longer in this, not unlike typical Plagodis. Floscularia is of a brilliant 

 yellow color, without inner line on fore wings ; the outer line vague, nearly 

 straight. There is an apical red-brown dot ; the outer line red-brown on 

 costa, followed by a pinkish-violet patch at internal angle. Hind wings 

 concolorous, hardly paler yellow with linear patch at anal angle. A 

 tender pinkish-violet shade on costa of fore wings above ; at base marked 

 costally with dark brown. Body yellow ; face pinkish. Venter reddish- 

 pink. Beneath also yellow with markings repeated. The $ type of 

 Floscularia is in the collection of Mr. G. R. Pilate. 



Plagodis Resaria G. & R. 



This species is figured by Dr. Packard as the Epione Seritiaria of 

 Guenee, and referred to Plagodis. Our name for the insect was distributed 

 now many years ago. One unset and somewhat defective type in my 

 collection. Others must be in Central Park or in collections of corre 

 spondents. The species was named by us in 1867 or thereabouts. This 

 insect is ochrey yellow and purely pink, not lilac or violet tinted, and 

 without the red apical mark of Floscularia. 



Nematocampa Expunctaria Grote. 



Dr. Packard refers this to Filanientaria, without knowing my type from 

 Alabama. This type is either in Philadelphia or in the Peabody Museum, 

 Salem, to the best of my recollection. The texture of the wings seemed 

 ^o me different, less smooth, closer and heavier than its ally. It appeared 

 to me a decidedly distinct and a little larger species. I believe when the 

 type is examined that it will be found a different species from Filanientaria, 

 but as I have not met it again, I am unable to add anything to my original 

 description. Can. Ent., iv., loi, 1872. 



Helioniata Grote. 



Of the three lovely species belonging to this genus, Infulata and 

 Cycladata are figured by Dr. Packard, and I have seen several specimens 

 of them since originally figuring and describing them in the "Proceedings 

 of the Entomological Society of Philadelphia." But the third, Elaboratai 

 I have not seen again. The type is, I believe, in Philadelphia ; I think 

 my figure and description will serve to identify the species. The species 

 of this genus are probably more or less active by day. They seem to be 

 quite rare, for I have seldom met them in collections. I think I have 

 seen Cycladata oftener than its ally. I have never been fortunate enough 

 to find them myself
