sustain a somewhat similar relation to Halisidota, HUbner, with that 

 born by Leucarctia, Packard, to Spilosoma, Stephens. It is an out- 

 growth, so to speak, with fresh affinities. 



I indicate the existence of another species of Euhalisidota, allied to 

 V). fasciata and E. scripta, from a $ specimen sent me by Dr. Gund- 

 lach. under the Numbers ||§, and which differs from the former 

 b\ the uniform testaceous clay-colored primaries and by the continuity 

 of the geminate lines. From E. scripta, this species differs by the 

 immaculate legs and the faiuter markings of the primaries above. 

 This specimen is similarly sized with E. fasciata, though perhaps a 

 little stouter. I leave its description and elimination to the Cuban 

 student. 



Euhalisidota scripta, n. s. (Plate 5, fig. 9, 9-) 



9 . Size, moderate. Primaries, yellowish testaceous of a rather 

 dull or obscure shade, covered by six very distinct bands defined by 

 geminate brown lines, within which the spaces are filled in with darker 

 scales than the ground color of the wing, and often brownish or but little 

 paler than the lines themselves. The first of these bands, at base, is 

 prominently dentate on median nervure. The interspace is dull yel- 

 lowish. The second and third bands, before the middle of the wing, 

 are approximate and fused five times, as near as may be, leaving the 

 ground color of the wing to appear as paler spots between them. 

 Their interspaces are clouded with brownish. The fourth band, with 

 the fifth and sixth, is more oblique and is narrow, confused, somewhat 

 irregular and constricted, most strongly filled in with brown, so as to 

 render the marginal geminate lines indistinct. On internal margin 

 the inner of the marginal lines joins the outer marginal line of the 

 third band, so that the space between the third and fourth bands, where 

 the paler ground color of the wing obtains, is broadest at costa, and 

 tapers deutatedly to internal margin. The fifth and sixth bands are 

 distinctly margined, broad (the marginal lines being wider apart), and 

 but little darker than the ground color of the wing. Under surface 

 pale testaceous; the markings of the upper surface are here faintly 

 reproduced. Secondaries, testaceous ; towards the base and along in- 

 ternal margin, the scales become denser and longer and are of an 

 obscure, pale brownish testaceous hue. Under surface paler, with 

 brown, costal marks. Palpi, rather small, yellowish testaceous, with 

 linearily arranged brownish scales on their outer surface. Maxillae, as 

 usual, moderate, opaque brownish. Head, yellowish testaceous; be- 

 tween the antennal insertions, stained with brownish. Collar with
