S. arabus Edwards. 



Arizona. One specimen in the Strecker collection. It much 

 resembles the South American odilia Berg. 

 S. fusca Grote & Robinson. 



From the Southern States, New York to Georgia. The male 

 stigma is practically obsolete, though I think I see a trace of it. The 

 species might be placed in Lerodea.

Like vialis above, but the spots whiter and smaller. On under- 

 side of hind wings there is only a faint purplish irroration on a brown 

 o-round, faintly showing a discal dot and outer band in pale scales. 

 Described from three specimens in the Strecker collection from 

 Georgia and Florida, labelled Amhlyscirtes eos. It may be a southern 

 form of vialis. The three specimens are uniform.
