Euclea iiaiia n. sj). (Plate iv, fig. 15). 
Primaries: costa sti’aiglit, ape.x subacute, outer margin convex, inner margin 
nearly straight, then rounded to base. Dark glossy vval nut-brown, darker than 
cippus (of the same color as some Florida examjiles of cippus), a very small round 
black discal dot in the cell, not elongated as in cippus. Tw'o pea-green patches 
of considerable size, both rouTided and edged outwardly and below with silvery 
white and black. The larger patch occupies the space below the cell, not reach- 
ing the base of the wing and narrowly sejtarated from the internal margin, rect- 
angularly excavated op))Osite the outer third of the margin, the sinus partly 
filled in with a patch of orange ferruginous scales that tends to be bisected on 
the snbmedian vein. The patch extends beyond the end of the green patch, 
reaqhing the obsolete subterminal line, which is lost in the ground color. The 
other green patch is almost circular, in one example produced inwardly a little 
above the discal dot. It is very narrowly separated from the fir.st jiatch and 
almost reaches the costa. It represents the snbapical patch of cippus. Imt shows 
no tendency to become divided. It is follow’ed by the usual orange ferniginons 
patch, trisected by the uervnies and reaching the obsolete subterniinal line. 
Fringes concolorous with primaries, interlined with paler at the base. Secondaries 
scarcely paler than primaries, concolorous. Below, concolorous tvith secondaries 
above, paler along internal margin of primaries and base of fringe The thorax 
is dark like the fore wings, as in the basal tuft and tij) of abdomen. Expanse 
of wings 18—20 mm. 
Hab. — Florida. Ty[)es, two males, in the collection of Mr. Graef. 
I cannot find that this sjiecies has been figured or described before. 
1 have seen it in collections labeled querceti and qaercicola, but it 
does not correspond at all with Herrich-Schtlfier’s figure of the.se 
forms. It difiers from E. cippus var. moidtor in its smaller size, 
round, minute, discal dot ; the green spots being rounded and not 
triangular, the lower elliptical, less deeply excavated than in cippus, 
the upper almost circular, not divided. The red patches are smaller 
than in cippus, and are distinctly divided by the veins. 
Euclea ferruginea Packard. 
1864. — Pack. Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. Hi, 338. 
This species is fnarked like E. vur. delphinii, but has in addition 
a ferruginous patch beyond the suhterminal band. It is closely allied 
to E. cippus. 
The following is Dr. Packard’s descriittion : 
"% more reddish than the other species. . . . Basal green spot small, slightly 
indented externally. Middle snbai)ical spot” [of the three snbapical green spots 
which are very variable, often confluent] “large; lower one obsolete, with a few 
scales connecting it with the reddish discal spot, which is margined above with 
brown. Beyond the green spots the wing is suffused with rust-red. of a lighter 
blue than any of the other species. Outer edge darker, like the costa. Beneath 
both wings are alike, almost testaceous. Fringe brown.” Habitat, Canada. 
Expanse 30 mm. 
The larvii is unknown.
