THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 33 



piidia may be identical with Oribates of Hy. Edwards, described more 

 recentl}'. I have seen the type of O. Versutus, and, without being able, to 

 compare it, it seemed to me identical with my previously published Tri- 

 pudia Jiavofasciata Grote, Can. Ent., 1877, p. 69. The type of Tripudia 

 is this species, to which I have joined quadrifera of Zeller, from Texas, as 

 a second. Whether the orange species Miiirii and limbatus belong here 

 can be ascertained by proper dissections, which should be undertaken as 

 soon as possible. 



The species of Spragueia have received two interesting additions since 

 the publication of the List. The first of these is Pardalis^ collected in 

 Florida by Mr. Thaxter. It is allied to dania by the orange fringe of pri- 

 maries interrupted with dark opposite the cell. The costal spots are 

 smaller and pale \ the wing is blacker and there is a pale costal spot at 

 base, wanting in its ally. 



The second species is Funeralis from Arizona, collected by Mr. Doll. 

 It is of a peculiar silky dark leaden hue, with concolorous fringes. A 

 large pale spot outside the t. p. line on costa. Two pale bands enclosing 

 orange lines and swelling into wider spots at costa, where the outer band 

 encloses a dark streak. The species are similarly sized and are very 

 interesting from their brightly marked and narrow primaries. While 

 recalling the European Erotyla sulphuralis in ornamentation, they are 

 structurally distinct, as I have shown (1. c). Our North American 

 species are now as follows :
