Briseis. aiul then to re-dtscribe its prol)al)ly more usual form as a new 

 species. 



Catocala Arizon/E. 



This has the fore wings more purely brown, a reddish or rust) brown, 

 no \-ellow admixture. The whole wing is tinted with a brownish shade 

 and there is not the di\ ision of colors as in Jundura. The hind wings 

 are pinkish red and the abbreviate band broader than '\\\ Jimdura. Thus 

 there is a certain resemblance to A/natrix, which I alluded to in my 

 original descri|)tion. Although without figures these differences cannot be 

 brought out in words as the}- should be, a study of Mr. Neumoegen's fine 

 material will convince any student of the correctness of my separation. 



Catocala Walshil 



This species as found in Kansas and Illinois, also in New Mexico, 

 seems to me identical with Aspasia. Arizoiue is a larger, rich brown 

 species reared in Arizona by Mr. Doll and probably identical with the 

 Texan form which has beeJi distributed by Belfrage as " IVa/s/iii." This 

 Texan form is not the true Walshii, and while it has not received a special 

 name. I regard it as a variety of Arizoiue. AV'alker'sy////r////-iZ, according 

 to Mr. Butler, is — WalsJiii as taken by Prof Snow. The statement that 

 ArizoHce was = Walshii is based on an erroneous identification of the 

 latter species, which appears to have l)een named three times. 



Catocala Juxctuka Walk. 



Fore wings dusky gray, shaded with yellowish brown over the reniform 

 and subterminal space. Base yellowisli brown shaded, though often this 

 latter tint is confined to the double t. a. line. The two colors are blended 

 so that there is no distinctness in the shading. The dentate s. t. line in- 

 cludes a paler gray shade. Hind wings pinkish red with the median band 

 rather narrow, abbreviate. Expanse 80 mil. Illinois; Ky. ; Missouri; 

 Kansas ; New Mexico. 



With this, IVahhii \\ . H. Edwards, and Aspasia Strecker, are in my 

 opinion absolutely identical. Types in coll. B. Neumoegen, Esq. Taken 

 by Prof F. H. SnoAv. 



A form collected by Belfrage in 'J'exas. in Mr. Neumoegen's collection 

 and labelled '* IVa/s/iii" may be a \ar. of that species, it is larger. 



I do not wish to name any more varieties in this genus, but in Mr. 

 Neumoegen's grand collection there are two specimens wliich seem to me
