An authentic bred specimen received from Mr. Kellicott is in the 

 U. S. National Museum. Authentic bred specimens of gaUoddlplo- 

 p ipp! were kindlj^ sent me by Rev. Dr. iVles; they show this species 

 to be the same as Kellicotfs, as descriptions and food plant would 

 indicate. It is like the foregoing-, a large, somewhat variable, but 

 easil}" recognized species, which is about as common around Washing- 

 ton as g(dhEs()Ii dag nils. 



Ilahltid. — Michigan (Kellicott). Canada (Fyles), District of Columliia

Antennae reddish lirown, each joint Avith tip and two small dots on 

 the middle above l)lack. La])ial palpi of pronounced GuoT'niwsclieiiia 

 form, reddish white with black shading on the outside of the second 

 joint and at ])ase and near tip of the terminal joint; extreme tip 

 whitish. 



Face, head, and thorax light clay brown, unmottled; basal one-sixth 

 of forewings concolorous with thorax, with a small dark brown dot 

 below costa at extreme base. In some specimens this yellow-brown 

 color is continued, gradually fainter, along dorsal edge below fold. 

 The rest of the wing is ochreous, thickly overlaid with dark fuscous 

 scales, most numerous on the costal middle part of the wing and gi-ad-

 ill-dehned longitudinal streaks on the yellow ground color. In the 

 middle of the disk is a short oblong dark reddish-brown spot with 

 black center, and at the end of the cell is a similar nearly moon- 

 shaped spot. 



Below the former on the fold are in some specimens a similarly 

 colored reddish longitudinal spot. 



There is some variation in the intensity of these spots and dark 

 markings, some specimens appearing to the naked eye light reddish 

 yellow with dark irregular longitudinal lines, while others ai)pear dark
