AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 21 



continuously terminally where the veins are marked with blackish. A double 

 narrow interrupted terminal line. T. p. line followed by a paler shade render- 

 ing it very distinct. % secondaries wholly whitish, 9 darkly bordered, crossed 

 by a faint post median and distinct terminal line ; fringes whitish. Beneath, 

 thet.p. line on primaries is faintly marked as is the transverse line on second- 

 aries superiorly; marginal interrupted lines distinct. Expanse 30 to 32 mm. 



Habitat. — Canada, New York State. 



Varies in the more or less evident pallor of the collar and costal re- 

 gion of primaries. I have bred this species from larvae found on the 

 common honeysuckle Saunders Collection, No. 631. — Differs much 

 from its congeners in appearance. The white % secondaries are some- 

 what pellucid. 



2. Emmelia (agrophila) apicella, m.— % 9 .—Head and thorax 

 above orange ferruginous ; this color extends over the primaries obliquely down- 

 ward at base. Beyond this, and margining it, a pale, whitish shade runs ob- 

 liquely downwardly and is continued vaguely along the internal margin ; 

 apices with a similar distinct oblique patch, while the extreme costal edge is 

 tipped with ferruginous ; else the primaries are blackish as are the fringes ex- 

 cept along the whitish apical patch. Hind wings and abdomen above blaekish. 

 Beneath the body parts are whitish. Expanse 16 to 18 mm. 



Habitat. — Central Alabama ; June. 



This little species is not rare, occurring with A. leo and A. dama, 

 Guenee. It is very distinct in its ornamentation from any of GueneVs 

 species, of which it is possible there are in reality only two, A. onagrus 

 being perhaps identical with A. leo. Under a microscope the blackish 

 portion of the primaries above in apicella are seen to be dusted with 

 pale scales. There are no traces of the ordinary spots and lines. 



EUTOREUMA, m. 



The porrect pointed palpi extend for half their length beyond the 

 head. Front with a large rounded clypeal swelling, filling up the 

 space between the eyes. Minute black ocelli. Maxillae moderate. % 

 antennae minutely and finely bristled. Abdomen long, linear. Thorax 

 compact and squared. Wings angulate. Forewings produced at apices 

 and extremity of vein 4. Veins 3, 4, 5, equidistant at base. Cell 

 open ; veins 6 and 7 together from s. c. nervure opposite 5. Vein 8 

 shortly out of 9 to apex. Veias 9 and 8 approximate. Vein 10 out 

 of 9 to costa; 11 running close to s. c. nervure and 10 to costa. Hind 

 wings with vein 5 equally strong; external margin rounded, cut away 

 at anal angle from vein 1. Middle tibiae with terminal, and hind 

 tibiae with two pair of unequal spurs. A species of moderate size, 

 with dark discolorous collar elevated in front, close squamation, naked
