9G AUG. R. GROTE. 



Catooala adopfiva, Grote. — 5 9- — Anterior winces wood brown, dis- 

 tinctly shaded with clicstnut brown subferminally and before tlie t. n. line. 

 The t. a. line is black, distinct, slightly three flexed, broad and diffuse superiorly. 

 Subreniforni larger than in 0. innuhens, black circled, filled with chestnut brown, 

 closed. T. p. line with two prominent, subequal teeth, else not dentate bi t 

 slightly waved with a rather deep inflection above vein 1. Subterminal line 

 black, dentate, preceded by a whitish shade, obsolete on costal region. Hind 

 wings deep yellow with the median band oblique, not rounded as in innuhens, 

 continued, lost in the fuscous hairs of the internal n»argin, angulated opposite 

 the ante-terminal constriction of the marginal band which is very deep and 

 sometimes nearly interrupts it. Beneath both wings yellow with the black 

 bands narrower than in C.^nnubens. Expanse 64 mm. 



Dallas Co. Texas (Boll). 



A number of specimens in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. 

 The different tone of the primaries, the larger chestnut brown sub- 

 reuiforra and the shape of the black band of the hind wings, suffi- 

 ciently characterize the species, and separate it from C. innubeiis, a 

 species also taken numerously by Boll in the same locality. 



Catoeala eoelebs, Grote. — 9' — Allied to C. Consors; smaller, the ab- 

 domen fuscous, the median band of the hind wings broader, more even. Pri- 

 maries ashen, shaded with black. Median lines broad,' velvety black, distinct, 

 continued. T. a. outwardly oblique, widely indented submedially, the extra 

 basal space deepening in tone to the line which is followed by a whitish shade 

 over the median space anteriorly. Subreniform pale, large, open to the t. p. 

 line which is siromjiy and regularly dentate, without the usual discal projection. 

 Tbs t. p. line is followed by a deep brown shade after which the broad whitish 

 subdentate subterminal shade band crowns the wing. Terminal space ashen, 

 deepening outwardly. Hind wings light bright yellow, with a broad tolerably 

 even median band continued, and joining blackish hairs on internal margin. 

 Tern)inal band wide, comparatively even on its inner edge, enclosing a large 

 distinct yellow apical spot, and with the yellow color appearing inferiorly as a 

 line upon the margin. Fringe blackish. Beneath yellowish, deeper toned on 

 hind wings with brownish marginal, and wide even black median bands. Ex- 

 panse 64 mm. 



St. Catharines, August 18, No. 182, Geo. Norman Esq. 



Catocnla aiina n. s. — 5- — ^'^^ moderate, larger than C. potygama. Fore 

 wings eltar wiiitis'li gray, more purely white on the median space before the 

 reniform and over llie subterminal space. Ordinary lines approximate. T. a. 

 line, geminate, black, superiorly diff"useand running evenly outwardly obliquely 

 to below the median vein opposite the lower margin of the subreniform, which 

 it nearly touches, and with which it seems to be connected by a prolongation of 

 the black scales; below this angulation it runs downwardly sinuously to inter- 

 nal margin. Reniform rather large, black ringed, irregularly outlined supe- 

 riorly, with an interior aunulus, lying in a more bluish gray shade than the 

 rest of the wing. T. p. line exserted, angulate, geminate, with a single sharp
