Phaki;.arista Sevorsa Grote. 



I find that my Feiiaria Sevorsa is a member of this tropical genus, 

 hitherto undetected in our territory. Our species may be known by the 

 yellow undotted hind wings with their even black border, and the details 

 of the markings of primaries, w^hen compared with the East Indian P. 

 Transiens, in which the sexes differ in markings. The single specimen 

 which I had to describe from has the body somewhat flattened by acci- 

 dental pressure, which assisted my mistake in the location of the insect. 

 It is otherwise bright and fresh. The genus was not known to me in 

 nature previously, and the mistake was an easy one under the circum- 

 stances, the species looking much like Lederer's C/irysaugiJee.

^ $ . Four specimens of this distinct species, the males with a bright 

 brown mesial band on primaries above, are in Mr. Neumoegen's collec- 

 tion from Montana, taken by ^h. Morrison. 



Melipotis Nigrescens G. & R. 



The male of this species is unquestionably Flavipennis Harv. The 

 species is perfectly distinct from Hubnefs Fasciolaris. 



Melipotis Stvgialis Gr. 



Two specimens in Mr. Neumogen's collection vary in size. This 

 species and M. Sintialis Harvey may be foimd to fall in with previously 

 described West Indian forms. 



Meliputls Versabilis Harvey. 



Two specimens in Mr. Neumoegen's collection make me think that
