THE CANADIAN ENTOMOT.OGTST. 109 



Triocnemis Gr. 



Type : T. Saporis Gr. 



The essential characters are originally given by me in the posterior 

 thoracic tuft and the tridentate anterior tibiae. Our species resembles the 

 European Calophasia in appearance. It is a remarkably handsome insect. 



I. Saporis Gr. Arizona. 



Rhodosea Gr. 

 Type : R. Julia Gr. 



This genus contains our handsomest of the pink species, and is allied 

 to RhodopJiora Florida. It differs strongly by the two-clawed anterior 

 tibiae, the unarmed tibiae, the structure of the front and the narrow wings. 

 The lovely species has the fore wings of a delicate pink, with a pale yellow 

 dash on the cell, the edges and fringe pale yellowish. Fore tibiae abbre- 

 viate, with a shorter outer and longer inner terminal claw. Front very 

 bulging, with the infra-clypeal plate centrally exposed. Eyes full, naked, 

 unlashed. Tibiae not spinose. Labial palpi relatively short ; tongue 

 moderate, ^'estiture hairy. In the shape of the wings there is a resem- 

 blance to Heliophila. The feet, face and thorax in front are flushed with 

 pink. The species was collected by Prof Snow, and is probably flower- 

 haunting, as is Florida. I named it for my little daughter, who takes an 

 intelligent interest in natural objects, and who came to me when her 

 mother was taken away, now more than ten years ago. 



I. Juha Gr. New Mexico. 



Anarta Ochs. 



I have referred to this genus three species, Fro/iiulsa, Nivaria and 

 Submariiia, which differ from Mdmestra and Dianthoecia by the untufted 

 abdomen and hairy and longer vestiture. The hairy eyes are full but the 

 general form is more like Anarta ; the habitat of the first two is that of 

 elevated regions in the Rocky Mountains or Colorado. I have examined 

 the types of Orthosia perpura and Mamestra curta of Mr. Morrison. 

 The eyes appeared hairy (under a pocket lens) and the species the same. 

 In my own mind no doubt exists that they are both referable to my Anaj-fa 

 nivaria. This could not be inferred from the way in which they were 

 described. The specimens are too poor to be perhaps certain that they 

 belong to Nivaria. I cannot regard Promuha as a Dianthoecia, and 

 Mr. Morrison himself says : " We refer this interesting species to
