tHE CANADiAN ENtOMOLOGIST. 2l6 



The insect, by the whigless female and as well the abdominal 

 armature, is allied very closely to the genera of the Pkigalia group. The 

 genus Coniodes is, however, sufficiently distinct from Rhaphidodemas in 

 the almost obsolete tongue and the male antennre pectinated to the tip. 



Phengommat^a dissimilis, n. sp. 



Expands 33 mm. Palpi and front white ; thorax and abdomen 

 white ; all wings above and below of an even, smooth cream white, the 

 fore wings above being of a somewhat deeper shade. 



Glenwood Springs, Colo. ; from Dr. Barnes. 



RiPULA VESTALIS, n. sp 



Expands 40-42 mm. Palpi whitish below, black above; front 

 black, or white below, black above, thorax, abdomen and all wings, 

 above and below, pure, unbroken, silky white ; antennae fuscous, fore and 

 middle legs black at end of femora, otherwise pure white, except some 

 black on tibial epiphysis of fore legs. 



South Florida ; from Mrs. A. T. Slosson. 



Therina punctata, n. sp. 



Expands 42 mm. Palpi very short, fuscous ; front fuscous ochre, 

 bright reddish ochre at summit; thorax, and abdomen light fuscous ochre ; 

 fore wings ochre, with fuscous striations, veins with an orange-ochre 

 shade ; inner line of blackish points, not distinct ; outer line of black 

 points, with an outer orange shading, sinuous, subparallel with outer 

 margin ; discal spot faint ; hind wings ochre, with faint cross line ; 

 beneath even ochre yellow with fuscous tinge, lines and spots obsolete. 



Glenwood Springs, Colorado ; from Dr. Barnes. Near T. viiri?ia, 

 Grt., but much larger, wings more extended, much more thickly scaled, 

 and outer line much more sinuous. 



Neoterpes ephelidaria, var. Kunzei^ n. var. 



I have received from Dr. Kunze a number of specimens of N. ephel- 

 idaria, Hulst, in which the whitish colour of the fore wings is replaced 

 with yellow, varying somewhat in brightness. The specimens vary also 

 in the lines, in the most these being (juite evident as in N. ephelidaria, 

 but in some specimens they are almost obsolete. In one case the fore 

 wings approach N. Edwardsata, Pack., in appearance in some of its 

 lighter marked forms. It may, therefore, be a variety connecting the 

 two species.
