cence similar to Tolype ; hind wings concoloroua, with a gray band at the mid- 

 dle of the wing on costal region; body darker than wings; antennae with the 

 stem gray above.

It gives me great plcusure to name this species after ]\rr. C. V.

$ . — Antennae simple ; palpi porrect ; thorax of a greenish brown or gray ; 

 abdomen large, exceeding the hind wings, having a dorsal tuft at its base, in 

 color a pale fuscous ; primaries bright olivaceous ; median lines bright brown ; 

 basal line black, distinct, running on to posterior border ; space between basal 

 and inner median line strongly tinged with green ; both median lines double, 

 lunulated, black, including a light brown shade; a semi-lunar black streak at 

 the disc, its convexity towards the thorax, the space between it and the gemi- 

 nate outer median line is pale. In its general course the outer median line is 

 twice equally exserted, first on s. c. nervules and again on median nervules, 

 running inwardly below the median vein, when it approaches more nearly the 

 inner line. Subterminally the wing is whitish, relieving the irregular, discon- 

 nected subterminal line, which appears as black, interspaceal points or streaks. 

 The terminal line is fine, a little waved, the terminal space being again green- 

 ish or bright olivaceous as are the fringes, which are faintly cut with black at 

 extremity of the veins. Beneath fuscous, with four or five black dots on the 

 costa near the apex ; at base very hairy ; broad, diHuse, darker shadings in the 

 center of wing, and a diS'use, continued darker, subterminal shade, limited out- 

 wardly by the paler, whitish terminal space ; black markings on the fringes at 

 the termination of the veins. Secondaries cinereous, paler at base, approaching 

 to olivaceous, fringes nearly white, with black dots ; below concolorous, though 

 of a lighter shade ; a black dash at the basal angle. The S differs from the $ 

 by the sub-terminal line being more undulatory, by the less prominently con- 

 trasting brown and whitish shades beyond the cell subterminally, while the 

 antennae are pectinate.

Four specimens collected by ]Mr. Grote in central Alabama. 

 Smaller than //. oUiqua and //. astarte, to which it is allied, 



Heterocampa ccltiphag'a, Jlarvey, Plate 11, fig. 3 .s . 



f, — Smaller than H. subrotata ; antennae pectinate ; palpi dependant, thickly 

 hirsute ; thorax dark ashen ; abdomen paler, becoming dark ashen towards the 

 tip ; primaries dark olivaceous ashen, almost approaching to black. All the 

 lines light brown and narrow and similar to H. subrotata, in their conforma-
