brown costal shade. Surmounting the internal angle are four super- 

 posed white spots, all ringed with dark brownish, of which the upper 

 and lowermost are much reduced, the former probably sometimes obso- 

 lete, as it is on one side in the present individual, though the encircling 

 brown ringlet is present ; the two central spots are distinct, large, irreg- 

 ularly rounded, the lower the larger; a geminate terminal brown line. 

 Fringes ochreous, interrupted with paler towards the tips. Posterior 

 wings dull brownish, pulverulent, without markings; fringes ochrace- 

 ous, interrupted with a paler shade towards the tips, ruder surface 

 ochraccous brownish, paler along external margin of anterior wings. 

 Head, thorax and tegulse pale ochraceous, the latter the darker. Abdo- 

 men darker than legs, latter concolorous with thorax. % Exp. .95 inch.

I think this is distinct from Dr. Packard's C. geminata and C. albi- 

 punctata ; it is a darker colored insect than the former, which it most 

 nearly resembles, while the four ringed white spots on internal angle 

 offer a distinctive feature from both these species, than either of which 

 it appears to be larger.

 Leptina formosa. n. sp. 



Anterior wings mostly whitish, costal margin straight; the whitish 

 humeral space, with a faint roseate tinge, instead of being confined to 

 its customary place in the genus, spreads along the costa and especially 

 at the center about one-half the entire length of the wing, irregularly 

 margined with a blackish shade, to the reniform spot, which latter is 

 of the normal shape, ringed with a darker line, somewhat indistinct. 



A pale aereous brown shade occupies a large space on internal mar- 

 gin, darker where it margins the basal whitish shade, and extends from 

 near the base to the subterininal line at internal angle, showing a few 

 scattered black scales. 



The transverse lines are crowded together towards the external mar- 

 gin, the t. a. absent ; subterininal line whitish, broad, margined by two 

 narrow blackish lines of which the internal is dentate towards its center, 

 most distinct at internal angle where it is narrowest, becoming confused 

 above in the greyish white shade that fills the subterminal space. Termi- 

 nal line blackish, evenly curved, very distinct and further removed 

 from the margin than in the other species of the genus, margined out- 

 wardly by a linear pale shade. Posterior wings pale blackish, immac- 

 ulate. 



Under surface of both pair similar to upper surface of posterior 

 wings, concolorous. immaculate.
