S. textor Hiibner. 



Occurs in the Southern States, North Carolina, Florida. 

 S. celia Skinner. 



From Texas. The male stigma consists of a slight thickening 

 along the outer section of the median vein and base of vein 2. In 

 another specimen it extends out a little between the fork of these 

 veins, suggesting the form shown by anus and simius. The species 

 therefore approaches the genus Amblyscirtes. 

 S. nereus Edwards. 



I have only a single worn female from the Huachuca Mountains, 

 Arizona, named by Dr. Barnes, so I cannot vouch for the generic posi- 

 tion in the absence of a male. 

 S. hegon Scudder. 



One male is before me from Texas, labelled samoset by Mr. Belfrage. 

 S. comus Edwards. 



Unknown to me. I see nothing in the description to separate this 

 from hegon except the larger size. From Texas.
