ana I have a specimen so labelled by Mr. Grote from Mr. Neumoe- 

 gen's collection. The two are undoubtedly identical, though rufimedin 

 from the manner in which it is spread has a somewhat different appear- 

 ance. The bright roseate shade renders this species readily recogniz- 

 able. Expands | inch, 17 millim. 

 Habitat. — Texas and Florida.

 VII. fig. 36, tibia, PI. VIII, fig. 47. wing. 



Probably only a variety of Menkeana. The underside is identical, the 

 style of markings above is the same, and the only difference is in the 

 color of primaries. Lack of sufficient material prevents my making the 

 reference with certainty, and I will leave the insect here for the present 

 as a good species. 



DERRIMA, Wlk. 

 C. B. M., Noct 770. 



Eyes naked, rather small, rounded ; head small, sunken, buried in the 

 projecting vestiture of thorax ; front globose, not projected ; tongue 

 moderate ; thorax short, heavy, densely clothed with thick hairy vesti- 

 ture ; abdomen slender ; wings broad and rather short, with rounded 

 outer margin and angles ; tibiae not spinose ; anterior not abbreviated, 

 armed at tip with three terminal spines precisely as in Meluporphyria 

 immortua. 



Two species are described ; one by Walker, which is unknown to me, 

 and the other by Mr. Grote, this is 



l>. Henrietta, Grt, Proc. Ent Soc.Phil. 3. 3, PI. II, fig. 1 (Philomma); PI. 

 VII, fig. 37, tibia, PI. VIII, fig. 48, wing. 



The species is readily recognized by the yellow color of primaries, 

 margined outwardly with red, as shown in the figure ; the spots are small, 

 annulated ; centre white, and arranged as in figure. Expands | inch, 22 

 millim. 



Habitat. — Southern States. 



D. stellata, Wlk., C. B. M. Noct. 770; Grt., Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. 2, 119. 



This species is unknown to me. Mr. Grote who saw it in England 

 says loc. cit. supra. " It differs as follows : The fringes on both wings are 

 long and pink ; the ocellate spots on primaries are a little larger, pure 

 white, narrowly margined with black scales, not with suffused ferruginous 

 borders in which the lower spot is generally absorbed as in Henrietta. 

 The pink terminal space of the same wings is shaded with yellow, and 

 the ground color of both wings beneath is yellow, shaded pink on the 

 borders. Finally the narrow line which defines the pink terminal space
