with the exterior margin. Secondaries white, edged with brown 

 on costa, and on exterior margin near and at anal angle. 



From one S received from Mr. Fish, taken in the vicinity of 

 Oldtown, in the State of Maine. 



In the old collection of Trexler, which came into my possession 

 about twent}' 3'ears since, was an example, in poor condition, which 

 I consider identical with the above ; recently I have received 

 several examples, males, from Mr. David Bruce, who took them 

 in Colorado. These I can consider nothing more than a variet}' 

 of the above ; the only difference being in the color of liead and 

 primaries, which in Trexler's and these Colorado examples is of 

 a slate-gray, and not biownish as in the Maine examples ; to pre- 

 vent, however, the misfortune of this variety being described as 

 a new species, I would designate it as L. EleganH var. Grisea. 



Lasiocampa gargamelle. 



3 9 in form and general resemblance allied to L. Pini. 



$ expands about 'i\ inches. Head and thorax brown, inter- 

 mixed with gray ; abdomen brown. 



Primaries obscure grayish, caused by an admixture of white 

 and brown hair and scales ; the basal third darker and more 

 brownish ; there is a tolerably broad outer margin wherein the 

 brownish shade also prevails, this is separated from the paler, 

 more ashen median space by an irregular zigzag brown line ; there 

 are also faint indications of two lines crossing the wing, one 

 subbasal and grayish, the other half-way between the discal spot 

 and the brown zigzag line, and scarcely perceptible ; discal spot 

 small, round and pure white. 



Secondaries brown, with a paler, somewhat ochraeeous mesial 

 band, fringe white. 



Under surface. All wings brown, with a common, rather broad 

 pale, ochraeeous median band. 



9 expands 3;^-3^ inches. Color has more of the brownish pre- 

 vailing. Character of the markings as in male, but less strongly 

 defined ; the median band of secondaries above, and all bands 

 beneath, narrower than in the other sex. 



Hah — Arizona. 



By American authors this insect would be placed in Packard's 

 genus Gloveria, the type of which was Gloveria Arizonenais ; there 

 is, however, nothing by which it can be separated from Lasio- 

 campo Latr. (Gastropacha O.).
