The a)U)ny of tropical inserts at the southern extremity of the Kloridian 

 Peninsula is one of exceeding interest. The nn^re nuiscular insects such 

 as Sphingid;^ and Noctuidte seem to he often the same species as the 

 West Indian. There is jjrobably a constant accession of fresh blood. I 

 do not separate the Florida Eihoanhii of Butler from Cuban Alope. But 

 the feebler winged Bombyces and Geometrids seem to differ slightly and 

 seem to have undergone a local modification. My notes on the fauna of 

 the Peninsula are not yet ready for publication, but they show some re- 

 markable results parallel with my already pubHshed studies of the distribu- 

 tion of the Lepidoptera. 



ScoLEcocAMPA Obscura, n. s. 



Fore wings ochrey fuscous with an interrupted black terminal line, two 

 dots on the cell and indications of a rounded, bent, single outer median 

 line. Thorax like i)rimaries. Hind wings dark fuscous. Beneath paler, 

 without markings on either wing. Palpi obHquely ascending, fuscous. 

 AntenUcT pale. One specimen. Coll. B. Neumoegen, Esq. Arizona. 

 Allied to Bipiiiida, but darker and stouter. 



Phasiaxk Irrorata Pack. 



A large specimen of this species, which may be known by the broad 

 pale yellowish median bands, is contained in Mr. Neumoegen's collection 

 from Arizona. 



SEMKriHisA S-sioNATA Pack. 



Arizona specimens vary by the wings being pale ochrey without marks 

 except the black, curved inferior portion of the outer line. Again all 

 marked with dark blotches. The S-shaped black line is more even than in 

 Packard's tigure, but I do not think there is room to suspect a different 

 species. 



SEMIOIHISA COI.ORATA, n. s. 



This is smaller but in form like Ocelliiiata. No discal mark on fore 

 wings, which show three dark costal spots, the lines obsolete. The wing 

 is washed with faint reddish ochrey. Subterminal line cloudy, V)lackish 

 continuous, tipright. followed by a ])aler shade. Hind wings light gray, 

 with but little of the warmer tint of ]jrimaries ; a discal jioint. Beneath 

 with discal marks on both wings, and with a well marked subterminal band 

 on the whitish secondaries. On fore wings above the terminal space shows 

 an irregular blackish shading. External margin even. Wings sparsely
