remainder black, facial callosities and posterior cheeks shining black, mid- 

 dle efface yellow, next the eyes and a band from eye to margin of mouth 

 below the facial callosity golden-yellow pollinose ; front gray pollinose, 

 frontal callosity and region of the ocelli shining black. Thorax clothed 

 with white pile and grayish pollen, so that no stripes are evident even in 

 the best preserved specimens, legs black with suggestions of yellow on 

 metatarsi, and bases of tibiae of the middle and posterior pairs. Wings 

 with anterior border, cross-band, apical-spot and spot at the bifurcation 

 of the third vein black ; the anterior border includes the costal cells, and 

 nearly the whole of the first basal, the outer border of the cross-band 

 proceeds backward from near the apex of the first vein, and reaches the 

 anterior branch of the fifth vein near its outer third. The cross-band is 

 abbreviated behind, leaving nearly half of the fourth posterior and the 

 whole of the fifth posterior cells hyaline. The apical-spot is rather narrow 

 and confined to the tips of the marginal and first and second submarginal 

 cells. The abdomen is black in ground colour, with the posterior margins 

 of all the segments thinly gray pollinose ; in well-preserved specimens the 

 first and second segments are gray pollinose all over, except a small dorsal 

 spot on each, and on the second and third segments especially, tlie 

 posterior margins expand into quite prominent triangles at the middle. 

 The venter is shining black with narrow posterior margin of each segment 

 pollinose. 



Length 7 millimeters, some specimens slightly longer. A number of 

 specimens taken at Raleigh, North Carolina, during the latter part of 

 April and the first part of May by C. S. Brimley, after whom the species is 

 named. 



The species is more like C. niger, Mac^iuart, tlian any of our species, 

 but the colour of the thorax and abdomen, and the presence of the apical- 

 spot of the wings are very distinctive. 



It is a matter of regret that we were not able to procure the males of 

 either of the two species here described, since oftentimes tlie best 

 characters are to be found in that sex. 



HYPOLIMNAS MISIPPUS, LINN. 

 Referring to the note on this butterfly, in the October, 1903, number 

 (page 292), Mr. Austin H. Clark writes from St. Vincent, West Lidies, 

 that during the first week of November last he saw three specimens in 

 tliat island, two females and one male, all in different localities.
