the suhterminal line. The mirrow space between the obscure sub- 
terminal line and the green patch is filled in with a rust-red shade. 
The larva, as described by Mr. Pearsall, does not seem to differ 
from Prof French’s description of E. pceaulatn more than is the case 
in many examples oi' clppus, and I expect that a good series of moths 
will show that we have to do with but one species. I have been 
able to examine but one specimen of pcenulata and four of elUotii, 
among the latter the type of the species by the kindness of Mr. 
Pearsall. 
Hab . — Middle States. 
The specimens figured in the plate I owe to the kindness of Dr. 
Packard. 
Kiiclea pieiiiilata Clemens (Plate iv, fig. 14). 
1860. —Clemens, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil. 159. 
1881. — French, Papilio i, 144. 
Thorax and primaries dark brown, the green patch on the wings similar to 
that of cippns in its exterior and interior outline, but extending outwardly to 
the subterminal line and much fui'ther basally over the cell, reaching the base 
of the wing, but not extending on to the costa. It is edged with silvery white 
outwardly and below, and narrowly with black, and the sinus above the middle 
of the interior margin contains a large rust-red spot as in cippns. The brown 
space along the costa widens toward the base. Secondaries paler brown ; under- 
side still paler, concolorons. Expanse 28 mm. 
Hub. — Illinois. 
Prof. French describes the larva, which is very similar to that of 
cippm, but lacks the subquadrate spots, which internutt the subdorsal 
bands of that species. 
Eiiclea iiicis^a Harvey (Plate iv, fig. 16 , 17 ? ). 
1876. — Harv., Can. Ent. viii, 5, Pnrasa. 
1877. — Grote, Can. Ent. ix, 85. Euclea. 
Primaries wood-brown, nearly covered by a large green patch more extensive 
than in psennlntn Clem., slightly waved opposite the cell, and rectangularly exca- 
vated opposite the outer third of the internal margin, much more distinctly in 
the male than in the female. The patch is edged outwardly and below with a 
darker line, and is but very narrowly separated from the costa and internal 
margin, more broadly just at the base of the costa. Secondaries pale testaceous, 
unicolorous. Below concolorons with secondaries above. The thorax is dark 
brown, the abdomen pale. Expanse % 26 mm. ; 9 nim. 
Hub. — Texas. 
Mr. Grote carefully separates this species from Euclea poemdata 
Clem. 
I know of no description of the larva. The species seems, in some 
resitects, intermediate between the genera Euclea and Parasa, and it 
will be very piteresting to observe the affinities of the larva when 
found, as the larva} of these genera difier decidedly.
