bluish scales along some of the veins. Probably in fresher specimens 

 these would be more marked. Under surface lacks the bluish markings, 

 otliervvise as above. Head, thorax, and abdomen black above and below, 

 showing, however, with lens some metallic effects. Legs black ; but 

 hairs on inner aspect, especially on posterior pair, orange. Palpi dark 

 above, fuscous beneath. Tongue yellow. Antennse black, tending to 

 fuscous at tip and on under side. Eyes show bright metallic, brassy 

 shades. There is a tuft of bright orange hairs at base of primaries on 

 under side. Expanse, one and one-half inches. Types: four males and 

 one female. Huachuca Mountains, Arizona. July and August. 



Seirardia Clio, var. Jessica, n. var. — Differs from type form in 

 having hind wings almost or entirely black. In the males the suffusion 

 of the hind wings with black is complete, while in the females it is only 

 partially so, there remaining small patches of the white, especially along 

 outer margin and costa. The veins of fore wings are also much more 

 heavily lined with black. There is a well-marked black edging to the 

 inner, outer and costal margins of fore wings of the males as well as the 

 outer margin of secondaries of both sexes. In one female the outer 

 margin of primaries also has the black edging. The under surface of 

 primaries in the males is almost entirely suffused with black, while the 

 secondaries as on the upper surface are entirely so. In the females this 

 suffusion is much less marked. I have only seen this variety from 

 Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The typical Clio I have from Salida and 

 Durango, Colorado, and Nogales, Arizona. 



Orgyia Oslari, n. sp. — Male expanse, one and one-sixteenth inches. 

 Fore wings light yellowish brown. The ground colour is, however, 

 largely covered over with a darker brown shade. Basal line black, 

 distinct. T. a. line curved evenly outward from costa to middle of wing, 

 then inward to inner margin where it approaches close to t. p. line, 

 black, distinct ; outer margin a little undulate, inner accompanied by a 

 blackish shade, which quite fills the concavity of the curve at the costal 

 end. T. p. line crenulate, black, distinct ; beginning at costa, it extends 

 downward and outward in a straight line to the third nervule, opposite 

 reniform spot, where, forming an obtuse angle, it proceeds in a gentle 

 curve around the cell and then inward to inner margin. It is accom- 

 panied by a blackish shade on the inner side of costal half The limbal 

 space is obscured in its outer or marginal half by a brownish shade, and 

 has three small intervenular black dashes opposite cell. There is also a
