^ . The clypeus lias a fronlal horn, else the insect looks like Gortyna 

 rutila and allies. The primaries are brownish red with the extra-basal and 

 subterminal spaces washed with purple. T. a. line geminate, waved, with 

 rather a deep sinus on vein i, its inner line purple, its outer dark brown 

 red. Orbicular spherical, yellow vvhite. The accessory spots are totally 

 wanting ; this last superficial character will separate the moth from any 

 N. Am. species of Gortyna allied to rutila, known to me or described by 

 Guenee'. Reniform moderate, yellowish, interlaced with a double brown 

 curved line. T. p.- line double, nearly straight, not exserted opposite the 

 cell, but prolonged on costa as in ptcrpurifascia ; its outer line is dark 

 purplish, more diffuse. S. t. line dark, distinct, irregularly dentate. Ex- 

 ternal margin even, bulging opposite median nervules. Veins obscurely 

 purplish. Hind wings pale red, with a mesial straight dark line. Beneath 

 light purple red, with a distinct common line ; on hind wings a narrow 

 lunula. Body beneath concolorous with wings ; thorax above darker, 

 more purpHsh. Expanse 40 mil. Miss Mary Walker, Buffalo. 



Polia pallifera, n. s. 



% . This species resembles Herrich-Schaeffer's figures of platinea. 

 Fore wings whitish gray with the median space washed with olivaceous 

 beyond the olive median shade line. Claviform olivaceous, very large, 

 finely lined with black. Reniform and orbicular gray, shaded with olive, 

 the former white narrowly margined with black. Median lines geminate, 

 of the usual shape. Beyond the t. p. line the wing is whitish gray, cut 

 by the olivaceous shaded s. t. line. Fringes obscure with an interrupted 

 dark line. Hind wings fuscous, paler at base with a sinuate mesial hne 

 and a pale subterminal shade. Beneath dirty whitish with double lines 

 and discal marks. Body beneath and abdomen obscure whitish or dusty 

 gray ; thorax more purely gray. Expanse 42 mil. Illinois, Mr. Bean. 



I cannot identify this with any of Mr. Morrison's descriptions under 

 this genus. It has the fascies of European species of the group. It 

 recalls the Californian Dian. iiisokns, but the eyes are naked. 



Homoptera Woodii, n. s. 



$ . This species is more strigate than any other known to me. Collar 

 brown with a black mesial line, tipped with gray. Wings dentate, covered 

 with dark strigae. Base of primaries blackish, defined by a broad velvety
