anal angle is free from black scales. Fringes white ; no median band. Be- 

 neath the wings are of a lighter yellow, hoary on the costa, a faint median 

 band terminating at the disc ; the terminal band ill defined.

Diflfers from Guenee's description of messalina by the eoncoh")r- 

 oiis collar and by the obsolescence of all markings on the primaries, 

 as well apparently by its larger size, Avhile the cut of the wings 

 sensibly differs from andropliila and allies. 



Named for Mr. G. W. Belfrage, whose scientific collections in 

 Texas are Avidely appreciated, and have greatly increased our knowl- 

 edge of our fauna. 



Reinigia hexastylus, n. s. 



t, . — This is a large species which has the hind feet provided with flattened 

 hair " en nageoire." It cannot be the marcida of Guenee, because this author 

 says : " Toutes les lignes peu marquees," etc. The fore wings are somewhat 

 pale lilac gray with the costal edge dusky, powdered finely and sparsely with 

 black dots. Usually there is a fine black dot before the t. a. line which 

 readily escapes attention. The basal half-line can be perceived. The median 

 lines are distinct, continued, ochre brown ; the t. a. line with an anterior pale 

 shade, a little concave. The t. p. line straight, shortly rounded on costal 

 region. Median space free from the lines which distinguish latipes. Reni- 

 form large, concolorous, a fine and wide blackish annulus from the inner and 

 lower angle of which the undulated median shade descends to internal mar- 

 gin ; sometimes the shade line is double. There is no " tache en palette." A 

 subterminal series of nervular points ; fringes dark. Secondaries a little paler, 

 somewhat yellowish at base, with darker terminal shading and an exterior 

 shade, recalling those of Drasteria. 



Expanse, 47 m. ni. Hah., Canada to Texas. 



The species determined in the Collection as latipes is more vari- 

 able in color and slighter in form. It has the median space covered 

 by fine lines, and on internal margin in some specimens a blackish 

 discoloration.

5 . — This species resembles latipes in all characters except that the subter- 

 n.inal line is not straight in its general course, but is slightly sinuous ; and 

 that the "tache en palette," below the reniform, fuses with the t. p. line, so
