up by the Lepidopterists of Cuba. It is smaller than, and evidently 

 different from, our United States E. scribonia, Hiibner, while it more 

 nearly approaches our species than does E. albicornis. 



EUHALISIDOTA. Grote. 



Euhalisidota fasciata n. s. (Plate 5, fig. 7,% , 8, ? •) 



% . Pale yellowish testaceous. Anterior wings, pale, yellowish tes- 

 taceous, crossed by six bands defined by geminate, acutely dentate 

 and slightly irregular and interrupted brown lines, which are also 

 slightly powdery or atomical; the spaces between these Hues is more 

 yellowish and deeper colored than the ground of the wing. Base 

 stained with brownish. In the first band, the geminate lines are 

 widest apart, and apparently discontinued below the internal nervure. 

 The second, is more irregular, and narrows below the median nervure, 

 continued with the rest to internal margin. The third, crossing the 

 discal cell and the middle of the wing, is most regular and evenly 

 dentated. The fourth, is irregular, and the lines are more confused ; 

 it forms an inward curve at the extremity of the discal cell, running 

 thence constrictedly, the lines approximate, to internal margin. The 

 fifth, is again wider, more regularly serrate and even in its width. 

 The sixth, rests on internal margin, and the lines are more interrupted, 

 the outer being sub-obsolete. On the interspace above the first me- 

 dian nervule is a macular agglomeration of brown scales, which is of 

 specific importance. The costal region is more yellowish than the rest 

 of the wing included by the geminate lines. Beneath, the wing is dull 

 testaceous, costal region stained with dull, pale brownish ; basally, the 

 markings are obsolete; but terminally, the geminate lines of the upper 

 surface are reproduced, superiorly most distinctly. 



Posterior wings, pale yellowish testaceous, with a faint, brownish 

 tinge inferiorly along internal margin ; this darker shade is, however, 

 diffuse and indistinctly limited. A small, pale, brownish discal spot at 

 the extremity of the discal cell, immediately beyond which is a sub- 

 macular, interrupted, pale brownish median band, apparent centrally 

 but discontinued towards internal margin below the fourth m. nervule. 

 Under surface paler than upper; on the costa, within its middle, a 

 brownish maculation. The median band of the upper surface is here 

 much more distinct and characteristic. It is interspaceal and broken 

 above the discal fold; the discal dot is plainly part of the second clus- 

 ter of brown spots, which form the lower part of the median band ; 

 the latter is curved at the extremity of the discal cell so as to include it. 

 Fringes short, concolorous with the wing on both pair. Head, large-
