the other spots have disappeared, though in one specimen a few can be 

 discerned through the black. On the under surface the yellow markings 

 have been entirely replaced by black, the red remaining intact. In one 

 specimen the yellow spots can be traced through the black, but in the 

 other there is no sign of them to be seen. The only traces of yellow are 

 a few scales along the veins of the hind wings, a few more at the apex of 

 the fore wings and the spots on the fringes. Types : two males. Cali- 

 fornia. 



Meiitcea Senrabii, n. sp. — Male, upper surface black, with light brick- 

 red markings as follows : Indications of a marginal row of spots as shown 

 by two or three at inner angle of fore wings. In one specimen there are 

 also faint traces of spots on the secondaries. x\ submarginal row follow- 

 ing outer edge of both wings, seven on fore and eight on hind wings, large 

 snd distinct. A third row nearly obsolete. The three spots at costal 

 end, yellowish white. Two narrow bars in cell and four or five small 

 irregular spots below and to inner side of them, on the primaries. On inner 

 half of hind wings, two short transverse bars from costal edge with a round 

 spot below and between them. Traces of one or two other spots. Under 

 surface of primaries has a marginal band of red divided by black veins. 

 Within this is a row of white spots, fading out at inner angle, heavily 

 margined by black internally, and lightly externally. The third row is 

 composed of large red spots corresponding to the prominent row on the 

 upper surface. A demi-band from costa joins this at its middle. The 

 spots on the demi-band are four or five in number and of a yellowish 

 tinge. The remainder of the wing is red, and has four black bands from 

 costa; the inner extending across wing, the outer three only halfway. 

 Hind wings have a marginal, a basal and a double mesial row of white 

 spots margined with black. There is also a white spot in disc, margined 

 with black. The rest of the wing is red. Thorax and abdomen, black 

 above, whitish beneath. Antenni^ black with light rings at joints. Ex- 

 panse, male, seven-eighths inch. Types : two males. Corpus Christi, 

 Texas. 



Thecla Mirabelle, n. sp.— Compared to Autolycus, Edw., to which it 

 is closely allied, and of which it may prove a variety, the apex of foie 

 wings is more acute and the inner angle more retracted, and the discal 

 mark is broader. The fulvous patch is not so sharply defined and more 

 rounded. The anal angle of the hind wings is much more acute and tlie 

 outer margin not so rounded. There is almost no trace of the tooth
