N. H. N. Y. viii, 435. There the genus Hcemorrhagia is elaborately 

 defined, and the species included are those with the generally deep 

 red or brown colors as contrasted to those forms in which yellow 

 forms the prevailing shade. This they divided as follows : 



Group I (Aberrant). 

 Discal cell of primaries free; vitreous field of secondaries crossed by five ner- 

 vules. Sp. 1. 

 Thorax beneath, with lateral red shades 1. H. gracilis. 



Group II (Typical). 

 Discal cell of primaries crossed by a longitudinal bar. 

 Vitreous field of secondaries crossed by six nervules. 



Inner margin of external band of % primaries dentate on the interspaces. 

 Sp. 2 and 3. 

 Abdomen shaded with olivaceous on the sides of the terminal segments. 



2. H. thysbc. 



Abdomen terminally entirely deep red 3. H. fuscicautlis. 



Inner margin of external baud of % primaries not dentate on the inter- 

 spaces. Sp. 4 and 5. 



Size moderate, hind tarsi red 4. H. biifTaloeiisis. 



Size large, hind tarsi black .5. H. florideusis. 



In their other papers, while occasionally discussing the species of 

 the genus, they make no changes save in suppressing the genus 

 Hcemorrhagia, while they add no new species in this group. In the 

 section Heviaris they give random notes, but no comparative or tab- 

 ular statements. 



In vol. 1 of the " Bulletin of the Buffalo Soc. N. Sci." Mr. Grote 

 gives another synopsis of this group of the genus, adopting the fol- 

 lowing division : 



Grou]) I (Chaniiesesia). 



Discal cell of primaries free; vitreous field of secondaries crosfed by five nervules. 



Thorax beneath with lateral red shades ; hind wings beneath with a pale shade 



at anal angle gracilis. 



Group II (Htemorrhagia). 

 Discal cell of primaries crossed by a longitudinal bar of scales, appearing as a 

 prolongation of vein 5; vitreous field of secondaries crossed by six 

 nervules. 

 Inner edge of external marginal band of the fore wings not dentate on the 

 interspaces. 



Size small (expanse 1.65— 1.70 inch.) bufraloeiisis. 



Size moderate (expanse 1.80— 2.20 inch.) uiiifbriiiis. 



Size large (expanse % 2.40 inch.) florideiisis. 



Inner edge of external marginal band of the fore wings dentate on the in- 

 terspaces. 



Abdomen with the pre-anal segments olivaceous tliysbe. 



Abdomen terminally entirely deep red fuscicaii(lis>
