AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 231 



with a yellow fascia in which is a distinct black discal spot almost divid- 

 ing the fascia ; body concolorous, with primaries ; beneath primaries 

 black with a narrow median fascia, a small ovate spot at outer two-thirds 

 and an elongate apical spot, yellow. Secondaries as above. 



Like the rest of this group the anterior tibia have a long inner and 

 three outer and shorter claws, much as in tr (fascia. Expands f inch, 

 18 millim. 



Habitat. — Selma, Alabama. 



The species has the ovipositor of 9 distinctly extruded. The apices 

 of primaries are somewhat more produced than in the others in this 

 group. 



A single specimen in my collection, received from Prof. Riley after 

 the plates were alread}' completed and of which therefore no figures are 

 given. 



S. tertia, Grt., Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1874, 212 (Tamila), PI. VII, fig. 19, 

 tibia, PI. VIII, fig. 30, primary. 



Begins a new § and readily distinguished from any of the preceding 

 by the four outer claws of tibia ; the markings are shown by the figure 

 and are ochrous on a white ground ; the reniform is distinct, the secon- 

 daries dirty white with a darker shade at outer margin. Expands 1-1 \ 

 inches, 2-1—27 millim. 



Habitat. — Texas. 



S. albalascia, sp. nov. (PI. VII, fig. 20, tibia, PL VIII, fig. 31, wing). 



Closely related to the foregoing, but obviously distinct by the black 

 outer margin and large discal spot of secondaries, and by the broad white 

 space of primaries, the want of the reniform which is only faintly indi- 

 cated, and by the different armature of the fore tibia. It, as well as the 

 preceding, differs from the subsequent species in the § by the slighter 

 body and comparatively larger wings. There may be, and probably are, 

 some structural characters which would separate these two species from 

 the others in this genus, but I have not been able to find them, nor do I 

 believe that they can be discovered except by denuding the specimens. 

 Expands 1 inch. The type is a % in my collection. 



Habitat. — Utah. 



S. Regia, Strk.. Lep. 121 (Heliothis), PI. VII, fig. 21, tibia. PI. VIII, fig. 32, 

 wing. 



A very pretty species, differing from the others of the § by the rose- 

 ate primaries, crossed by a pale median shade, and with pale outer mar- 

 gin. Expands Ik inch, 26-30 millim. 



Habitat. — Kansas.
