B'usck — Notes on Some Toriricid Genera 179 



Tliis species was labeled alpbuina Treitschke, in the Museum collection 

 and is the species recorded as such in Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., Vol. xxiii, p. 

 929, but is quite distinct from that species ; the European species is smaller, 

 has a darker yellow and differently formed dorsal spot and is strongly 

 suffused with yellow on the entire wing, while hntaita is merely irrorated 

 with yellow on the apical half.

Palpi white. Head dark gray. Foie wings dark brown, varied with 

 whitish along the inner margin towards the base, with an oblique dorsal 

 wliite patch, terminating in the ocelloid patch, with a slender, irregular, 

 dark brown line on its middle, and one or two spots on the dorsal edge of 

 the wing. The costa is streaked with white, slightly silvery; beyond the 

 middle of the wing are one or two purplish hued lines, one of which around 

 the ocelloid patch, where it becomes somewhat diffuse. The ocelloid patch 

 is ocherous, with three black streaks and is nearly in the middle of the 

 apical portion of the wing, with a white spot adjoining and beneath it. 

 Hinder border with three or four terminal black spots above the internal 

 angle. Hindwings dark fuscous, grayish towards the base. (Clemens.) 



I am unacquainted with this species in nature, but it must be quite close 

 to the foregoing species, hriiana, from which, however, the descri])tion dif- 

 fers in several particulars. 



Hahiiat. — Pennsylvania? (Fernald.)

Palpi dull ocherous, fuscous at the tip. Head brownish ocherous. Fore 

 wings [in males with costal fold reaching beyond basal third] brown with 

 a slight brassy hue, with an ocherous dorsal blotch, plain in the male and 

 striated with brownish in the female. Costa streaked with ocherous and 

 with two slightly violet-hued streaks from the costa, one running beneath 

 the tip and the other to a fiiint ocelloid patch, behind whicli, on the hinder 

 margin, are three black spots. Tiie apical portion of the wing is varied 

 with ocherous. Hind wings fuscous, white on the costa. (Clemens.) 



Habitat. — Baltimore, Md.; Easton, Pa. (Clemens). 



In U. S. Nat. Mus. are specimens from Anglesea, N. J. (Kearfott) ; Jean- 

 ette. Pa. (Klages), and District of Columbia (Busck). 



Allied to alpinana Treitschke, but differing in the form of the dorsal spot. 



Hemimene bittana sp. nov. 



Labial palpi yellow, with tip of brush and terminal joint dark fuscous. 

 Face and head fuscous. Thorax light yellowish brown. Fore wings in
