no. 1645. REVISION OF CERTAIN VOCTUIDJE— SMITH. 257 



Habitat. — Webster, New Hampshire, in May; Indian River, 

 Florida. 



Only two males and two females of this very distinct and handsome 

 species are at present before me. I know of a few others in collections 

 and they are as a rule correctly determined. There is little variation 

 represented other than that incidentally mentioned in the description, 

 and there is no apparent difference between the sexes. 



The spinulation of the middle tibia is distinct in both sexes, and in 

 one of the females there are two distinct spines between the two pairs 

 of spurs. The middle femora of the male are conspicuously thick- 

 ened, and the fringing of long hair incloses a large mass of specialized 

 scales. 



In the male the genitalia are very like the others of this series, 

 offering only differences in detail rather than in type, and best shown 

 by a comparison of the figures. 



In the female the depressions of the upper surface of the terminal 

 segment are well marked and the lobes of the under side are well 

 marked and decidedly asymmetrical. The right lobe is much the 

 smaller and the opening to the copulatory pouch is from the upper 

 inner angle, but all from the upper margin, so that it is well to the 

 right of the middle. 



All things considered, this is one of the most brilliant of our species 

 and I strongly suspect that when more material is available, it will 

 be found that Mr. Morrison's name cinerea will be found applicable. 



PHjEOCYMA LARGERA, new species. 



Bluish ash-gray over a pale chocolate-brown base. Head brown. 

 Collar with a darker brown line medially and at tip, edged with gray 

 scales. Thorax with alternate gray and brown lines. Abdominal 

 tuf tings small. Primaries as a whole gray, all the markings more or 

 less well defined in brown or blackish, not contrasting. Basal line 

 brown, broad, inwardly diffuse. T. a. line single, brown, diffuse, 

 irregular, as a whole inwardly oblique. Median shade very distinct, 

 inwardly bordered by a darker brown or blackish line which is almost 

 upright in effect, feebly bisinuate in course, outwardly shading off to 

 the ground just before the t. p. line inferiorly, and at the reniform in 

 the cell. The reniform is a very distinct, narrow, blackish lunule, 

 which may be preceded by pale scales and is followed by a rusty 

 yellowish shading. Orbicular a small black dot. T. p. line single, 

 brown, diffuse, irregular, outwardly curved over the cell, moderately 

 indented opposite the reniform, deeply incurved below the cell. S. t. 

 line a brown diffuse shading, inwardly in whole or part edged with 

 blackish scales, forming obvious outward teeth on veins 3 and 4, a 

 lunule between them, with a slight incurve to the margins; that to- 

 ward inner margin being most marked. There is a narrow brown
