Thalpochares Fortiinata, n. s. 



Size small. Front embossed. Vestiture of flattened scales. Aspect 

 of Patiila. Fore wings deep yellow, shading to whitish over head and 

 thorax, and with a pale terminal even shade line. Primaries with no 

 markings except a prominent broad, leaden-hued, bent median band, 

 edged with pale, resting on inner margin and expiring on cell at about the 

 place of the reniform. Hind wings translucent, stained with yellow ; 

 fringes whitish. Beneath the body is white and the immaculate wings 

 suffused with deep yellow. Arizona, Coll. B. Neumoegen. 



Thalpochares Perita, ii. s. 



Allied to Forfunafa ; wings a little narrower. Eyes naked ; clypeus 

 full. Fore wings pale yellow to a leaden band situate outside of the pale 

 t. p. line, which is illegible ; terminally the wing is clear buff yellow. Hind 

 wings translucent, stained with yellow. Body white beneath. Wings 

 stained with deep yellow. The band on primaries is oblique, rather 

 narrow and expires before costal region. Arizona. Coll. B Neumoegen. 



Melideptria Celeris Grote. 



A true Melideptria, as I find from a fresh example in Mr. Neumoegen's 

 collection. Hind wings brilliant orange red, concolorous. Fore wings 

 with the usual pale blotches confined to a couple of pale spots at middle, 

 vinous purple, slightly overlaid with sericeous. Thorax with the usual 

 silky, olive or yellowish, hair. Abdomen blackish above. It may head 

 the series as arranged in my " New Check List."
