lines and of the median blackish longitudinal shade, as well as by the 

 isolation of the spherical discal spots. 



Spragueia plumbifimbriata Grote. 



Fore wings 12-veined, 8 and 7 together out of the extremity of the. 

 accessory cell, 9 out of 8, a long furcation to costa. Hind wings 7- 

 veined. The neuration agrees with leo. 



This species, collected by Belfrage in Texas, has the fringes of pri- 

 maries plumbeous ; at internal margin a few pale hairs are sometimes to 

 be noticed, but there is no distinct patch as in leo and onagrus. In color 

 this species wants the orange of its allies, in ornamentation it resembles 

 dania, but there is no basal plumbeous marking. 



Spragueia dama Guen. 



Fore wings 12-veined, 8 and 7 together out of the extremity of the 

 accessory cell, 9 out of 8, a long furcation to costa. Hind wings 7-veined. 

 The neuration agrees with onagrus, except that vein 9 is thrown off a very 

 little further from the origin of 8. 



I collected this species in Alabama. The fringe of primaries is entirely 

 orange, flecked with plumbeous opposite the cell, and there are a few 

 plumbeous hairs at internal angle. 



I have a specimen of Guenee's variety "A " collected by Belfrage in 



Texas, July 30. 



Spragueia tortricina Zeller. 



Fore wings 12-veined, 8 and 7 together from extremity of accessory 

 cell, 9 out of 8, a long furcation. Hind wings 7-veined. 



The species is bright yellow and has narrower wings than Xanthoptera 

 nigrofimbria ; the fringes are blackish and there are two cellular dots, the 

 outer surmounting a blackish abbreviated band resting on internal margin 

 two-thirds from base. The primary wings are a little more produced 

 apically than in the other species, but the neuration agrees and the struc- 

 ture of the front differs from Fruva, to which genus 1 have referred it, 

 Can. Ent., ix., 69. It has been taken by Belfrage in Texas, May 10. 



The clypeus is narrow and smooth in the species of Spragueia, flat on 

 the first four species or but slightly bulging ; in tortricina and guttata, 

 especially in the latter, it is somewhat globose. In Erotyla the front is 

 much projected and the surface is rough, the infra-clypeal plate is promin-
