Fontaria louisiana, sp. nov. 



Type above dull brown; carinae bright yellow. 



Vestigial foveolae 2 + 2. 



Characterized by the structure of the gonopods of the male* 

 In these the posterior or principal limb of the telopodite is bifid, 

 the branches long, slender and subequal and cross those of the 

 other gonopod; of the two branches or prongs the mesal one is 

 geniculate near tip with the latter acute, while the ectal one is 

 straight, its tip also acute. The proximal, undivided and less 

 chitinous, stalk is thick, densely hairy, and is prolonged along the 

 mesal side of the mesal prong. The anterior or lesser spine is 

 much shorter than the bifid branch; it is much narrowed distad, 

 is moderately sigmoidally flexed, and crosses that of the other 

 gonopod. 



The body is narrowed at both ends between which the sides 

 are subparallel. The caudal plate short, truncate at tip. Pro- 

 cesses of penultimate keels distally rounded, the other acute. 



Length (male) 50 mm.

On May 15th, 1915, I received from Miss Harriet Boyes, of 

 San Benito, Texas, twenty-four cocoons of Rothschildia jorulla, 

 which she informed me were collected during the previous winter 

 and spun by larvae of the autumn of 1914. 



The record for emergence of images is as follows: October 

 14th, 1915, one male moth; October 9th, 1916, one male; October
