black, distinct on fore wings. Outer line narrow, distinct, discally bent ; 

 subterminal shading obvious. On the secondaries there is a discal mark, 

 a central narrow uneven line and terminal shading ; fringes white with 

 faint interline. On fore wings the fringes are here whitish at base. Body 

 whitish beneath, above fuscous. Expanse 33 mil. Prof. Snow, Kansas, 

 number 371. 



This species is wider winged and smaller bodied than cupes, differs by 

 the presence of the large claviform and in the armature of the fore tibiae. 

 The fuscous margin of the hind wings above is much more broken up 

 with pale blotches than in umbrosus and phlogopliagus. 



Fam. Tineid.e. 



For Dr. Clemens' genus Hamadryas, preoccupied in the Lepidoptera 

 by Hiibner and Boisduval, I propose the generic name Euclemensia for 

 E. Basscttdla. 



NOTES UPON GRAPTAS COMMA AND INTERROGATIONS. 



BY W. H. EDWARDS, COALBURGH, W. VA. 



I. COMMA; dimorphic forms HARRISII and DRYAS, both 

 figured in But. N. A., Vol. 1. 



In Can. Ent., v., 184, Oct., 1873, I gave the result of breeding this 

 species from eggs laid by the form dryas, viz., 6 dryas, but many more of 

 Harris//, establishing the dimorphism. Since that time I have raised 

 several broods from the egg, and both before and after 1873 recorded in 

 my journal the history of several lots of larva? found by me. I have 

 therefore some material for illustrating the peculiarities of the species. At 

 Coalburgh there are three broods annually, and the butterflies of the third 

 brood hybernate. The hybernating females deposit their eggs last of 

 April or early in May, and the first brood of the butterflies emerges from 

 chrysalis about 1st June ; but should the weather be cold during May, 

 then from the middle to last of June.
