are geminate, black or blackish, interrupted or indistinct, tlie t. p. line not 

 much esserted opposite the cell, followed by a double series of black nervular 

 Ijoints. Subterminal line pale, preceded by interspaceal cuneiform dark shade 

 marks. Terminal line black, interspaceal, interrupted, even. Fringes concoi- 

 orous with the wing. Hind wings blackish fuscous in either sex, a little pa- 

 ler at the base, with the discal lunule of the under surface reflected. Fringes 

 pale with dark interior line. Beneath ochery gray, irrorate, fore wings mostly 

 fuscous shaded, with double lines and discal lunules. 



Expanse, 26 to 27 m.m. St. Catharines, Ontario (from Geo. Nor- 

 man, Esq., collected in July). I refer to this species specimens 

 from New York and the Eastern States which have paler ochery 

 fore wings and which in this respect appear intermediate between 

 this and the following form. 



Taeuiosea perbellis, Grote. 



^ . — Very different in color from the preceding, more distinctly marked and 

 pale and brighter tinted. The size is perhaps a little larger, and the fore 

 wings more produced at apices. The ground color is whitish ocher or ocher 

 gray, shaded with blackish at base, over costal region and on subterminal space 

 of the fore wings, leaving the terminal space and the median space before the 

 median shade nearly free. Lines black, single or obsoletely geminate, the inner 

 line being wanting to the scalloped and distinct t. a. line, and the outer very 

 faint to the luuulate t. p. line. This latter is angulate above the reniform 

 which it closely surrounds, shows a depression opposite the cell and is again 

 slightly angulate on median vein. It appears to run nearer the reniform than 

 in T. gentilis. The double veins of points beyond the t. p. line are not promi- 

 nent but brought into relief by noticeable interrupting Avhite dots. On the dark 

 costal region of the sub-terminal space the three ante-apical pale dots are ap- 

 parent. The preceding brown tinged cuneiform shades to the subterminal line 

 are obvious, the line itself lost. The stigmata are pale, concolorous, the cell 

 between them tinged with bright ferruginous and the distinct median shade is 

 mostly of the same tint. The black terminal line is reduced to interspaceal 

 points. The black terminal line is reduced to interspaceal points. The fringes 

 are bright carneous, gay colored and contrasting. Hind wings a little paler 

 than in T. gentilis, with a terminal black interrupted line perceivable and the 

 fuscous color intruded upon by paler on the outer border before anal angle. 

 Beneath much as in T. gentilis. 



Eximnse, 30 m. m. 



Of tliis beautiful insect Mr. Norman has taken but a single speci- 

 men at St. Catharines. It seems to differ by the details of the orna- 

 mentation of the fore wings from the type of the genus with which 

 it accords structurally. The fore wings are rougher looking, not so 

 smooth and the ornamentation is very evident and distinct.
