Capis Curvata, Grote. 



Mrs. C. A. Fernald has kindly sent me a male which I have examined 

 and given all the structural characters possible, but those previously given 

 would allow of the genus being placed next to Sisyrhypciia in a synopsis. 



BvssoDE.s Obrus.sata, Grote. 



A well marked male in Mr. Neumoegen's collection from Indian River 

 has the fascia bright yellow ; on hind wings the red spots reduced and an 

 orange border to the wing, running also outside the metallic band. The 

 color of the common band varies in depth, ^'eins on secondaries some- 

 times marked with yellow.

 with purple, which is gathered into larger patches subterminally and about 

 anal angle. A discal dot. Hind wings with a purple straight line bordered 

 by a small dark spot before anal angle. Beneath the line is repeated more 

 diffusely and above the wing is washed with purplish before line, die color
