(Continued from page 244.) 



Frothy mia rosario, n, sp. — Expanse : 26 mm. 



Fore wings chrome yellow, a pink patch at base of wing, about 3 

 mm. wide ; this is most marked on costa and between median and 

 submedian veins. A subterminal pinkish band, broad at base, where it is 

 confluent with the pink fringe ; at centre is narrow and furthest removed 

 from margin, at inner angle it broadens out, becoming again confluent 

 with fringe. Fringe pink, in one specimen slightly paler inwardly. Hind 

 wings pale yellowish white, fringe concolorous. 



Beneath, fore wings pale yellowish along costa, outer and inner 

 margins, dusky centrally, with indications of discal dot, pinkish spot at 

 apex. Hind wings as above. Thorax and abdomen yellowish, head 

 darker yellowish, more or less pink intermixed. Palpi yellowish, pinkish 

 at tip. Legs pink externally, pinkish internally. 



Type : S and 9 . Huachuca Mts., Arizona, July. One of the 

 specimens from Mr. Poling. 



Apaielodes iiva'da^ n. sp. — The general type of maculation is similar 

 to A. lacetania, Druce (Biol. Cent. Amer., Vol. II., 437, PI. 87, fig. 12 

 and 13), and to A. diffidens, H. E. (Entom. Amer. III., 92; Biol. Cent. 

 Amer. II., 438, PI. 87, fig. 15), but in detail there is a marked difference 

 from the figures as well as from the descriptions. Fore wings light gray, 

 with pale brown shadings, the whole with a slight olivaceous tinge. As in 

 diffidens, there is a straight brownish line from junction of basal and 

 middle thirds of costa almost to inner angle. Below this line the wing is 

 gray, above it more or less shaded with brown. On inner margin at 

 inner third are two black spots, one on margin, the other above and 

 extending a trifle farther outward, separated more or less distinctly from 

 first. Beyond these, and only separated from them by a narrow space of 

 ground colour, is a short black bar, which becomes lost before reaching 

 oblique line. The course of the bar and spots is obliquely outward from 

 inner margin, and they seem to be the remnants of a double transverse 

 line, which if angled in the middle of the wing and then run inwardly 

 would strike costa at beginning of oblique line. I.n one specimen a slight 

 thickening of the oblique line on costa seems to represent a remnant of 

 the transverse line. About 2 mm. further outward a second transverse 

 brown line can be made out ; in one specimen this is evidently double on
