78 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



apical ciliae of fore wings white. Thorax above and the anal tuft bronzy 

 brown, with a deep purplish lustre ; under surface white. Legs white 

 tinged with fuscous on their anterior surfaces, especially so at the apex of 

 the tibiae and on the tarsi. On the fore wings behind the middle are a 

 very few white scales, forming an indistinct, short, transverse, white line. 

 Al. ex. 5 lines. Taken at the light at Cincinnati, Ohio. 



This and the three species described by Dr. Clemens are closely allied 

 structurally and in ornamentation, and yet it is difficult to separate them 

 structurally from the heterogenous assemblage of insects known as 

 Gelechia. 



ON A NEW ARCTIAN FROM FLORIDA. 



BY A. R. GROTE, BUFFALO, N. Y. 



The student is referred to my papers on the Bombycidae of Cuba for 

 remarks on a generic group closely allied to Halisidota ( Halesidota ) which 

 I have called Euhalisidota, describing under it the species luxa, fasciata, 

 scripta and alternata. Closely allied to the first of these is a species from 

 Florida, the male of which I have from Mr. Schwarz, the female from Mr. 

 Dury. It is hardly so large, and without the black thoracic marks, although 

 I can make out two black points on the collar in one specimen. It seems 

 to differ by the streak of dusky speckles about the median vein at the 

 extremity of the cell, and the distinct subterminal series of isolated black 

 dots. The color is dusky ochre, with the thorax darker and the inside of 

 the fore tibiae orange. The male antennas are bipectinate. The second, 

 aries are paler, with a slight apical mark in the male. 



It must be remembered that my type from Cuba was a little rubbed. In 

 comparing my figure and the present female specimen I think there is a 

 great probability of the species being the same. The object of the present 

 notice is to record the occurrence of the group in the United States, and 

 to show that the West Indian fauna must be well understood before we 

 describe, as new, species from the extremity of the Floridian peninsula. 



Mr. Schwarz captured the male Euhalisidota at Enterprise, May 26, 

 together with several other interesting moths, some of which I have already 

 mentioned in this journal, and others I hope to be able to publish on a 

 future occasion.
