 OF 1913. 



By Harrison G. Dyar, 



Custodian of Lepidoptcra, United States National Museum. 



A list of Dominican Lepidoptera was published many years ago by 

 Godman and Salvin and Herbert Druce.^ The present list adds some 

 species, but others abeady reported are missing from this collection. 

 All the specimens were taken by H. W. Foote, either in June and July, 

 1913, or without definite data. The data are therefore omitted under 

 the specific headings. The names of the species are followed by the 

 number of specimens taken.
